FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter sports?
The Vika Jacket is designed for urban use and everyday wear. It is not intended for technical alpine activities or extreme winter sports.
Does it have a hood?
No, the Vika Jacket features a classic bomber silhouette without an attached hood.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
Yes, the Helly Tech Protection technology is designed to be waterproof, though it is best suited for moderate to heavy rain conditions common in urban settings.
How should I clean the jacket?
Wash on a gentle cycle with a technical cleaner, avoid fabric softeners, and air dry to maintain the fabric properties.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the 2-layer construction is engineered to allow moisture vapor to escape, keeping you dry from both outside rain and internal sweat.
Does the sizing run true to fit?
The jacket generally follows standard adult sizing. Refer to the size guide for specific measurements if you are between sizes.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the outer layer
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reactivating. Wash the garment and tumble dry on a low heat setting to restore performance.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate
Clean any debris or grit from the zipper track and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite if necessary.
The fabric looks dull after washing
Ensure you are using a dedicated technical wash. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue, which can cause the fabric to appear muted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the Helly Tech Protection membrane, it is essential to follow care instructions closely. Machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle using a mild technical garment detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the waterproof coating from the polyester fabric. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape and the premium sheen of the outer material. If the jacket is exposed to heavy salt or mud, wipe it down with a damp cloth promptly to prevent fabric degradation.
