FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
No, this is a softshell jacket designed for water resistance. It will keep you dry in light moisture but is not a substitute for a hardshell in heavy rain.
Can I wear this for winter sports?
Yes, it is excellent for high-output winter activities where breathability is needed, though you may need a hard outer shell if conditions become extreme.
What does bluesign approved mean?
It means the textile manufacturing process meets strict environmental, health, and safety standards to reduce the impact on both people and the planet.
Does it have a PFC-free coating?
Yes, the jacket utilizes a PFC-free water-repellent treatment, making it a more environmentally friendly choice compared to traditional treatments.
How should I wash this garment?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
Is the hood adjustable?
The jacket features a fixed hood designed for a close, protective fit during movement.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the fabric surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Fabric feels damp during light rain
Ensure the jacket is not saturated. If the internal fleece feels cold, it may be time to re-waterproof the exterior shell.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity and performance of your Helly Hansen Paramount jacket, proper care is essential. Always consult the care label inside the garment before washing. Typically, it is recommended to machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild technical detergent to preserve the water-repellent coating. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce breathability. To reactivate the water-repellent finish after washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting or use a cool iron; the heat helps align the DWR polymers. Always store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
