FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The jacket provides windproof and waterproof protection, but it is not heavily insulated. For cold winter conditions, layering with warm mid-layers and base layers is recommended.
How do I clean the Helly Tech® fabric?
Machine wash warm (40°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat.
Can I iron this jacket?
No, ironing is not recommended as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR coating. If needed, a very low-heat tumble dry is preferable.
What does 'Helly Tech® Protection' mean?
It signifies a durable outer membrane that provides a waterproof, windproof, and breathable barrier against the elements.
How do I reapply the DWR finish?
After washing and drying, use a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. This restores the water-repellent properties of the outer fabric.
What is the benefit of the YKK® Vislon® zipper?
This type of zipper is known for its durability and resistance to saltwater corrosion, which is essential for marine environments.
Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through the fabric
Ensure the DWR coating is intact. If worn, wash the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment. Check all seams and zippers for damage.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur if the breathability is compromised or during heavy exertion. Ensure the internal garment is also breathable and consider washing the jacket to clear any membrane blockages.
Zipper is stiff or corroded
Clean the zipper with fresh water and a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers if necessary.
