FAQs
What does Helly Tech® Performance mean?
Helly Tech® Performance is a technology used by Helly Hansen that provides a waterproof and windproof outer shell while maintaining breathability. It's designed for a wide range of outdoor activities in various weather conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Munich Raincoat is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. While it is wind-resistant and can be layered, it does not provide significant insulation on its own. For very cold weather, you will need to wear insulating layers underneath.
How often should I re-apply the water repellent treatment?
The need to re-apply depends on usage and care. A good indicator is when water no longer beads up and roll off the fabric but instead soaks in. Typically, reactivating through tumble drying is recommended after washing, and a full re-treatment might be needed every few washes or as performance dictates.
Can I machine wash the raincoat?
Yes, the Munich Raincoat can be machine washed warm (40°C) using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, and rinse thoroughly.
What is the benefit of the double storm flap?
The double storm flap covers the main front zipper, providing an extra barrier against wind and rain penetration. This significantly enhances the jacket's waterproof and windproof capabilities, keeping you drier and warmer.
Does the jacket have pit zips for ventilation?
The product description does not mention pit zips. Ventilation relies on the breathability of the Helly Tech® Performance fabric and the ability to adjust openings like the main zipper and hood.
What material is the lining made from?
The lining of the Munich Raincoat is made from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to the product's sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof anymore.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on medium heat for 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR. If performance is still low, consider applying a specific DWR re-treatment spray or wash.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric flaps are not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.
This can occur if the garment's breathability is overwhelmed by high exertion or if the inner lining is damp. Ensure you are wearing breathable base layers and allow the jacket to air out after use. Check that the ventilation features (if any) are not blocked.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Check that the DWR treatment is active. While Helly Tech® garments are seam-sealed, heavily worn areas might require re-treatment. Ensure all closures (zipper, hood drawcord) are properly fastened during use.
