FAQs

Is the Crew Midlayer 2.0 waterproof?

Yes, it is constructed with HELLY TECH Protection technology, which provides fully waterproof and windproof performance.

Can I have my company or team logo embroidered on this jacket?

Yes, the jacket features a secret internal zipper specifically designed to allow access for professional embroidery without damaging the waterproof membrane.

Does this jacket have a hood?

The Midlayer 2.0 model focuses on a sleek design and does not feature a hood; if you require a hood, look for the Crew Hooded Sailing Jacket 2.0 version.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle using technical detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the DWR finish.

What is the benefit of the Polartec fleece?

Polartec fleece is lightweight, breathable, and provides superior warmth, making it ideal for maintaining body temperature in wet or windy environments.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak through the outer layer

The DWR treatment may be worn off; clean the garment and apply a high-quality technical DWR restorative spray.

Zipper feels stiff or sticky

Clean the YKK zipper tracks with a soft brush to remove salt or grit, then lubricate lightly with a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Moisture buildup inside the jacket

Ensure you are not over-layering; the jacket is breathable, but significant sweat buildup can occur if the internal layers do not wick moisture effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Helly Hansen jacket, it is essential to follow standard care protocols. The garment features an adjustable hem and cuffs; ensure these are snug but comfortable to seal out moisture effectively. For cleaning, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent—avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the waterproof and breathable membranes. Periodically reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray will help maintain the jacket's ability to shed water. Always store the jacket by hanging it on a sturdy hanger using the dedicated external or internal loops to help retain the jacket's shape and prevent moisture buildup.
