FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This is a waterproof shell, not an insulated parka. It is best used as an outer layer over warm mid-layers like fleece or sweaters.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener, and tumble dry on low to reactivate the water-repellent coating.
Does the hood detach?
Yes, the hood is removable, allowing for versatility depending on the weather conditions.
Is the jacket breathable?
Yes, it utilizes Helly Tech Performance technology, which is designed to let moisture vapor escape during active play.
Are there reflective elements for safety?
Yes, the jacket features integrated reflective details and high-visibility strips to help with visibility in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate, or apply a spray-on DWR replenishment product.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to pull.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it remains stiff, gently clean the zipper teeth with a toothbrush to remove debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Helly Tech Performance membrane, wash the jacket in cold water using a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the breathable membrane. It is recommended to tumble dry on low heat or hang dry; the low heat from a dryer can actually help reactivate the DWR finish. The regular fit is compatible with most standard fleece and knit mid-layers, providing enough room for freedom of movement.
