FAQs
What makes this jacket waterproof and windproof?
The jacket utilizes Helly Tech® Protection, a technology that creates a waterproof, windproof, and breathable barrier. It also features fully sealed seams and a Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatment.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is insulated for warmth, but it is primarily designed as a protective outer layer. For extremely cold conditions, layering with a warm mid-layer and base layer is recommended.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Reapply DWR periodically.
Is the hood removable?
The hood is not removable, but it is packable and can be stowed away in the collar when not needed.
What type of zipper does it use?
It features a center front YKK® Vislon® zipper, which is designed to be more resistant to saltwater corrosion.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Adjust the drawstring at the hem and the hood for a snug fit. The cuffs are also adjustable to seal out drafts.
What is the material composition?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester for both the shell and the lining.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
The Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper with a soft brush and water to remove salt or debris. Avoid using excessive force. Lubricate with a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Jacket feels less breathable.
The jacket's membrane may be clogged. Wash the jacket using a technical fabric cleaner and ensure it is thoroughly rinsed.
Hood is not staying in place.
Adjust the drawstring at the hood opening to secure it more tightly around your head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup. Its primary function is to provide weather protection. Ensure all zippers are fully closed and adjust the hem and hood drawstrings for a snug fit before heading out. The jacket is compatible with most base layers and mid-layers for added warmth. For care, it is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the DWR treatment and waterproof/breathable membrane. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Reapply DWR treatment periodically, following product instructions, to maintain optimal water repellency. Ensure seams are fully sealed by checking them regularly.
