FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is best suited for rainy and changeable weather conditions typically experienced in spring and summer. It provides waterproof and breathable protection.

Is this jacket insulated?

No, the Koster Rain Jacket is a shell jacket. It is designed to protect you from the rain and is lightweight. For colder weather, you will need to layer a warm mid-layer underneath.

How do I clean my Helly Hansen Koster Rain Jacket?

Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild, liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid direct heat.

What does 'Helly Tech® Performance' mean?

Helly Tech® Performance is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof, windproof, and breathable barrier, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable in various weather conditions.

Can I wear this jacket in windy conditions?

Yes, the waterproof and windproof nature of the Helly Tech® Performance fabric will offer protection against wind, but it is primarily designed for rain protection.

How do I maintain the jacket's waterproofness?

Regular cleaning with appropriate detergents and periodic reapplication of a DWR treatment will help maintain its waterproof and water-repellent properties.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the fabric.

Ensure the jacket has been washed correctly with appropriate detergent and that the DWR treatment is still effective. Reapply DWR if necessary, following the product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a wax-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth to improve smooth operation.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can occur if the breathability is reduced due to dirt or residue. Ensure the jacket is clean and has been properly rinsed. Consider washing with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof-breathable fabrics.
