Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Lifaloft Hooded Insulator is designed for active adults who engage in hiking, skiing, and other cold-weather outdoor pursuits. Its primary benefit is providing superior warmth without the typical bulk of heavy winter layers, ensuring comfort even when the insulation gets wet. While it is highly versatile, users should note that as a lightweight insulator, it is best utilized as a layering piece rather than a standalone heavy-duty parka in extreme, sub-zero conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, it features a DWR treatment which makes it water-repellent, meaning it can shed light snow or drizzle, but it is not a waterproof raincoat.
Can I wear this as a primary winter coat?
It is designed as an insulator. It works best in mild to moderate cold or as part of a layering system under a shell in harsher conditions.
How do I know if it contains recycled materials?
The jacket is constructed with at least 50% certified recycled fibers and adheres to bluesign® production standards.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is integrated into the jacket design with an elasticized edge for a secure fit.
What is the best way to clean this jacket?
Use a machine wash on a gentle cycle, using a mild detergent, and dry on a low-heat setting.
Does the insulation stay warm if it gets wet?
Yes, Lifaloft™ technology is specifically engineered to retain thermal performance even if the insulation becomes damp.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR treatment may be wearing off. Re-apply a fabric-safe DWR spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear.
The jacket feels less warm than when it was new.
The insulation may have compressed. Machine wash and tumble dry on low with clean tennis balls to fluff the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed as a versatile mid-layer or light outer layer. To maintain the performance of the Lifaloft™ insulation and DWR finish, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR treatment. Tumble dry on low heat to help restore the loft of the insulation. Always zip the pockets and close the front placket before washing to prevent snagging.
