Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Koster Rain Jacket is an ideal choice for adults seeking a lightweight, reliable outer layer for unpredictable spring and summer weather. Inspired by professional-grade sailing apparel, this jacket utilizes Helly Tech Performance technology to provide superior waterproof and breathable protection, ensuring you stay dry without overheating. While its 2-layer design offers excellent shielding against wind and rain, it is specifically optimized for mild-to-moderate conditions rather than extreme, heavy-duty alpine environments.

FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, it features Helly Tech Performance technology and is fully seam-sealed to keep you dry in rainy conditions.
Can I wear this in the winter?
The Koster is designed for spring and summer weather. It does not provide the insulation needed for freezing temperatures unless layered with heavy thermal clothing.
How do I wash it?
Wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with the zippers closed. Do not use fabric softener, as it can damage the waterproof membrane.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, it features an adjustable hood designed to provide a secure fit during windy or wet conditions.
Is the jacket breathable?
It is built with breathable fabrics to prevent moisture buildup inside the jacket while you are active.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off; tumble dry the jacket on low heat or apply a DWR-rejuvenating spray according to manufacturer instructions.
Feeling damp inside during high-intensity activity
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers; the jacket is breathable but functions best when moisture is moved away from your skin first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Koster Rain Jacket maintains its protective properties, proper care is essential. When the jacket gets dirty, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Always close all zippers before washing to prevent mechanical damage. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating from the fabric. To reactivate the water-repellency, tumble dry on a low setting or follow the garment's internal care label instructions. Avoid storing the jacket while damp; ensure it is fully air-dried in a well-ventilated area before putting it away for long-term storage.
