Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Escape Utility Jacket is designed for adult women who want a fusion of modern urban style and reliable outdoor protection. Featuring a short, sleek, and cropped silhouette, it offers excellent versatility for city living and light outdoor activities, with its primary benefit being the HELLY TECH waterproof and breathable construction that ensures comfort in rainy weather. However, users should note that the cropped length provides less coverage than a traditional parka, which may be a consideration in extreme cold or heavy wind conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the 2-layer HELLY TECH construction provides high levels of wind protection, making it suitable for breezy days.
Can I wear this in deep winter?
The jacket is not insulated for extreme deep-winter temperatures, but it can work in milder winter climates if layered with thick wool or fleece base layers.
How should I clean the jacket?
Wash it in a machine on a gentle cycle with specialized gear detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane.
Does it have a hood?
The design focuses on the sleek silhouette; please check the specific product variant, as styles may vary, but most utility-style jackets in this series feature a protective hood.
What is the fit like?
It features a relaxed, cropped fit. It is true to size, but the boxy cut allows for generous room for layering underneath.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are designed to keep items dry, but they are not fully submersible. Avoid keeping delicate electronics in pockets during heavy downpours.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric surface rather than beading.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and reapply a DWR spray treatment to restore its water-repellent properties.
The jacket feels damp inside even during light rain.
Ensure that the cuff adjusters are tightened and the main zipper is fully closed to prevent water entry. Also, ensure you are not wearing heavy cotton layers that trap sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its protective properties, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle. Use a technical garment detergent to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane.
- DWR Maintenance: Periodically reapply a DWR spray if you notice water no longer beading on the surface of the fabric.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. The heat from the dryer helps reactivate the DWR treatment.
- Storage: Use the internal hanging loop to store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it compressed in a bag for long periods.
- Compatibility: The regular fit is designed to accommodate various mid-layers, from thin long-sleeve shirts to thicker sweaters.
