FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?

Can I wear this for high-intensity activities?
Yes, the Helly Tech® Performance technology provides breathability suitable for moderate to high-intensity activities, helping to manage moisture during exertion.
What does 'fully seam-sealed' mean?

How should I clean the jacket?

Does the hood offer adjustable fit?
Yes, the hood is adjustable to provide a snug and customized fit to protect against wind and rain.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The hand pockets are zippered, designed to keep your essentials protected from rain and moisture. It is still advisable to use waterproof bags for highly sensitive items.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. Check if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating needs refreshing. Wash according to care instructions and consider reapplying a DWR treatment if performance degrades.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of wax to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Breathability seems reduced
Clean the jacket using the recommended care instructions to remove any dirt or residue that might be blocking the membrane pores. Ensure inner layers are not trapping excessive moisture.
