FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
This jacket is designed as a midlayer, offering significant warmth from its fleece lining. While it can be worn as an outer layer in moderate cold, for extreme winter conditions, it is best layered over additional insulating garments.
What is the primary purpose of this jacket?
Its primary purpose is to serve as a waterproof, windproof, and breathable insulation layer for sailing. However, it is also versatile enough to be used as a warm outer layer for various outdoor activities.
How do I choose the right size?
Consult the Helly Hansen sizing chart for men's apparel. Consider whether you plan to wear thick layers underneath, which might require sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
The Helly Tech® Protection offers excellent waterproofing. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, consider pairing it with a fully waterproof outer shell for maximum protection.
How do I maintain the jacket's breathability?
Proper washing with mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners is key. Ensuring the DWR treatment is functional also helps maintain breathability by preventing the outer fabric from 'wetting out'.
What makes the Ykk® Vislon® zipper 'saltwater resistant'?
This type of zipper is constructed with materials and finishes that are less prone to corrosion and degradation when exposed to saltwater, ensuring its longevity in marine environments.
Can the hood be completely removed?
The hood is designed to pack down into the collar and is not intended to be removed.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof/windproof
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear if needed. Also, check for any damage to the Helly Tech® membrane.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the Ykk® Vislon® zipper with fresh water to remove salt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the zipper teeth.
Fleece lining feels clumpy after washing
Ensure the jacket is fully dried according to care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can cause clumping.
Hood is difficult to pack into the collar
Ensure the hood is completely dry and then carefully fold it or roll it before tucking it into the collar compartment. Ensure no other items are obstructing the space.
