FAQs
What is Helly Tech® Performance?
Helly Tech® Performance is a technology that ensures garments are both durably waterproof and windproof, and highly breathable. It's designed for a wide range of outdoor activities in demanding conditions.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash warm (40°C) using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Can I wear a life jacket under this jacket?
Yes, the articulated sleeve construction is specifically designed to offer freedom of movement and reduce restriction when wearing a life jacket.
What is the purpose of the kill cord D-ring?
The D-ring is a safety feature typically used in boating to attach a kill cord, which stops the engine if the operator falls overboard.
Is the hood detachable?
The hood is packable, meaning it can be folded and stored within the collar, but it is not detachable.
What does 'double entry hand pockets' mean?
This refers to pockets that can be accessed from two directions, offering more flexibility and comfort for hand warming or storing items.
What type of collar does this jacket have?
The jacket features a brushed tricot collar, which is softer against the skin for increased comfort.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a toothbrush and warm water. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels clammy inside
Ensure all vents are open and that the garment is not being worn over non-breathable layers. Check that the internal fabric is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.
