FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is designed for waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection. For very cold conditions, layering with a warm mid-layer (like fleece or down) and a thermal base layer is recommended.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle using liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
What does Helly Tech® Protection mean?
Helly Tech® Protection is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that makes a garment waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It ensures you stay dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.
Can the hood be removed?
The hood is designed to be packable within the collar and is not removable.
Is this jacket suitable for everyday casual wear?
Yes, the refined design and clean look make it suitable for casual wear, especially in inclement weather, in addition to its performance use for sailing and outdoor activities.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the official Helly Hansen website or your point of purchase for specific warranty details, as these can vary by region and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water effectively
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate the existing DWR. If performance does not improve, consider applying a new DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry. Lubricate the zipper track with a silicone-based lubricant or beeswax.
Jacket feels clammy inside, even though it's not raining
This could be due to internal moisture buildup. Ensure the main zipper is only partially closed or open for ventilation if the weather permits. The jacket is breathable, but in very high humidity or during intense physical activity, some moisture buildup is normal. Ensure base layers are also moisture-wicking.
