FAQs
What makes this jacket waterproof and breathable?
The jacket utilizes HELLY TECH PROTECTION, which is a combination of a waterproof and breathable membrane and coating, combined with fully taped seams. This construction ensures water cannot get in from the outside, while allowing moisture vapor from the inside to escape.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is lined with Polartec fleece and is designed as a midlayer. It provides good warmth and wind protection, but for extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it over additional insulating clothing such as a thicker fleece or down jacket.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash warm (40°C) on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Wash with similar colors and tumble dry on low heat. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Avoid ironing directly on any prints or decorative elements.
What does 'PFC-free' mean for the water repellency?
PFC-free refers to the absence of per- and polyfluorinated chemicals in the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatment. These chemicals are often used for water repellency but can be environmentally persistent. PFC-free treatments are a more sustainable alternative.
Can I customize this jacket with my own logo?
Yes, the jacket is described as 'Embroider friendly,' meaning it is designed to accommodate embroidery. However, it is recommended to use a professional service for customization to avoid damaging the fabric or its protective properties.
What is the difference between this jacket and a purely waterproof shell?
This jacket offers both waterproofness and insulation due to its fleece lining and 2-layer construction. A purely waterproof shell typically focuses solely on external water and wind protection without inherent insulation, allowing for more customization of warmth through layering.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof or water is soaking into the fabric.
The Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear according to the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is properly washed and dried according to care instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels damp inside despite being dry outside.
This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Check care label for proper washing instructions; avoid fabric softeners which can impede breathability. If the issue persists, the HELLY TECH membrane may be compromised, though this is uncommon with proper care.
