FAQs
What is HELLY TECH PERFORMANCE?
HELLY TECH PERFORMANCE is Helly Hansen's proprietary waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric technology designed to keep you dry and comfortable in outdoor conditions.
Is the insulation suitable for very cold temperatures?
The synthetic blow-able insulation provides good warmth. For extreme cold, layering with additional base and mid-layers is recommended.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
How do I maintain the water repellency of the jacket?
After washing and drying, you can reapply a DWR treatment. Ensure zippers and seams are in good condition, as these can be points of water ingress.
What does 'blow-able insulation' mean?
It refers to a type of synthetic insulation that mimics the loft and trapping of air found in down, providing excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and insulation even when moist.
What is the benefit of a 2-way zipper?
A 2-way zipper allows you to open the jacket from both the top and the bottom, which is useful for ventilation, ease of movement, or accessing items in pockets while staying partially covered.
Does this jacket come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the Helly Hansen Active Puffy Long Jacket is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for availability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure the hood and hem are properly tightened. Check that the main zipper is fully closed. For extreme cold, consider adding a warmer mid-layer beneath the jacket.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Water is penetrating the fabric
Check for any damage to the HELLY TECH PERFORMANCE membrane. Ensure all seams and zippers are properly sealed. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the fabric is no longer beading water.
Insulation appears clumpy after washing
Place the jacket back in the dryer on low heat with clean tennis balls for 15-20 minutes to help break up clumps and restore loft.
