Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Manchester Zip-In Fleece Jacket is designed for adults seeking a reliable, quality fleece layer. Its primary benefit is its versatility, offering warmth on its own or as a zip-in layer for compatible Helly Hansen jackets. A minor consideration is that it's a standalone fleece, meaning its full potential is unlocked when paired with a compatible shell.

FAQs

What makes this jacket a 'Zip-In' fleece?

It features a specific zipper system designed to connect and integrate with certain Helly Hansen shell jackets, effectively turning the fleece into a removable insulated liner.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The main fabric is 100% Polyester fleece, weighing 320 g/m². The inside collar is brushed for comfort.

Can I zip this fleece into any jacket?

No, this fleece is specifically designed to zip into the Helly Hansen 71043 Manchester Shell Jacket and 71045 Manchester Shell Coat.

How should I wash the fleece jacket?

Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C). Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron or dry clean.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this is a fleece jacket, providing insulation. It is not waterproof on its own and would require a compatible waterproof shell for protection against rain.

What sizes and colors are available?

This model is available in Black and Blue, and across a range of adult sizes. Please check the product listing for specific size and color availability.

What is the warranty on this jacket?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of sale or through the manufacturer's official channels. Please consult your purchase documentation or Helly Hansen's official website for details.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. Gently pull the zipper while holding the fabric taut. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or wax can be applied to the zipper teeth.

Fleece appears matted or less soft.

This can occur with frequent washing. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions, particularly using low heat for tumble drying. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece over time.

Zipper does not engage with the compatible shell jacket.

Verify that you are using a compatible Helly Hansen shell jacket (model 71043 or 71045). Ensure both zippers are fully lowered and aligned correctly before attempting to zip them together. Check for any damage to the zippers on either garment.
