Troubleshooting
Water-repellency seems to be wearing off
After washing and drying, the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish can sometimes be reactivated with low heat; check the garment tag for safe tumble drying instructions or consider a technical re-proofing spray.
Zipper feels stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track; you can occasionally rub a small amount of paraffin wax or specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to improve smoothness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Helly Hansen jacket, always follow the care label instructions sewn into the garment. When cleaning, machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle and mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners which can compromise the water-repellent coating. It is recommended to zip all zippers before washing to prevent snagging. For storage, use the internal hanging loop on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain the jacket's shape. Due to its minimalist design, this jacket is highly compatible with casual wear, such as denim or chinos, and fits well under heavier outer layers if necessary during colder months.
