FAQs
What is Helly Tech® Performance?
Helly Tech® Performance is a fabric technology developed by Helly Hansen that provides a waterproof, windproof, and breathable outer layer, designed to keep you dry from the inside and out during outdoor activities.
How do I clean the Munich Raincoat?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with mild detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Reactivate DWR by ironing or tumble drying on low heat.
Is the coat suitable for very cold weather?
The Munich Raincoat is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating piece, such as a fleece or down jacket, underneath.
What does the DWR treatment do?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the outer fabric dry and maintain the garment's performance.
Can I wear this coat for active pursuits like hiking?
Yes, the two-way stretch fabric, breathability of Helly Tech® Performance, and secure pockets make it suitable for hiking and other active pursuits where protection from the elements is needed.
What is the fit like?
The coat has a regular fit. It is designed to accommodate standard layering but might feel snug if you typically wear very bulky items underneath.
How do I reactivate the water repellency?
After washing and drying, you can reactivate the DWR treatment by ironing the garment on a low setting or placing it in a tumble dryer on low heat for approximately 20 minutes.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through the fabric
Ensure the DWR treatment is active. If it has worn off, follow the reactivation steps in the care instructions. Check that all zippers and storm flaps are properly secured.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to help it slide smoothly. Ensure the zipper is straight before zipping.
Hood does not stay in place
Adjust the drawcord on the hood to tighten it around your head for a secure fit. Ensure the hood is fully extended and the drawcord is pulled evenly.
Reduced breathability / feeling clammy inside
This can indicate a clogged membrane. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, ensuring thorough rinsing to remove detergent residue. Avoid fabric softeners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Munich Raincoat requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zippers are fully functional before first use.
Compatibility: This raincoat is designed as outerwear and is compatible with most standard clothing layers. For optimal warmth in colder conditions, pair it with fleece or insulated mid-layers.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, as it can impair the DWR treatment and breathability.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Do not bleach.
- Reactivating DWR: After washing and drying, you can reactivate the DWR treatment by ironing the garment on a low setting (around 110°C or 230°F) or by using a tumble dryer on low heat for 20 minutes. Protect the rubber parts during ironing.
- Seam Sealing: Periodically check seams for integrity. If a seam appears compromised, professional re-sealing might be necessary.
