FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?

The Koster Rain Jacket is designed for unpredictable spring and summer weather and offers waterproof and breathable protection. It is lightweight and may not provide sufficient warmth for cold temperatures. Layering with warmer clothing underneath is recommended for cooler conditions.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.

What does Helly Tech® Performance mean?

Helly Tech® Performance is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof and breathable barrier, ensuring you stay dry from the elements while allowing moisture vapor to escape from the inside.

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a cold, gentle cycle. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.

How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and care. Re-apply the DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading up and rolling off the fabric surface.

What sizes and colors are available?

This jacket is available in various sizes and colors, including Pink, White, Beige, Yellow, Blue, and Red. Please check the product listing for current availability.

Are the hand pockets waterproof?

The hand pockets are zippered for security. While the zippers offer protection, the pockets themselves are not fully waterproof sealed like the main jacket seams, so it's best to keep electronics in a waterproof pouch if heavy rain is expected.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Check if the seams are fully sealed. If the DWR finish has worn off, reapply a DWR treatment. Ensure zippers are fully closed.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean and that vents (if any) are open. Consider washing with a specialized technical cleaner.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no assembly upon arrival. It is designed for immediate use. For best results and longevity, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the waterproof membrane.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
  4. Re-waterproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions when water no longer beads on the fabric surface.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in plastic bags for extended periods.
