FAQs
What is the waterproof and breathability rating?
The Helly Hansen Workwear UC-ME Winter Suit has a waterproof rating of 10,000mm and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24h.
Can I wear a hard hat with the hood?
Yes, the hood is designed to be detachable and helmet-compatible, allowing you to wear it over a safety helmet or hard hat.
How many times should I machine wash this suit?
The care instructions recommend a maximum of 20 washes in lukewarm water (40°C max) to maintain the fabric's performance and durability.
What does EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3 mean?
This certification indicates the highest level of visibility. Class 3 is the highest rating for high-visibility clothing, ensuring maximum conspicuity in daylight, dusk, and night conditions.
Is this suit suitable for extreme cold?
The suit is heavily insulated and designed for harsh conditions. Its EN 342:2017 certification for cold protection (Icler 0,330 m²K/W) suggests it is well-suited for very cold environments, but layering may be necessary for extreme temperatures.
What certifications does this suit have?
The suit is certified to EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3 (high visibility), EN 343:2019 Class 3,1 (protection against rain), and EN 342:2017 (protection against cold).
Does the suit have reflective elements?
As it is certified to EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3, it includes high-visibility materials and likely reflective strips to ensure you are seen in low-light conditions. Specific placement is part of the certification standard.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels too restrictive
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. The suit is designed for mobility, so significant restriction may indicate incorrect sizing or over-layering. Adjust the elastic waist and cuffs for a better fit.
Water ingress despite waterproof rating
Check that all zippers are fully closed and storm flaps are properly aligned. Inspect seams for any damage. Ensure the DWR treatment is still effective; reapplication might be needed after many washes, following manufacturer guidelines.
Suit feels clammy or too warm
Open the front zipper slightly or use the side zippers (if applicable on other models) for ventilation. Ensure the breathability is not compromised by internal moisture from excessive sweating; consider lighter base layers if necessary.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently work the zipper back and forth. Clean any debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
