FAQs
What makes this jacket waterproof and breathable?
The jacket uses Helly Tech® Protection, a 2-layer fabric construction that is waterproof, windproof, and breathable. This technology allows water vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside while preventing liquid water from entering from the outside.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket itself provides wind and water protection. The brushed fleece collar and hand pockets add some warmth, but for very cold conditions, it is designed to be layered over warmer mid-layers like fleece or down.
How do I care for the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish?
The DWR finish can wear off over time. To maintain it, wash the jacket according to instructions and periodically reapply a DWR treatment, available from outdoor gear specialists.
Can I wear this jacket for activities other than sailing?
Yes, absolutely. Its versatile design and weather protection make it suitable for a wide range of activities including hiking, commuting, and general outdoor wear in wet or windy conditions.
What is the fit like?
The jacket has a regular fit, providing a comfortable balance between roominess for layering and a streamlined profile. It is not intended to be a tight-fitting or a very loose, oversized jacket.
Is the hood stowable?
This specific model description does not mention a stowable hood. Please refer to the product imagery or specific details if a hood is a key feature you require.
What material is the main body of the jacket made from?
The main body is made from Polyester, featuring Helly Tech® Protection fabric.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof/water repellent
Clean the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions. Apply a DWR treatment to restore water repellency. Ensure no fabric softener or harsh detergents were used in previous washes.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth and work the zipper back and forth.
Reduced breathability
Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Wash using a technical fabric cleaner and avoid fabric softeners.
Fleece lining feels rough after washing
This is uncommon. Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and appropriate detergent. Avoid high heat drying.
