Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the fabric surface
The DWR finish may be worn out. Wash the vest to remove dirt and oils, then re-apply a technical DWR spray specifically designed for synthetic softshells.
Garment feels damp after light rain
Ensure the vest is not fully saturated and check for dirt buildup in the fabric pores which can hinder breathability; wash according to care instructions to restore performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you select the correct size by referencing the Helly Hansen sizing guide to allow for comfortable layering underneath. To maintain the life and functionality of the garment, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the DWR treatment. Hang-dry the vest to preserve the polyester fibers and the water-repellent coating. Periodically re-apply a DWR-safe spray if water stops beading on the surface after extensive use.
