FAQs
Is this parka suitable for heavy snow or extreme cold?
The Helly Hansen W Irma Parka is designed for moderate weather conditions. While it offers good warmth and weather protection, for extreme cold or heavy snow, layering with additional warm garments is recommended.
How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR treatment?
You'll notice that water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric's surface, but instead soaks into the material. If the fabric looks dark and wet after light rain, it's time to reapply.
Can I use fabric softener when washing this parka?
No, fabric softeners should be avoided as they can clog the pores of the fabric, reducing its breathability and water-repellent properties.
What is HELLY TECH PERFORMANCE?
HELLY TECH PERFORMANCE is Helly Hansen's proprietary waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric technology, designed for a wide range of outdoor activities in demanding conditions.
What type of insulation does this parka use?
This parka uses PrimaLoft BLACK insulation, known for its warmth, softness, and water-repellent properties, providing excellent thermal performance even when wet.
How do I adjust the waist for a better fit?
There is an internal drawstring system located inside the parka at the waist. Gently pull on the drawstrings to cinch the waist and create a more fitted silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down until it moves smoothly.
Reduced water repellency
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need to be reapplied. Wash the garment according to care instructions, then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the existing DWR. If water still does not bead, apply a new DWR treatment following the product's instructions.
Insulation feels less effective
Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can compress insulation. Check that no additional layers underneath are too bulky. For extreme cold, consider adding a warmer base or mid-layer.
Drawstrings are tangled or difficult to adjust
Gently untangle the drawstrings. If the toggles are stuck, ensure they are clean and dry before attempting to adjust.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your parka, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash warm (40°C) on a gentle cycle. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Do not bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Remove promptly after drying.
- Ironing: Do not iron. If ironing is necessary, use a very low heat setting and iron inside out.
- Water Repellency Treatment: Periodically reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to the outer fabric, especially if water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the product instructions for the DWR treatment. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can impede the fabric's breathability and water-repellent properties.
