Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Dubliner Jacket is a fully waterproof and breathable rain jacket designed for men, offering versatile protection for outdoor activities like sailing, city commutes, or general use. Its key benefit lies in the Helly Tech technology, which effectively blocks external water while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable. A potential caveat is its regular fit, which might require careful consideration if a very slim or oversized silhouette is preferred.

FAQs
What is Helly Tech protection?
Helly Tech is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof, windproof, and breathable outer layer. It ensures that external water is kept out while allowing internal moisture (sweat vapor) to escape.
How do I know if my jacket needs re-waterproofing?
If water no longer beads up and roll off the surface of the fabric, but instead soaks in, it is time to consider reapplying a DWR treatment.
Can I use this jacket in very cold weather?
The Dubliner Jacket is designed for waterproofing and windproofing. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear insulating layers underneath, such as a fleece or down jacket, to provide warmth.
What is the fit of the Dubliner Jacket?
The jacket features a 'Regular' fit, meaning it is neither slim nor oversized. This fit allows for comfortable layering over mid-weight garments.
How often should I wash my jacket?
Wash your jacket when it appears dirty or when its water repellency seems reduced. Frequent washing is not necessary but cleaning helps maintain performance. Follow the care instructions provided.
What is the difference between this jacket and an insulated jacket?
The Dubliner Jacket is a shell jacket, providing waterproof and windproof protection without built-in insulation. Insulated jackets contain a layer of material to trap heat and provide warmth.
Can I pack this jacket for travel?
Yes, the Dubliner Jacket is lightweight and can be easily packed into a backpack or travel bag, making it convenient for trips.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.
Reactivate the DWR treatment by tumble drying on a low heat or ironing on a low heat setting. If this does not resolve the issue, consider reapplying a DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to product instructions.
Water is leaking through seams.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If leaks persist, the garment may require professional seam sealing or may have reached the end of its effective waterproof lifespan.
Jacket feels clammy or wet on the inside.
This can be due to insufficient breathability or condensation. Ensure vents are open if present, and check that the fabric is clean. Sweat vapor can build up if the DWR is compromised or if the fabric is saturated.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers to ensure smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The regular fit is designed to be compatible with mid-layer garments such as fleece jackets or light sweaters. It pairs well with waterproof trousers for complete protection.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash with zippers and velcro fastened, in cold water (30°C or 86°F) on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a liquid detergent specifically designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for about 20-30 minutes. Once dry, you can iron on a low heat setting to reactivate the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatment. If you do not have a tumble dryer, hang the jacket to air dry and then iron on a low heat.
- Re-waterproofing: Periodically, when water no longer beads on the surface, reapply a DWR treatment following the product instructions.
