FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this is a softshell jacket with a DWR treatment, meaning it offers resistance to light rain and moisture but is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
It is best suited for cool to mild weather, especially when wind protection is needed. It can be layered for colder conditions.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) using mild soap. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Do not iron.
Can I zip other jackets into this one?
The jacket is zip-in compatible with specific Helly Hansen garments. Look for the zip-in feature on compatible layers.
What is the main benefit of the softshell material?
Softshell material offers a good combination of stretch, breathability, and wind resistance, making it comfortable for active use.
Are the reflective details durable?
Reflective details are typically integrated into the fabric or applied as a print. Standard washing and care will help maintain their reflectivity.
What does 'extended back' mean for comfort?
The extended back provides slightly longer coverage at the rear of the jacket, offering better protection and comfort when bending over or sitting.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not repelling water effectively.
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of lint or fabric. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like a graphite pencil) to the zipper teeth.
Fit is too tight or too loose.
Adjust the cuffs and hem drawcord for a snugger fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider if a different size is needed. Refer to the size chart.
Inner lining feels rough.
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. Fabric softener is not recommended as it can affect the fabric's properties and DWR coating.
