FAQs
Is the Helly Hansen Koster Rain Jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it features Helly Tech protection and fully sealed seams to provide a complete waterproof, windproof, and breathable barrier.
Can I wear this jacket in the winter?
It is a shell jacket and does not contain insulation. It is best used for rainy weather; for winter, we recommend layering it over a thermal fleece or down jacket.
How should I wash this jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using a mild technical detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners.
Does it have an internal pocket?
The Koster features two external hand pockets with YKK zippers; it does not typically include internal storage pockets.
Is the material stretchy?
The jacket is crafted from polyester, which provides a structured, durable feel rather than a stretchy fit.
Can the hood be removed?
No, the hood is integrated into the design to ensure maximum water protection and to maintain the integrity of the sealed seams.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the surface fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off; use a technical re-waterproofing spray specifically formulated for polyester shells.
Condensation building up inside the jacket
Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated by loosening the cuffs or unzipping slightly if your activity level increases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the jacket's waterproof membrane, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool water with a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to protect the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place; avoid folding it for extended periods while damp to prevent mildew.
- Compatibility: The Koster is designed as a standalone layer. Its regular fit allows for layering a mid-weight sweater or fleece underneath without restricting movement.
