Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Helly Tech membrane, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a mild detergent and machine wash on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical membrane.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the DWR treatment. If the water stops beading on the surface, it is time to re-apply a DWR spray treatment.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in a stuff sack for long periods to prevent material creasing and stress.
- Compatibility: The jacket is designed to be worn as an outer layer. For colder climates, it is best paired with a technical base layer or a lightweight fleece mid-layer underneath for efficient layering.
