Full details
The Helly Hansen Crew Hooded Jacket 2.0 is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from the elements during sailing or outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is offering waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance through HELLY TECH® protection, ensuring comfort in challenging conditions. A potential caveat is that while highly functional, its streamlined design might be less accommodating for layering in extremely cold weather without additional insulation.

FAQs
What is HELLY TECH® protection?
HELLY TECH® protection is a proprietary technology from Helly Hansen that creates a waterproof, windproof, and breathable barrier. It ensures that outer garments protect you from the elements while allowing moisture vapor to escape from the inside, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and water. For very cold temperatures, it is recommended to layer the jacket over warm base layers and insulating mid-layers. It is not designed as a standalone insulated winter jacket.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash in warm water (40°C) with a mild detergent and half dose. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat. Reapply a DWR treatment after washing for optimal water repellency.
Can I put this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket is machine washable following the specific temperature and detergent guidelines provided in the care instructions to preserve its technical properties.
What makes the zipper saltwater-resistant?
The jacket features a YKK® Vislon® front zipper which is specifically designed and treated to offer increased resistance to corrosion caused by saltwater, making it more durable for marine use.
Can the hood be removed?
The hood is integrated into the collar and can be tucked away into the collar when not in use. It is not designed to be removed.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester for both the shell and the lining, ensuring durability and quick drying properties.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof or water-repellent
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Rinse the YKK® Vislon® zipper with fresh water, especially after saltwater exposure, to remove salt and debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers if necessary.
Jacket feels clammy or not breathable
Ensure the garment is not overly layered for the current temperature. Check that the HELLY TECH® membrane is not blocked by dirt or residue. Wash the jacket following care instructions.
Drawcords are tangled or difficult to adjust
Gently untangle the drawcords. Ensure the cord locks are functioning correctly. Refer to the care section for washing instructions that help maintain cord function.
