FAQs
What is HELLY TECH PROTECTION?
HELLY TECH PROTECTION is a technology that provides a waterproof, windproof, and breathable outer layer for garments, keeping you dry and comfortable in various weather conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy snow or extreme cold?
This jacket is designed for moderate weather. While it offers warmth and water resistance, it may not provide sufficient insulation for extreme cold or heavy snow conditions. A jacket with a higher insulation rating and longer length might be more appropriate for such environments.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, fabric softener is not recommended as it can clog the pores of the waterproof-breathable membrane and reduce the jacket's water-repellent properties.
What is the benefit of the 2-way zipper?
A 2-way zipper allows you to open the jacket from both the top and the bottom, providing versatile ventilation options and allowing for adjustments when sitting or wearing a backpack.
How do I maintain the water repellency?
After several washes, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off. You can restore it by washing the jacket and then tumble drying it on low heat, or by using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
What does 'Synthetic blow-able insulation' mean?
This refers to synthetic fibers that are processed to mimic the loft and insulating properties of down. They are designed to retain warmth effectively, even when wet, and can be 'blown' into the jacket during manufacturing for even distribution.
Troubleshooting
Jacket loses water repellency
Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a DWR treatment. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or paraffin) to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Insulation appears clumpy after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to help break up any clumps and restore loft.
Seams are leaking water
Inspect seams for damage. While HELLY TECH PROTECTION typically has sealed seams, significant wear might compromise this. For minor issues, a seam sealer might offer a temporary fix, but extensive damage may require professional repair.
