Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Crew Hooded 2 Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a waterproof, windproof, and breathable mid-layer sailing jacket that can also function as an outer layer. Its key benefit is versatile protection against the elements, derived from its HELLY TECH® protection and Polartec® fleece lining. A potential caveat is its specific design for marine activities, which might influence its suitability for all casual wear scenarios.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed as a waterproof and windproof shell with a fleece lining for insulation. For very cold weather, it is best used as part of a layering system, with additional warm mid-layers underneath.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent in cool water (30-40°C). Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not use fabric softener.

What does HELLY TECH® Protection mean?

HELLY TECH® Protection is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that ensures garments are waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It uses a combination of durable coatings and membranes.

Can I wear this jacket as an outer layer in mild weather?

Yes, its waterproof and windproof features make it suitable as an outer layer in mild, wet, or windy conditions. The breathability helps prevent overheating.

How do I maintain the jacket's water repellency?

Periodically clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment. Water repellency is crucial for the jacket's performance in wet conditions.

What is the main difference between this and a standard rain jacket?

This jacket includes an integrated fleece lining for added insulation and is specifically designed with marine-grade features like a saltwater-resistant zipper, making it more robust for harsh environments than a typical rain jacket.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Helly Hansen Crew Hooded 2 Jacket is available in various colors, including Beige, Grey, White, Black, and Blue, in addition to this Orange variant.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof or water beads poorly

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is properly dried afterward.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and fresh water to remove salt or dirt residue. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable

Ensure the inner garment is not too heavy and that ventilation options (if any) are utilized. Wash the jacket to remove any accumulated body oils or dirt that might be blocking the membrane's pores. Avoid using fabric softeners.

Seams appear to be leaking

Check if the jacket's seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists after cleaning and DWR treatment, contact Helly Hansen customer support as it might indicate a manufacturing defect.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and windproof capabilities.
  • Breathable construction prevents overheating.
  • Warm and comfortable fleece lining.
  • Designed for freedom of movement.
  • Durable and corrosion-resistant zipper.
  • Versatile as a mid-layer or outer layer.

Cons

  • May be overkill for purely casual, non-weather-exposed use.
  • Specific marine-oriented features might not appeal to all users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Helly Hansen Crew Hooded 2 Jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use to maximize weather protection.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a versatile piece compatible with various base and mid-layers. It can be worn as an outer layer in milder conditions or as a protective shell over other insulated garments in colder weather.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash in cool water (30°C or 40°C, depending on manufacturer's tag) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fabric's breathability and water repellency.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
  • Water Repellency Treatment: For best performance, reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the instructions provided with the DWR product.
