Product Information

Full details

This guide is for adult men seeking a versatile, waterproof, and windproof jacket suitable for sailing and everyday wear. The key benefit is its dual functionality as an insulated midlayer or a protective outer layer, offering excellent weather resistance and comfort. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it is primarily designed as a midlayer, so for extreme downpours, additional outer shell protection might be considered. Key features include Helly Tech® Protection for waterproofing and breathability, a Polartec® fleece lining for warmth, and a packable hood for convenience.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features HELLY TECH® Protection, making it waterproof and windproof. While it offers good protection for moderate to light rain and spray, for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, it is best used as a midlayer with a dedicated waterproof outer shell.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for men's apparel. Measure your chest, waist, and inseam and compare them to the chart. The jacket is designed for a regular fit, allowing for layering.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

Yes, the Polartec® fleece lining provides significant insulation, making it warm for cold conditions. It can be worn on its own in milder cold or layered with additional insulation for extreme cold.

How should I care for the Helly Tech® fabric?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat drying or ironing. Reapply DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.

What is the advantage of the articulated elbows and shoulders?

This design feature allows for greater freedom of movement, making it easier to perform tasks that require reaching or bending, such as on a sailboat or during active outdoor pursuits.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the jacket includes an adjustable drawcord inside the hood to help customize the fit and provide better protection against the elements.

What materials are used in the jacket?

The jacket features Helly Tech® Protection, Polartec® fleece lining, and taffeta in the sleeves. The main shell is typically polyester.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free from debris. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a silicone spray specifically designed for zippers.

Jacket is no longer waterproof/windproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.

Fleece lining feels damp after washing

Ensure the jacket is properly dried. Tumble dry on low heat with a dryer ball to help restore loft and ensure even drying, or hang dry in a well-ventilated area.

Drawcord at hem is stuck

Check the cord channel for any obstructions. Gently pull and twist the cord to loosen it. Ensure the toggles are clean and functioning.
