FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the Helly Tech® Protection technology is fully waterproof and designed for protection in various weather conditions, including rain.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool water (30-40°C) using liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

Can I use fabric softener when washing?

No, fabric softeners should not be used as they can compromise the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric.

What does 'inshore conditions' mean for this jacket?

'Inshore conditions' refers to sailing in coastal waters, closer to land, which can still involve significant wind, spray, and waves.

Is the hood removable?

The hood is packable into the collar, not fully removable.

What is the benefit of the 2-way stretch fabric?

The 2-way stretch fabric allows for greater flexibility and a wider range of movement, which is crucial for performing sailing maneuvers without restriction.

What is the main material of the jacket?

The main material is Helly Tech® Protection, featuring a 2-layer construction with a soft fleece lining inside the collar and hand pockets.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the jacket surface

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth with water and a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or beeswax to the zipper teeth to improve function.

Jacket feels clammy inside

Ensure the garment is not worn over non-breathable layers. Open zippers and adjust cuffs/hem to increase ventilation. The jacket's breathability may be exceeded by high exertion levels in humid conditions.
