Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Luna Hi-Vis Softshell Jacket is designed for women working in environments that require high visibility and protection from the elements. Its key benefit is offering a female-specific fit that enhances comfort and mobility while meeting safety standards. A potential caveat is that its Class 2 certification requires pairing with other Class 3 garments for full compliance in certain situations. This jacket features a durable, water-repellent softshell fabric, articulated sleeves for optimal movement, and strategically placed pockets for utility.

FAQs
What does EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 2 mean?
This certification indicates the garment's level of visibility. Class 2 offers a medium level of visibility. For certain high-risk environments, it must be combined with other certified garments (like Class 3 trousers) to achieve an overall Class 3 protection level.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Helly Hansen. The jacket is designed with articulated sleeves and adjustable cuffs/hem for a customized fit, but starting with the correct size is crucial.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
The jacket provides wind and water resistance but is primarily a softshell layer. For very cold temperatures, it is designed to be layered over insulating base and mid-layers.
How should I wash the jacket to maintain its properties?
Machine wash with like colors in lukewarm water (40°C). Do not use bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Close zippers before washing.
Is this jacket suitable for women in all types of weather?
It offers good protection against wind and light rain. For heavy rain or extreme cold, additional layers or a more waterproof outer shell may be necessary.
What are the benefits of the brushed polyester inside collar?
The brushed lining provides a softer feel against the skin and helps to trap a small amount of warmth, increasing overall comfort, especially when the collar is zipped up.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Consider re-applying a DWR spray or wash-in treatment suitable for technical fabrics.
Reflective tape appears to be damaged or peeling
Inspect carefully; minor wear might occur over extended periods. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or excessive abrasion. If significantly damaged, it compromises visibility and safety standards.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.
