FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the Helly Tech® Protection and sealed seams are designed to provide excellent protection in heavy rain conditions.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is primarily a shell and does not provide insulation. It is suitable for cold weather when layered with insulating mid-layers like fleece or down.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
What does 'breathable' mean in this context?
Breathable means the fabric allows water vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside of the jacket, helping to keep you dry and comfortable during physical activity.
Does the jacket have pit zips for ventilation?
This specific model focuses on essential features and does not typically include pit zips. Ventilation relies on the jacket's inherent breathability and opening the main zipper.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
It's ideal for a range of activities including city commuting, light hiking, cycling, and everyday wear in wet or windy conditions.
How durable is the waterproof coating?
The Helly Tech® Protection is a durable technology, but like all waterproof coatings, its performance can be maintained through proper care and the occasional reapplication of a DWR treatment.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is intact. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment if necessary. Check and clean the sealed seams for any debris.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax specifically designed for zippers.
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.
This could be due to lack of breathability from trapped moisture. Ensure the jacket is clean and consider using a technical wash to restore performance. Ensure vents (if any) are open.
Hood adjustment is loose.
Tighten the drawcords on the hood to secure a better fit around the face.
