FAQs
What is Helly Tech® Performance?
Helly Tech® Performance is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable technology used by Helly Hansen to create protective outer layers that keep you dry and comfortable in various weather conditions.
Is this jacket insulated?
The jacket is lightly insulated for comfort, but it is not a heavy winter coat. It's designed to work well with layering for warmth in colder temperatures.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in cold water (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
What does the neon-colored brim do?
The neon-colored brim on the hood is designed to increase visibility, making the child easier to spot in low-light conditions or inclement weather.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to remove it when not needed or to change the jacket's appearance and functionality.
Are there pockets for storing items?
Yes, the jacket features zippered hand pockets to securely store small items and keep hands warm.
How do I maintain the jacket's waterproofness?
To maintain waterproofing, follow the washing instructions carefully and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically after cleaning, as the original finish can wear over time.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
While the jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain, its insulation is moderate. For very cold weather, it is best used as an outer shell layered over warm mid-layers like fleece or down.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.
Child feels cold during use
This jacket is primarily waterproof and windproof; add more insulating layers underneath, such as a fleece jacket or thermal base layer, for colder weather.
Hood is not staying securely attached
Ensure the snaps or fasteners attaching the hood are properly aligned and fully secured.
