How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Helly Hansen size chart available on the product page or official website. Measure your chest and waist and compare with the chart. This specific model is designed for men.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket in cold water (30°C) on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and high heat drying or ironing.
Is the red color true to the image?
Color representation can vary slightly due to screen settings. However, the jacket is designed to be a vibrant red as typically depicted.
What is the main advantage of the YKK® Vislon® zipper?
The YKK® Vislon® zipper is constructed with larger, molded plastic teeth that are more resistant to corrosion from saltwater compared to standard metal zippers.
Can the hood be removed?
The hood is designed to be packable within the collar and is not intended for removal.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and fresh water to remove any salt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or beeswax sparingly to the zipper teeth.
Reduced breathability or clammy feel inside.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the membrane. Wash according to care instructions. Ensure any inner layers are also moisture-wicking.
Hood is difficult to pack into the collar.
Ensure the hood is completely dry and folded neatly before attempting to store it in the collar. The collar's design might require a specific folding technique.
