Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Frogner Jacket is an ideal choice for urban professionals and outdoor commuters who need reliable, high-performance protection against unpredictable weather. By combining HELLY TECH Performance technology with PrimaLoft BLACK Eco insulation, this jacket provides an excellent balance of warmth, breathability, and total waterproof protection. While it offers superior comfort for daily use, users should note that its heavy-duty construction makes it better suited for colder, wet climates rather than mild, high-activity summer pursuits.

Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric surface

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Helly Hansen Frogner Jacket remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the breathable membrane.
- DWR Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, use a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore the coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the longevity of the synthetic insulation and sealed seams. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew and maintain the shape of the hood and collar.
