FAQs
What type of insulation does this jacket use?
The jacket uses PrimaLoft® Black insulation, made from 100% recycled polyester, providing warmth and comfort.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Helly Hansen Crew Insulator Jacket 2.0 is designed as an insulating layer and is not waterproof. It offers water resistance but should be paired with a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
It provides good warmth as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over a base layer and potentially under a heavier, insulated, or waterproof outer jacket.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) without bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on low temperature. Wash dark colors separately.
What does 'PFC-free' mean?
PFC-free means the product is made without perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in DWR (durable water repellent) treatments. This designation indicates a more environmentally friendly production process.
What is the fit of this jacket?
The jacket has a regular fit, designed to be comfortable for layering and allow for movement.
Can this jacket be worn by women?
While designed with a men's fit, individuals may find the regular fit suitable depending on their preferred sizing and style. Consider reviewing the specific measurements if a women's fit is desired.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure the insulation is not compressed. Check care label instructions; fabric softener or improper washing can reduce insulation effectiveness. Ensure it is layered appropriately for the conditions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.
Pilling or discoloration on fabric
This can occur with excessive friction or improper washing. Ensure you are following the care instructions, particularly regarding washing temperature, detergent type, and avoiding fabric softeners. Wash dark colors separately.
