FAQs

What is Helly Tech® Protection?

Helly Tech® Protection is a technology that makes the garment waterproof and windproof while also being breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape from the inside.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash in warm water (40°C) with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat. Do not use fabric softener or dry clean.

What does 'boxy fit' mean?

A boxy fit is a more relaxed, straight cut that is not tailored or fitted to the body. It allows for more room and easier layering.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be layered. You can wear it over warmer clothing like fleeces or sweaters for insulation in colder conditions.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are designed to protect contents from rain, but submersion in water is not recommended. The hand pockets feature secure zips for added protection.

How do I reapply the water-repellent finish?

You can use commercially available DWR sprays or wash-in treatments. Follow the instructions on the DWR product for application, which typically involves washing the jacket and then applying the treatment before drying.

What type of zipper is used?

The jacket features a YKK® Zip, known for its quality and durability.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the jacket

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the storm flap is secured. Check if the DWR coating needs to be reapplied. Clean the jacket according to care instructions.

Zipper is difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Hood adjustment is not secure

Ensure the drawcords for the hood are tightened properly. Check for any damage to the cord or toggles.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can occur in very humid conditions or during intense activity. Ensure the main zipper is slightly unzipped for ventilation. The breathable technology works best when there is a temperature difference between the inside and outside.
