FAQs
Is the jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, it utilizes HELLY TECH Performance technology and fully sealed seams to provide a high level of waterproof protection.
Can I wear this in extreme cold?
It is designed for urban, moderate-to-cold conditions with its PrimaLoft insulation, but may require layering for sub-zero temperatures.
How do I use the reflective element?
The reflective element is designed to fold up when needed, typically located at the cuffs or hem, providing extra visibility to drivers.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is integrated into the design for better weather protection and is adjustable via a drawstring system.
What is the fit of this jacket?
The jacket features a standard fit, which is designed to allow for comfortable layering underneath without being overly baggy.
Can this be machine washed?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, but always follow the specific instructions on the garment's internal care tag.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the fabric surface.
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in water repellent treatment.
Inner lining feels damp after extended time in heavy rain.
While the jacket is waterproof, check that all cuffs and the hood are properly tightened. Ensure the front zipper is pulled up completely to engage the storm flap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always follow the care label instructions. Typically, machine wash the garment in cool water and tumble dry on low heat, which also helps reactivate the DWR coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical membrane. Store the jacket in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight when not in use. To maintain the waterproof properties, check the fabric annually; if water stops beading on the surface, consider applying a technical wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment to restore the factory finish.
