Full details

The Helly Hansen Escape Rain Jacket is an ideal choice for urban professionals and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable protection against the elements without sacrificing style. This jacket offers an excellent balance of waterproof, windproof, and breathable technology, making it perfect for daily commutes or light weekend hikes in unpredictable weather.

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle with warm water. Avoid softeners and bleach.

Can I wear this in extreme cold?

The jacket provides excellent wind and rain protection, but it is not insulated. You should layer it over a thermal mid-layer for cold weather.

Does it have a waterproof zipper?

The front zipper is protected by a double storm flap to ensure water does not enter through the mechanism.

What does bluesign approved mean?

It means the textile production process meets strict environmental and safety standards by eliminating harmful substances from the start.

Is the hood removable?

The hood is not removable, but it is fully adjustable with a shapeable brim for optimal fit.

How should I store the jacket?

Store it hanging in a dry, cool place to prevent the fabric from creasing or moisture buildup.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric rather than beading up

The DWR (Durable Water Repellency) coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and apply a technical fabric DWR treatment spray.

Feeling damp inside the jacket during heavy activity

Ensure that the ventilation adjustments are managed correctly and that you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers instead of cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Helly Hansen Escape Rain Jacket, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. The jacket arrives ready to wear with an adjustable hem and cuffs; adjust these toggles when you first try it on to ensure they fit snugly over gloves or clothing layers. For cleaning, machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle, avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners that can degrade the DWR coating. Periodically reapplying a DWR treatment spray after washing will help maintain the jacket's water-shedding capabilities over time. Always hang the jacket to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the seam sealing.
