Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Frogner Jacket is an ideal choice for adult men navigating unpredictable urban weather who require a reliable blend of insulation and weather protection. Its standout benefit is the combination of Helly Tech Performance waterproofing and PrimaLoft Black Eco insulation, which ensures warmth and dryness during cold, rainy commutes. One caveat for prospective buyers is that while it is designed for versatile city use, the heavy-duty material and insulation may feel too warm for high-intensity physical activities in mild temperatures.

FAQs

Does the hood detach?

Is the jacket breathable?
Yes, it is constructed with Helly Tech Performance, which is designed to allow moisture vapor to escape, keeping you comfortable during light activity.
Can I wear this in sub-zero temperatures?

Where is the reflective element located?

Is the material windproof?
Yes, the outer shell is completely windproof, making it highly effective at blocking cold drafts.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off
The DWR coating may be worn down. Tumble dry the jacket on low heat or apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Difficulty moving the main zipper
Clean the zipper tracks of any debris or dirt using a soft brush and ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Always close zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners before washing.
- Detergents: Use a mild liquid detergent; avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can strip the technical DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the waterproof properties of the outer fabric.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods to preserve the color and material integrity.
