Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Manchester 2.0 Softshell Jacket is designed for adult women seeking a durable and versatile outerwear piece for everyday use. Its key benefit is providing protection from the weather and wind with a streamlined, comfortable fit. A potential caveat is that it offers only some protection, not full waterproofing. This jacket features softshell fabric with a membrane and DWR treatment, a brushed fleece-lined collar for comfort, articulated sleeves for mobility, and adjustable cuffs and hem for a customized fit. Reflective details enhance visibility, and it is designed to be zip-in compatible with other Helly Hansen garments.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Helly Hansen Manchester 2.0 Softshell Jacket is not fully waterproof. It features a softshell fabric with a membrane and DWR treatment, offering good resistance to wind and light precipitation, but it is not designed for heavy rain.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

This jacket is designed for moderate temperatures and provides wind protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating garment underneath, especially since it is zip-in compatible.

What does 'zip-in compatible' mean?

It means the jacket has features (like specific loops or attachment points) that allow it to be securely connected to compatible Helly Hansen mid-layers or inner jackets, creating a combined system for enhanced warmth and protection.

How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can be restored by washing the jacket and then applying a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product. Follow the instructions on the re-treatment product.

Are there pockets for storing items?

Yes, the jacket features hand pockets with YKK zippers to secure your belongings. Some pockets also have a brushed lining for added comfort.

What material is the jacket made of?

The main fabric is a blend of 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane, weighing 290 g/m².

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not shedding water effectively anymore

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Wash the jacket and then apply a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product according to the product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a graphite pencil) to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels less breathable

The fabric's pores might be blocked. Wash the jacket using a mild detergent without fabric softener to clear any residue. Ensure thorough rinsing.

Fit is too loose or too tight

Utilize the adjustable cuffs and the elastic drawcord in the hem to cinch the jacket for a more secure and personalized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurements.
