Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen 72065 Manchester Zip In Fleece Jacket is designed for adults seeking versatile warmth and layering options, particularly for cool environments. Its primary benefit is its ability to function as a standalone fleece or zip into compatible Helly Hansen shell jackets for enhanced protection. A potential consideration is its certification for cool environments, meaning it may not provide sufficient warmth in extreme cold without additional layers.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Helly Hansen 72065 Manchester Zip In Fleece Jacket?

Its main purpose is to provide warmth as a standalone piece or to serve as an insulating inner layer that can be zipped into specific Helly Hansen outer jackets for enhanced protection against cooler weather.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?

While it offers good warmth for cool environments and can be layered, it is certified for EN ISO 14058 (protection against cool environments). For extreme cold, it is recommended to use it as a mid-layer with a suitable outer shell and base layers.

What specific jackets can this fleece zip into?

This fleece is designed to zip into the Helly Hansen Haag 71050 Jacket, Haag 71052 Parka, and Potsdam 71381 High-Visibility Jacket.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made of 100% Polyester fleece, weighing 320 g/m².

How should I clean and maintain the jacket?

Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C), do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, do not iron, and do not dry clean.

Does the jacket have secure pockets?

Yes, it features hand pockets equipped with YKK® zippers to keep your belongings secure.

What does 'Optional zip-in inner jacket' mean?

It means the fleece is designed with a zipper system that allows it to be attached to the inside of specific outer jackets, creating a combined garment with enhanced warmth and protection.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is too warm for current conditions.

Wear the jacket open, or remove it and store it in a backpack. Its zip-in feature also allows for easy removal when needed.

Zipper is difficult to engage or disengage.

Ensure the zippers on both the fleece and the compatible shell jacket are clean and free of debris. Gently align the zippers before attempting to zip or unzip. Do not force the zipper.

Fleece material feels less soft after washing.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding water temperature and avoiding bleach. Using a small amount of fabric softener in the final rinse cycle (if compatible with your machine and water type) might help restore some softness, but avoid excessive use.

Jacket does not zip into a compatible shell.

Verify that you are using one of the specifically listed compatible Helly Hansen shell jackets. Check for any damage to the zipper teeth on both garments. Ensure the fleece is correctly oriented within the shell.
