FAQs

What makes the Helly Tech® Performance technology effective?

Helly Tech® Performance combines a waterproof and windproof outer membrane with a breathable layer. This allows water vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside while preventing external water and wind from penetrating, keeping you dry and comfortable.

How does the articulated sleeve construction improve movement?

Articulated sleeves are designed with pre-shaped joints, particularly at the elbow, and are cut to allow for a greater range of motion. This means you can raise your arms or twist your torso with less resistance from the jacket fabric.

Can I wear a life jacket over this jacket?

Yes, the jacket is designed with improved freedom of movement and less restriction, making it suitable for wearing with a life jacket during maritime activities.

What is the purpose of the kill cord D ring?

The kill cord D ring is a safety feature typically used on boats. It allows you to attach your engine's kill cord, which will shut off the engine if the operator falls overboard.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for men's apparel. Measure your chest, waist, and inseam and compare them to the chart. Consider if you plan to wear multiple layers underneath.

Is the hood detachable?

The hood is packable and designed to be stowed away within the collar, but it is not detachable.

How often should I reapply DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and washing habits. Generally, reapply DWR when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface. Typically, this is after several washes or significant wear.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading on the surface

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need to be reapplied. Follow the care instructions for DWR reapplication.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside

Ensure all vents are open if applicable. Check that the inside of the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. Wash according to care instructions.
