FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Helly Hansen Crew Hooded Jacket 2.0?
This jacket is designed as a waterproof, windproof, and breathable mid-layer or outer layer, originally developed for sailing and water-based activities, offering protection and comfort in challenging weather.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning. Reapply DWR treatment as needed.
Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?
It can be used as a mid-layer in very cold weather, providing good insulation thanks to the Polartec® fleece. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulating garments underneath is recommended.
What makes the zipper special?
The jacket features a YKK® Vislon® zipper that is specifically designed to be sturdier and more resistant to saltwater, making it corrosion-resistant for marine environments.
Can the hood be removed?
The hood is designed to be packed into the collar for storage rather than being removable.
What is the benefit of the articulated elbows and shoulders?
These features allow for greater freedom of movement, enabling you to perform tasks and maneuver comfortably without the jacket restricting your range of motion, which is particularly useful during active use like sailing.
How does the lining affect comfort?
The jacket features Polartec® fleece lining for warmth and breathability, and taffeta-lined sleeves for easy on and off. The collar and hand pockets are also lined with brushed fleece for added comfort.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof or water beads are not rolling off.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment on the outer fabric may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions, typically after washing and drying. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris, salt, or sand. Gently clean the zipper with a soft brush. Lubricate the zipper track with beeswax or a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers.
Fleece lining feels damp after use in wet conditions.
While the jacket is waterproof, heavy or prolonged exposure may eventually saturate the outer layers. Ensure all closures (zipper, cuffs, hem) are sealed properly. Allow the jacket to air dry completely after use to restore its insulating properties.
Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside.
Check that vents are open if applicable and that the jacket is not excessively layered. Ensure the DWR is intact and the fabric's breathability is not compromised by dirt or residue. Clean the jacket following care instructions.
