Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Workwear UC-ME Winter Jacket is designed for adult professionals requiring superior winter worksite performance. Its key benefit lies in combining lightweight fabric with functional design and clever details for enhanced mobility and comfort. A potential caveat is its Class 3 high-visibility rating, which may not be sufficient for all work environments requiring higher visibility standards. Key features include articulated sleeves, adjustable hood and hem, helmet-compatible hood, reflective stripes, and multiple YKK zippered pockets.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

Where can I find the ID card loop?

What are the benefits of the seam-free shoulders?
Seam-free shoulders, combined with articulated sleeves, enhance freedom of movement and reduce the risk of chafing or discomfort during physical activities.
Does the jacket have a specific rating for thermal insulation?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check the zipper track for any fabric obstructions. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant.
Reflective stripes appear to be fading
Ensure washing instructions are strictly followed, particularly the maximum wash cycle count (20x) and temperature (40°C). Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
Hood adjustment is not holding its position
Check the drawcord and toggles for any damage or wear. Ensure the drawcord is properly threaded through the adjustment mechanism.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive
Adjust the hem and cuffs using the integrated drawcords and adjustable cuffs. If the fit remains an issue, consider if a larger size is required, referencing the size chart.
