Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Brussel Raincoat is designed for the modern urban commuter who requires reliable weather protection without sacrificing a classic aesthetic. Utilizing Helly Tech Protection technology, this raincoat provides a breathable, waterproof, and windproof barrier against the elements, making it ideal for daily city transit. While the coat excels at keeping you dry during heavy downpours, prospective users should note that the 2-layer construction is optimized for mild-to-moderate climates rather than extreme mountain expeditions.

FAQs

Is this coat insulated?

No, the Brussel Raincoat is a shell layer. It is designed to be worn over sweaters or mid-layers for warmth.

Can I use this for hiking?

While it is waterproof and breathable, it is designed for urban use. It lacks the technical articulation and specific features found in dedicated mountain gear.

How often should I wash it?

Wash it whenever it becomes dirty or if you notice the DWR coating is not performing. Keeping the fabric clean is essential for breathability.

Does it have an internal pocket?

The coat features multiple pockets for secure storage, though specific internal configurations may vary by design version.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is integrated into the coat design to ensure maximum water protection at the neck and shoulder area.

What does Helly Tech Protection mean?

It is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that combines a waterproof/breathable membrane with seam-sealed construction.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking through the outer fabric

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Re-activate by tumble drying the coat on low heat or apply a fresh DWR spray.

Feeling damp inside the coat during activity

This is likely caused by condensation. Ensure you are not wearing heavy cotton layers underneath, which trap moisture; opt for synthetic or wool base layers instead.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable waterproof and windproof performance
  • Versatile and classic aesthetic suitable for city life
  • Highly breathable for comfort during active commuting
  • High-quality YKK hardware ensures longevity

Cons

  • Not insulated, requiring layering for cold temperatures
  • 2-layer design may feel bulkier than thin shells
  • Limited to urban-focused feature set

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the Helly Hansen Brussel Raincoat, ensure all zippers are fully closed during wash cycles. Machine wash on a warm setting using a technical garment cleaner or mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the breathable membrane. Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the DWR treatment. If the garment loses its water-repelling capability over time, consider applying a commercial DWR spray specifically formulated for technical outdoor wear.
