FAQs
What is Helly Tech® Performance?
Helly Tech® Performance is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof and breathable barrier, designed for the most demanding outdoor activities and conditions.
How does the articulated sleeve construction improve movement?
It means the sleeves are pre-shaped and cut to allow your arms to move more freely without pulling the jacket or restricting motion, especially important during active tasks like sailing.
Is the hood adjustable?
The jacket features a packable, neon hood designed for quick deployment and visibility. While specific adjustment details may vary, hoods on such jackets are typically designed for a secure fit.
What is the purpose of the kill cord D-ring?
The kill cord D-ring is a safety feature common on boats, used to attach the engine's kill cord. If the skipper falls overboard, the cord pulls out, stopping the engine.
Can this jacket be worn in warm weather?
While breathable, the jacket is designed for protection against water and wind. It may be too warm for strenuous activity in high temperatures. Layering can help adapt to cooler conditions.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash warm with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry. Do not dry clean.
What sizes and colors are available?
The Helly Hansen Pier 4.0 Jacket is available in various sizes (e.g., L, XXL) and colors including Orange, Blue, Grey, and Brown. Specific availability may depend on the retailer.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof/water-repellent.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently apply a wax-based lubricant (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth.
Hood is difficult to pack or deploy.
Ensure the hood is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Check for any obstructions in the zipper or collar channel.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Inspect seams for damage. If damage is minor, a seam sealer might provide a temporary fix. For significant damage, professional repair may be needed.
