Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Ace Rain Jacket is an ideal choice for urban commuters and outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable, waterproof protection without sacrificing style. Featuring the proprietary Helly Tech Performance technology, it ensures breathability and dryness during sudden downpours in the city. While it provides excellent protection against the elements, potential users should note that its 2-layer construction is optimized for general rain protection rather than extreme mountaineering or high-alpine environments.

FAQs
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is fixed but features adjustable elements to ensure a secure fit.
Can I wear this jacket in winter?
The jacket acts as a shell. You can wear it in winter if you layer a warm fleece or mid-layer underneath, but it does not have built-in insulation.
Does it have an internal pocket?
The jacket features secure zip hand pockets on the exterior.
What is Helly Tech Performance?
It is a proprietary technology from Helly Hansen that combines a waterproof, breathable fabric membrane with a DWR coating to block wind and water.
How should I measure for the right size?
Refer to the standard Helly Hansen size chart, focusing on chest and sleeve length for the best fit while layering.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and apply a DWR restoring spray to bring back water-beading performance.
Zipper feels stiff or sticky
Clean the zipper tracks of any debris and lightly lubricate them with a zipper-specific lubricant or a bar of paraffin wax.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproof performance for city use

Cons
- Not intended for extreme mountain conditions
- Limited to two-layer protection
- Polyester material requires specific care to maintain water repellency
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket continues to perform, proper maintenance is essential. Always close all zippers before washing to prevent damage to the fabric or the zipper teeth. Wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle using a technical garment cleaner. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. For drying, tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the water-repellent properties of the outer layer. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, consider applying a spray-on DWR treatment to restore the water-shedding capabilities.
