Full details
This Helly Hansen Crew 2 Hooded Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a waterproof, windproof, and breathable outer or mid-layer for sailing and outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its robust HELLY TECH® protection and comfortable Polartec® fleece lining, ensuring warmth and dryness.

FAQs
What is HELLY TECH® Protection?
HELLY TECH® Protection is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that creates a waterproof, windproof, and breathable barrier, keeping you dry and comfortable in various weather conditions.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
Yes, it can be worn as a warm outer layer in moderately cold conditions or as a mid-layer over other insulating garments for extreme cold.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the waterproof properties.
Is the jacket suitable for activities other than sailing?
Absolutely. Its waterproof, windproof, and breathable features make it suitable for hiking, fishing, general outdoor activities, and even casual wear in inclement weather.
What material is the insulation made of?
The jacket features Polartec® fleece lining in the upper body and hood, and taffeta-lined polyester insulation in the sleeves for easy layering.
What makes the zipper saltwater-resistant?
The YKK® Vislon® zipper used is specifically designed with materials and construction that resist corrosion from saltwater exposure, making it more durable for marine environments.
Does the hood stay in place?
The hood can be adjusted with an internal cord to ensure a snug fit. It can also be conveniently stowed within the collar when not needed.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof-textiles.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper with water to remove any salt or debris. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
Fleece lining feels less effective.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Lint or dirt can affect the insulating properties of the fleece.
Hood is difficult to stow.
Ensure the hood is completely dry and free of wrinkles before attempting to fold it back into the collar. Check that no drawcords are obstructing the process.
