Helly Hansen Salt Original Sailing Jacket - Blue - XL

Helly Tech® Performance is a technology that ensures garments are both waterproof/windproof and breathable. It uses a membrane or coating to prevent water and wind from penetrating while allowing moisture vapor from the inside to escape.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR treatment.

This refers to materials that have been collected within 50 km of a coastline or major waterway in regions at risk of plastic pollution, and then processed into new materials for the garment. It's an initiative to prevent plastic from entering oceans.

This jacket is designed as a protective outer shell. For very cold weather, you will need to layer appropriate thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers underneath for warmth.

The cuffs feature an adjustable system, typically with Velcro or a snap mechanism, allowing you to tighten them around your wrists or gloves to prevent water entry.

Yes, while optimized for sailing, the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties make it suitable for any outdoor activity in wet or windy conditions, such as hiking, commuting, or general wet-weather wear.

The jacket has a regular fit, designed to accommodate layering without being overly baggy.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need to be reapplied. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, then use a DWR spray or wash-in treatment suitable for waterproof and breathable fabrics.

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently rub a wax-based product (like a candle or lip balm) along the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

This can be due to insufficient ventilation or high humidity. Ensure the underarm vents (if present) are open, and adjust the hood and hem drawcords for better airflow. If the issue persists, consider if the conditions exceed the jacket's breathability rating.

Avoid high heat during washing and drying, and do not iron directly on the reflective parts. Minor peeling may not affect functionality, but significant damage may compromise visibility.
