FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the HELLY TECH® Performance construction is designed to be both windproof and waterproof.

Can I use this for backcountry skiing?

While the jacket is highly capable, it is primarily optimized for resort skiing. Its insulation is excellent for chairlift rides but may be too warm for high-output uphill touring.

What is the Life Pocket™?

The Life Pocket™ is a thermally insulated compartment specifically designed to keep electronic devices, such as phones, within an optimal temperature range to prevent rapid battery depletion.

Does the hood fit over any helmet?

It is designed to be helmet-compatible, fitting most standard-sized ski and snowboard helmets comfortably.

How often should I wash the jacket?

Wash it whenever it becomes noticeably dirty or when sweat buildup begins to inhibit the fabric's breathability. Always check the care label inside the garment.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric rather than beading off

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment followed by low heat activation.

Hood is uncomfortable or doesn't fit properly with helmet

Adjust the hood drawstring while wearing the helmet to distribute tension evenly across the head.

Feeling damp inside despite the jacket being waterproof

This is often a result of improper layering. Ensure you are using moisture-wicking base layers to allow the jacket's breathability features to function correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent insulation-to-bulk ratio with PrimaLoft®
  • High level of freedom of movement due to stretch panels
  • Life Pocket™ effectively helps prevent phone battery drain in extreme cold
  • Fully sealed seams prevent moisture ingress during heavy snowfall
  • Highly visible phosphorescent accents improve safety in low-light conditions

Cons

  • Requires specialized laundering to maintain waterproof treatment
  • Specific fit may feel different for those accustomed to non-stretch jackets
  • Higher price point compared to entry-level ski shells

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains performance-ready, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure the wrist gaiters sit comfortably without restricting circulation; adjust the hood straps once your helmet is on to ensure a secure range of view.
  2. Ventilation Management: Open underarm zippers *before* you feel overheated to better manage your internal temperature.
  3. Cleaning: Wash in cold water on a delicate cycle using a technical outerwear detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry. Periodic light heat from a dryer can help refresh the factory-applied water-repellent finish.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use during the off-season.
