FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?
The jacket provides excellent windproof and waterproof protection and is designed to be layered. For very cold, snowy conditions, you will need to wear substantial insulating layers underneath. It is primarily a protective shell rather than a heavily insulated winter coat.
How do I know if I need to re-apply the DWR treatment?
Water should bead up and roll off the jacket's surface. If water starts to soak into the fabric, forming dark patches, it's a sign that the DWR treatment may need to be reapplied.
Can I machine dry the jacket?
Yes, you can tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable membranes.
What does HELLY TECH® Protection mean?
HELLY TECH® Protection is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof, windproof, and breathable barrier. It ensures you stay dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.
What is the difference between this jacket and a heavy-duty rain suit?
This jacket is designed for versatility, offering good protection for sailing and general outdoor activities. Heavy-duty rain suits are typically made with more robust materials and construction for extreme conditions and prolonged exposure to harsh weather.
Can I wear this jacket in the summer?
Yes, the jacket is breathable, making it suitable for cooler summer days or evenings, especially if there's a chance of rain or wind. It might be too warm for very hot and humid conditions on its own, but its breathability helps.
Is the jacket insulated?
The jacket itself is not heavily insulated. It features a 2-layer construction with a lining and a brushed fleece collar/pockets for comfort. Its primary function is weather protection, and insulation should be provided by the layers worn underneath.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the DWR treatment is intact. If not, clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a new DWR treatment following the product's instructions. Check that all seams are sealed and that the main zipper is fully closed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or salt residue. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like beeswax) specifically designed for zippers.
Jacket feels less breathable
The fabric may be clogged with dirt or residue. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof/breathable fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners.
Fleece collar feels rough or matted
This can happen with prolonged washing and drying. Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and avoiding fabric softeners. Gentle brushing after drying can help restore some softness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This jacket requires no assembly or setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: The Helly Hansen Women's Crew Sailing Jacket 2.0 is designed as an outer layer. It can be comfortably worn over base layers (like thermals) and mid-layers (like fleece or sweaters) for added warmth. Its regular fit accommodates a range of undergarments.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in warm water (40°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. Do NOT use bleach or fabric softener, as these can degrade the waterproof and breathable properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct high heat, which can damage the fabric.
- Re-Waterproofing: For optimal performance, consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the instructions on the DWR product.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably uncompressed to maintain fabric integrity.
