Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Helly Tech membrane, follow these guidelines:
- Layering: Wear a moisture-wicking base layer and a thermal mid-layer, such as a fleece or lightweight down jacket, depending on the temperature.
- Cleaning: Wash the jacket using a technical garment cleaner designed for waterproof shells to avoid damaging the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Reactivation: Periodically tumble dry the jacket on low heat or iron it on a cool setting (with a towel between the iron and jacket) to help maintain the water-beading performance of the outer fabric.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place and avoid hanging it in direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent material degradation.
