Product Information

Full details

This Helly Hansen Koster Rain Jacket in Pink (Size L) is designed for adult women facing unpredictable spring and summer weather. Its key benefit is providing waterproof and breathable protection, drawing inspiration from technical sailing gear. A potential caveat is that while lightweight, it is primarily for rain and changeable weather, not extreme cold. Key features include Helly Tech® Performance, a fully seam-sealed 2-layer design, an adjustable hood, elastic cuffs, and zippered hand pockets.

FAQs

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

The Koster Rain Jacket is designed for spring and summer weather and is primarily for rain protection. It is lightweight and best suited for layering over other garments for warmth, rather than as a standalone winter coat.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent or technical wash. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

What does 'Helly Tech® Performance' mean?

Helly Tech® Performance is Helly Hansen's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology, designed to keep you dry and comfortable in various weather conditions.

Can I wear this jacket for intense physical activity?

Yes, the jacket's waterproof and breathable Helly Tech® Performance material makes it suitable for moderate to high-intensity activities in wet weather, helping to manage moisture.

How do I adjust the hood and hem?

The hood typically has a drawcord that can be tightened or loosened to fit your head. The bottom hem also has an adjustable drawcord to cinch it for a snugger fit and to keep out wind and rain.

What is the purpose of the zippered hand pockets?

The zippered hand pockets are designed to securely store small personal items like keys, a phone, or a wallet, protecting them from rain and preventing them from falling out.

What other colors and sizes are available?

The Koster Rain Jacket is available in various colors including White, Beige, Yellow, Blue, and Red, and in a range of sizes from XS to XL. Please check the product listings for specific availability.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

Ensure the jacket is clean. Wash according to care instructions, then consider reapplying a DWR treatment to restore water repellency.

Zipper is sticking

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly and try a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant on the teeth.

Seams appear to be leaking

Check if the seam sealant is intact. If damaged, professional repair might be needed. Ensure all care instructions were followed to maintain seam integrity.

Hood adjustment is difficult

Ensure the drawcords are not tangled. Adjust slowly and evenly on both sides for a smooth tightening or loosening process.
