Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Lifaloft Hooded Insulator is designed for active women who need reliable warmth during outdoor pursuits like hiking, skiing, and winter trekking. Its primary benefit is the innovative Lifaloft™ insulation, which provides exceptional heat retention without the heavy bulk of traditional insulators, even when exposed to moisture. While it offers excellent versatility, it is best utilized as a layering piece rather than a heavy-duty waterproof shell.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment which helps it shed light rain and snow, but it is not a fully waterproof jacket.
Can I wear this under a ski shell?
Yes, the Lifaloft insulation is specifically designed to be low-bulk, making it an excellent mid-layer for skiing.
Does the insulation stay warm if it gets wet?
Yes, unlike traditional down, Lifaloft™ is designed to maintain its insulating properties even if the garment becomes damp.
How do I pack the jacket?
The jacket features a dedicated folding pocket that allows it to pack down into a compact size for easy storage.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, the jacket is made using recycled content and adheres to strict bluesign® sustainability standards.
How should I clean the jacket?
Use a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low heat.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the fabric surface.
The DWR treatment may have worn off; apply a DWR-refreshing spray to the outer shell according to the product manufacturer's instructions.
Insulation feels slightly clumped after washing.
Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls to help fluff and redistribute the Lifaloft material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this jacket is designed as an insulator, it is compatible with most standard outdoor shells. To ensure longevity, always follow the garment's specific care label. Generally, wash in a front-load washing machine using a mild detergent, and avoid using fabric softeners which can degrade the DWR coating. For the best performance, tumble dry on a low setting or hang to air dry. Ensure the adjustable hem is fully loosened before putting it on to prevent unnecessary strain on the elastic cord.
