Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric

The outer fabric may need a refresh. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the protective treatment.

Condensation building up inside the jacket

This is often a result of over-layering or lack of airflow. Open the underarm vents and remove an insulating layer to allow moisture vapor to escape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Helly Hansen jacket, proper maintenance is essential. Always close all zippers and secure Velcro tabs before washing to prevent snagging. Use a mild technical detergent specifically formulated for waterproof garments, and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the membrane and compromise breathability. The jacket is designed to be compatible with a wide range of mid-layers; for best results, pair with synthetic or down insulation layers depending on your specific mountain activity. To maintain the water-repellent finish, occasionally tumble dry the jacket on a low setting, as the heat helps reactivate the performance properties of the fabric.
