FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The jacket is designed for rainy and windy conditions, offering waterproof and breathable protection suitable for everyday wear and moderate outdoor activities.
Can I use this jacket for intense hiking or sports?
While it offers good breathability, it's best suited for moderate activities. For very strenuous exercise, a jacket with higher breathability ratings might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C on a mild setting with a small amount of mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not bleach, dry clean, or use fabric softeners.
What does 'HELLY TECH® Protection' mean?
HELLY TECH® Protection is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that makes a garment waterproof, windproof, and breathable.
Are the seams truly waterproof?
Yes, the jacket features fully sealed seams, meaning the stitching points are taped to prevent water penetration, enhancing its waterproof capabilities.
What material is the jacket made of?
The outer fabric and lining are 100% polyester, with a secondary lining of 100% polyamide.
Does the jacket have a hood?
Yes, it features an adjustable hood that can be customized for a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof anymore.
Ensure all seams are sealed and re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the outer fabric is no longer beading water. Follow care instructions carefully, avoiding fabric softeners.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to close.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can be due to insufficient ventilation or high humidity. Ensure the hood and hem are adjusted properly to allow for airflow, and consider unzipping pockets or the main zipper slightly if appropriate for the conditions.
Elastic cuffs feel loose.
While not typically repairable at home, ensure the cuffs are clean. Extreme wear may lead to loss of elasticity.
