FAQs
What makes the Helly Tech® Protection special?
Helly Tech® Protection is a durable and waterproof yet breathable fabric technology that keeps you dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside. It's designed to protect you in various wet, windy, and wild conditions.
How do I clean the jacket properly?
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, followed by a double rinse. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid fabric softener and bleach.
Can I wear this jacket in mild weather?
While breathable, the jacket is designed for protection against wind and water. It may be warmer than desired in mild, dry conditions. Consider layering or unzipping for ventilation.
What is the benefit of the articulated elbows and shoulders?
This design provides greater freedom of movement, allowing you to perform tasks like adjusting sails or reaching for equipment without restriction.
Is the zipper designed for saltwater use?
Yes, the jacket features a Ykk® Vislon® center front zipper that is specifically designed to be more resistant to saltwater corrosion, making it ideal for marine environments.
What should I do if the jacket loses its water repellency?
You can restore the water repellency by applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Ensure the jacket is clean before application, and follow the specific instructions for the DWR product you use.
What is the purpose of the packable hood?
The hood provides an extra layer of protection against the elements. It can be conveniently folded and stored within the collar when not needed, maintaining a cleaner profile.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean. Apply a DWR treatment according to product instructions. Check seams for damage.
Zipper is stiff or corroded
Clean the zipper with fresh water and a soft brush. Apply a wax-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers.
Breathability seems reduced
Wash the jacket according to care instructions to remove any dirt or residues that may be blocking the membrane pores. Ensure detergent is fully rinsed out.
Hood is difficult to pack
Ensure the hood is completely dry before attempting to fold and store it in the collar. Make sure no debris is obstructing the collar.
