Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Crew Hooded Midlayer Jacket 2.0 is designed for adults seeking a versatile, waterproof, windproof, and breathable jacket suitable for sailing or everyday wear. Its key benefit is providing robust protection in various weather conditions with the comfort of a fleece lining. A potential caveat is that while it functions as an outer layer, its primary design is as a mid-layer, so extreme elements might require additional outer shell protection.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable as a primary outer layer in heavy rain?

The jacket features HELLY TECH® Protection, offering good waterproofing and breathability. However, for sustained heavy rain or severe weather, it is designed to be a versatile mid-layer and may perform best when paired with a dedicated heavy-duty outer shell.

What is the insulation level of this jacket?

The jacket uses Polartec® fleece for primary insulation and polyester insulation in the sleeves. It's designed to provide warmth suitable for cool to moderately cold conditions, often serving as a mid-layer.

Can I wear a thick sweater underneath this jacket?

The jacket has a regular fit and is designed to accommodate a base layer or a light to medium-weight mid-layer. Wearing a very thick sweater might restrict movement; consider sizing up if you plan to layer extensively.

How durable is the YKK® Vislon® zipper?

The YKK® Vislon® zipper is specifically chosen for its sturdiness and resistance to saltwater, making it more durable and corrosion-resistant for marine environments compared to standard zippers.

What materials is the jacket made of?

The jacket features HELLY TECH® Protection, a lining made from Polartec® fleece, and taffeta-lined polyester insulation in the sleeves. The outer shell material is typically polyester.

How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?

The fit can be adjusted using the drawcord at the hem to seal out drafts. The hood also features an adjustable cord for a secure fit.

What is the primary intended use for this jacket?

Originally developed for sailors, it's ideal as a waterproof insulation layer. It's well-suited for sailing, general marine activities, and as a versatile, protective jacket for various outdoor conditions.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper area is clean and free of debris. If saltwater residue is present, gently clean with a damp cloth. Apply a wax-based lubricant or silicone spray specifically designed for zippers.

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and then consider reactivating the DWR by tumble drying on low heat or applying a new DWR spray/wash product as per its instructions.

Fleece lining feels matted or less insulating.

Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can degrade fleece fibers. Brush the fleece gently with a soft brush to help restore its loft. Ensure the jacket is dried properly and not exposed to excessive heat.

Hood is difficult to tuck into the collar.

Ensure the hood is completely dry and neatly folded before attempting to tuck it into the designated collar compartment. Check for any obstructions within the collar.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Helly Hansen Crew Hooded Midlayer Jacket 2.0:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Use a warm or cool water setting (typically 40°C / 104°F). Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's membrane and reduce its performance.
  2. Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not iron.
  4. Re-Waterproofing: Periodically, especially if water is no longer beading on the surface, you may need to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Follow the instructions on the DWR product. This can often be done during the drying cycle in a tumble dryer.
