FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Koster Rain Jacket is designed for protection against rain and wind in milder, changeable weather, typically spring and summer. It is not insulated and is best layered over other clothing for warmth.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Machine wash in cold water (30°C) on a gentle cycle with zippers closed and similar colors. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. It's recommended to use a specialized technical wash for outdoor gear.

Can I wear a fleece jacket underneath?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be layered. You can wear a fleece or other insulating layers underneath for added warmth in cooler temperatures.

What does 'Helly Tech® Performance' mean?

Helly Tech® Performance is a technology that provides a waterproof and breathable outer layer, ensuring you stay dry from the elements while allowing moisture vapor from your body to escape.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zippered to help keep your belongings dry from rain, but the primary waterproof protection comes from the jacket's fabric and seam sealing.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Please refer to the Helly Hansen website or the product packaging for specific warranty information, as this can vary by region and retailer.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the fabric.

Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is active. If not, it may need reapplication. Check that all seams are sealed and the fabric isn't damaged.

Jacket feels less breathable.

The jacket's membranes might be clogged. Wash according to care instructions using a specialized technical wash. Ensure the jacket is clean from dirt and oils.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a small amount of petroleum jelly to the teeth.
