FAQs
What is Helly Tech® Performance?
Helly Tech® Performance is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable technology used by Helly Hansen. It is designed to keep you dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside during challenging conditions.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for men's jackets. Consider trying it on with the type of layers you typically wear while sailing to assess freedom of movement.
Is the hood detachable?
The hood is packable and integrated into the collar for quick access but is not designed to be detached.
Can this jacket be used for activities other than sailing?
Yes, while optimized for sailing, its waterproof and breathable features make it suitable for other outdoor activities in wet or windy conditions.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
What does the 'kill cord D-ring' do?
The kill cord D-ring is a safety feature for boats. It allows you to attach your boat's kill cord, which would shut off the engine if you were to fall overboard.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Clean the jacket thoroughly with liquid detergent and consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.
Fit feels restrictive despite correct size.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers. The articulated design is optimized for movement but may feel snug with bulky layers underneath.
