FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

Yes, it uses Helly Tech Protection technology with sealed seams to provide a high level of waterproof and windproof protection suitable for general sailing conditions.

Can I add my team logo to this jacket?

Yes, it features a secret zipper inside that provides access for embroidery without puncturing the waterproof shell.

Is the hood detachable?

The Crew Midlayer 2.0 does not feature a hood, focusing instead on a high, protective collar design.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash in cool water using a technical detergent. Never use fabric softener or bleach, and always air dry.

Is this suitable for winter weather?

It provides good warmth for cool weather due to the fleece lining, but it is best used as a layer within a larger system during deep winter or extreme cold.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the fabric surface.

The DWR finish has worn off. Wash the jacket and reapply a DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.

Breathability seems reduced.

Dirt or salt build-up in the pores of the membrane can block airflow. Wash the garment according to the care instructions to clear the membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the longevity of your jacket, ensure you adjust the hem and cuffs properly to create a seal against wind and spray. For cleaning, machine wash the jacket in cool water using a technical fabric detergent, avoiding harsh bleach or fabric softeners that can degrade the waterproof coating. Always air dry the garment; avoid direct high-heat sources like tumble dryers or radiators, as this can damage the seam sealing. If the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish begins to bead less effectively over time, reapply a spray-on treatment specifically designed for waterproof technical gear.
