Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Blaze Hooded Softshell Jacket is an essential outer layer designed for active outdoor enthusiasts, including hikers, trekkers, and ski tourers. It excels at providing excellent mobility and comfort in windy conditions thanks to its 4-way stretch fabric and breathable construction. While it is perfect for light weather protection and active use, users should note that it is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, meaning it may not provide enough protection during heavy or prolonged rainfall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your softshell's water-resistant properties. Always consult the garment's internal care label before washing. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using a mild, technical cleaner. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can strip away the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric's stretch and finish. If you notice water no longer beads up on the surface, consider applying a garment-safe re-waterproofing treatment to restore performance.
