FAQs
What is Helly Tech® Protection?
Helly Tech® Protection is Helly Hansen's trusted technology for creating waterproof, windproof, and breathable garments. It ensures you stay dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.
Is this jacket insulated?
The Dubliner Rain Jacket features a lightweight, quick-drying lining for comfort but is not heavily insulated. It is designed to be layered over other clothing for warmth.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is suitable for cold weather when layered with warmer clothing underneath, such as a fleece or insulated mid-layer. The quick-drying lining adds comfort in varying temperatures.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in warm water at 40°C with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and do not iron or dry clean. Always close zippers before washing.
What does 'PFC-free' mean?
PFC-free means the jacket's water-repellent treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used for waterproofing but can be harmful to the environment. This jacket uses a more environmentally friendly alternative.
What is a bluesign® product?
A bluesign® product certification ensures that the textile product is made with responsible use of resources, and minimal impact on people and the environment throughout the entire production chain.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood can be adjusted for a snugger fit using internal drawcords or toggles, if present on the specific model. It can also be folded into the collar when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure the DWR treatment is intact. Wash the jacket and consider reapplying a DWR spray or wash-in treatment. Check that all seams are properly sealed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and warm water. Lubricate the zipper with a wax or silicone-based product designed for zippers.
Lining feels damp or clammy
This can indicate a breach in the waterproof layer or inadequate ventilation. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before wearing. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams.
Jacket has an odor after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry after washing and drying. Some synthetic materials can retain odors if not properly aired out. Consider a second rinse cycle if necessary.
