Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Lifaloft Hooded Insulator is designed for active women who prioritize warmth without the traditional bulk of winter jackets, making it an excellent choice for hiking, skiing, and general winter layering. Its core strength lies in its innovative Lifaloft™ insulation that retains warmth even when wet, though users should note it is primarily a mid-layer or light standalone piece rather than a heavy-duty expedition parka.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to a DWR treatment, but it is not a fully waterproof hardshell jacket.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, machine wash in cold water with mild detergent and tumble dry on low.
Is Lifaloft warmer than down?
Lifaloft provides similar warmth to down but with less bulk, and it performs better than down in wet conditions.
What is bluesign® approved fabric?
It means the material was produced in a way that minimizes environmental impact and ensures safety for both consumers and workers.
How do I pack the jacket?
The jacket includes a specific folding pocket designed for quick and compact storage.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm over time
Wash the jacket to remove oils and dirt that flatten the insulation, then tumble dry low to help regain its loft.
Water no longer beads on the surface
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the garment and re-apply a technical DWR spray treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Lifaloft jacket, follow standard care guidelines for synthetic technical apparel. Always wash in cold water using a technical detergent designed for insulated gear; avoid harsh bleaches or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating. Tumble dry on low heat to help restore the loft of the synthetic fibers. If the water-repellency fades, you can re-apply a DWR spray treatment to the exterior fabric. The jacket is designed to layer easily under a larger waterproof hardshell, fitting best when worn over a moisture-wicking base layer.
