FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this jacket?
The Helly Hansen Workwear W Manchester 2.0 Softs Jacket is designed as a versatile, durable jacket for everyday use, providing protection from wind and light weather elements.
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating and a membrane, offering resistance to light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and is best suited for dry or lightly wet conditions.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. This jacket is available in XXXL, and it's recommended to check the chest and waist measurements for the best fit.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
This jacket provides wind protection and some warmth from its softshell fabric and fleece-lined collar. For colder temperatures, it is designed to be layered with warmer mid-layers or a zip-in compatible jacket.
What material is the jacket made of?
The main fabric is a blend of 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane (290 g/m²), providing durability, stretch, and a softshell performance.
How should I clean and maintain the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent, avoid bleach, and do not iron. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain the DWR finish.
Does the jacket have many pockets?
Yes, it features hand pockets with YKK zippers for secure storage.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric free. If the zipper is still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.
Reduced water repellency
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
Jacket feels less windproof over time
Ensure all seams and the main zipper are intact. The membrane within the softshell fabric may have degraded slightly with wear; proper care can prolong its effectiveness.
Inner lining feels rough
The brushed fleece inside the collar is designed for comfort. Ensure it is clean; excessive pilling can occur with rough washing or drying cycles. Wash on a gentle cycle and consider air drying.
