Helly Hansen Salt Windbreaker - Blue - XXL

The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or showers. For heavy or prolonged rainfall, a jacket with a higher waterproofing rating would be more suitable.

Machine wash in warm water at 40°C, close zippers before washing, and do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on low temperature if needed.

PFC-free means the product has been manufactured without the use of per- and polyfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in water-repellent treatments but can have environmental impacts. This jacket uses an alternative, more environmentally conscious treatment.

This is a lightweight windbreaker designed primarily for protection against wind and light moisture. For cold weather, layering with warmer garments underneath would be necessary.

The mesh lining improves breathability and comfort, helping to wick away moisture from the skin and preventing the outer shell from feeling clammy against you.

While the design is integral, washing dark colors separately and avoiding excessive fading from sunlight will help maintain its appearance. Follow all care instructions diligently.

This specific product is a size XXL. Please refer to general sizing charts for Helly Hansen apparel for measurements, as fit can vary by style.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Over time, dirt and oils can degrade water repellency. Consider a specific wash for technical outerwear or a re-application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, following product instructions carefully.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a graphite pencil lead) to the teeth.

Ensure the garment is properly washed according to care instructions, as detergent residue can sometimes affect fabric feel. For new garments, a few washes may soften the lining.

This is noted as a possibility for bright colors. Ensure you are washing dark colors separately and using the recommended temperature. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged drying.
