Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Escape Rain Jacket is designed for adult men who need a reliable, stylish outer layer for daily urban commuting and wet-weather outings. Featuring proprietary Helly Tech Protection technology, it offers an excellent balance of waterproof performance and breathability. While it excels at keeping you dry during heavy rain, users should note that as a 2-layer jacket, it is intended primarily as a protective shell rather than a heavy insulating winter coat.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the Helly Tech Protection technology is designed to be fully windproof as well as waterproof.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is integrated into the jacket design to ensure maximum seal against rain and wind.
Can I wear this for hiking?
While designed for urban use, its waterproof and breathable capabilities make it suitable for light hiking and trail walking.
What does bluesign approved mean?
It means the materials were produced in a way that minimizes environmental impact and ensures worker safety throughout the supply chain.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Always consult the internal care label for specific temperature settings.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric rather than beading up
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and reapply a DWR spray treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate
Check the zipper track for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Gently clean with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if necessary.
Feeling damp inside despite no leaks
This is often caused by trapped perspiration. Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable cotton layers underneath; opt for moisture-wicking synthetic or wool fabrics instead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Helly Hansen Escape Rain Jacket, keep the following in mind:
- Fit: The jacket is designed with a standard fit; if you plan to wear thick layers underneath, ensure you account for this when selecting your size.
- Cleaning: To maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for outdoor gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can strip the waterproof membrane of its breathability.
- Drying: Line dry whenever possible. If the jacket loses its water-shedding properties over time, tumble dry on low heat or use a low-heat iron to reactivate the DWR finish, provided the care label allows it.
- Storage: Use the internal suspension loop to hang the jacket in a cool, dry place after use to ensure it dries completely before being stored in a closet.
