Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Waterwear Salopette 2.0 is designed for young sailors and water sports enthusiasts who require reliable protection and mobility on the water. Developed with input from the Norwegian national sailing teams, these salopettes offer exceptional flexibility and durability through high-stretch, limestone-based neoprene construction. While these pants provide excellent thermal properties and freedom of movement, users should note that the neoprene material requires careful handling and rinsing after saltwater exposure to maintain its integrity over time.

FAQs

Are these salopettes machine washable?

No, you should only hand wash these in cold, fresh water with a mild detergent specifically designed for neoprene.

Can I use these for other water sports?

Yes, their high-stretch design and durability make them excellent for various activities like kayaking or paddleboarding where knee protection is beneficial.

How do I store them properly?

Store them hanging on a wide, padded hanger or laid flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Why is limestone-based neoprene used?

It is utilized for its high-stretch capabilities and for being a more sustainable alternative to traditional oil-based neoprene.

Is the length adjustable?

Yes, the design includes features that allow for length adjustments to provide a personalized, comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels stiff or difficult to put on

Ensure the skin and the interior of the neoprene are dry before dressing. If they are wet, use a small amount of fresh water to lubricate the surface.

Visible salt crystals on surface

Rinse thoroughly with cold fresh water and allow to drip dry in a shaded area.

Minor seam discomfort

Check that the garment is pulled up properly to ensure the flatlock seams align correctly with your anatomy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your salopettes, proper maintenance is essential. After each use, rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris. Allow the item to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene material. When cleaning, use a mild, neoprene-specific detergent if necessary, and avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these can damage the fabric's structural integrity and elasticity. Store flat or on a wide hanger to prevent permanent creasing.
