FAQs

What is Polartec Recycled fleece?

Polartec Recycled fleece is a high-performance fabric made from post-consumer recycled polyester, offering warmth, breathability, and durability while reducing environmental impact.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability and can serve as a mid-layer under waterproof outerwear.

How do I determine the best size?

Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for accurate measurements. The XXXL size is intended for adults with specific chest, waist, and hip measurements.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

This jacket provides good warmth as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over a base layer and under a heavier insulated or waterproof outer shell.

How often should I wash the jacket?

Wash the jacket as needed. Over-washing can sometimes reduce the lifespan of fleece; however, following the care instructions will help maintain its quality.

What does EN 14058 Class 1 certification mean?

EN 14058 is a European standard for protective clothing against cool environments. Class 1 indicates a specific level of performance within that standard, typically relating to thermal insulation.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Fleece appears matted or has lost its softness

Ensure the jacket has been washed according to care instructions, avoiding high heat in the dryer. Consider a gentle tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help restore loft, or air dry away from direct heat sources.

Seams are unraveling

Contact Helly Hansen customer support for warranty information or repair options. Minor unraveling might be carefully mended by a professional tailor.
