FAQs

What is HELLY TECH® PROTECTION?

HELLY TECH® PROTECTION is a technology that makes the garment waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It uses a membrane or coating to block water and wind from the outside while allowing sweat vapor to escape from the inside.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash warm (40°C) on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat. A DWR re-proofer can be applied after washing to restore water repellency.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed as a waterproof shell. While it offers protection from wind and rain, it has minimal insulation. For very cold weather, layering with insulated garments underneath is recommended.

What does 'boxy fit' mean?

A boxy fit is a looser, more square-shaped cut that is not tapered at the waist. It allows for more room for movement and layering but may appear less fitted than a regular or slim cut.

Can I machine dry the jacket?

Yes, you can tumble dry the jacket on low heat. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the waterproof membrane or DWR coating.

What type of zipper is used?

The jacket features YKK® zippers, known for their durability and reliability.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features multiple pockets, including hand pockets with secure zips, double-entry hand pockets, and a chest pocket with a snap button.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof or water is soaking into the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a DWR re-proofer. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing, as this can impede DWR performance.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth) or a specialized zipper lubricant for smoother operation.

Hood adjustment is not holding.

Check the drawcord and its toggles for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the toggles are fully secured.

Inner fabric feels clammy despite being waterproof.

This can occur if the garment's breathability is overwhelmed by high exertion or high humidity. Ensure outer vents (if any) are open and consider that maximum breathability has its limits. Washing can also help restore breathability if it's been compromised by dirt or oils.
