Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Positano Light Jacket is designed for active women who need a versatile, lightweight outer layer for mild but unpredictable weather. It offers excellent wind and water protection through its DWR-treated fabric, making it a perfect companion for breezy spring outings or summer day trips. While it is highly packable and comfortable, users should note that it is designed specifically as a light shell rather than a heavy-duty waterproof rain jacket, meaning it is best suited for light showers rather than sustained downpours.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, it is a lightweight shell with a DWR treatment designed to resist light rain and wind, not a fully seam-sealed waterproof jacket.

How much does the jacket weigh?

The jacket weighs approximately 375 grams.

Can I wear this in the winter?

It is designed as a spring and summer layer. It provides little thermal insulation, so it should be used over base or mid-layers if temperatures are low.

What does bluesign certified mean?

It means the jacket was produced using methods that reduce environmental impact throughout the entire manufacturing process.

How should I clean the jacket?

Use a gentle machine wash cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and use a low-heat tumble dry to maintain the water-repellent finish.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the treatment, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.

Zipper feels stiff or sticks

Check the zipper track for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Clean the teeth gently with a soft brush and consider using a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is a straightforward pull-on shell. To maintain the effectiveness of the DWR coating, ensure you do not use fabric softeners when washing. The jacket is machine washable; however, it is recommended to wash it on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. For optimal care, occasionally tumble dry on a low heat setting, as the heat helps reactivate the water-repellent properties of the fabric. Always store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use, and avoid leaving it wadded up in a wet bag for long periods to prevent fabric degradation.
