FAQs
What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?
The jacket is designed for versatility, excelling in sailing and other watersports due to its waterproof and windproof features. It's also suitable for hiking, commuting, and general outdoor use in inclement weather, as well as casual wear.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The jacket provides windproof and waterproof protection with some warmth from its fleece collar and pockets. For very cold winter conditions, it is best used as an outer shell layer over insulating mid-layers.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash warm (40°C) on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat drying. Iron on a low setting if needed.
Can I put patches or logos on this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be compatible with embroidery, making it suitable for adding custom logos or team branding.
What does Helly Tech® Protection mean?
Helly Tech® Protection is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that ensures a garment is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, keeping you dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.
How do I ensure a good fit?
The jacket features adjustable cuffs and a drawcord hem, allowing you to customize the fit. Check the size guide for specific measurements, and consider your preferred layering strategy when choosing your size.
What is the purpose of the taffeta lining in the sleeves?
The taffeta lining in the sleeves is specifically included to allow the jacket to slide on and off easily over other clothing layers, preventing snagging and improving comfort when putting on or removing the jacket.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may need to be reapplied. Clean the jacket thoroughly and follow the instructions on a DWR re-proofing product.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and water. Apply a wax-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
Interior feels damp despite being waterproof
Ensure the jacket is zipped up completely and cuffs/hem are adjusted to prevent drafts. The feeling might be due to sweat evaporation; ensure good ventilation by unzipping if possible, or consider wearing a more breathable base layer.
Fleece collar or pockets feel matted
Gently brush the fleece with a soft brush after washing and drying. Avoid high heat during drying, which can damage fleece fibers.
