FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish (DWR) and a membrane, making it resistant to light rain and snow. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand heavy or prolonged downpours.
What material is the jacket made of?
The main fabric is composed of 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane, with a weight of 305 g/m². It features a softshell fabric with a membrane and DWR treatment.
Can I wear this jacket in freezing temperatures?
This jacket is best suited for moderate conditions. For very cold temperatures, layering with a warm mid-layer or choosing a more insulated jacket would be recommended.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in lukewarm water on a gentle cycle at 40°C. Do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on low heat. Do not dry clean.
Does the jacket have a hood?
Based on the product description, this specific model does not appear to have a hood; it features a high collar for comfort and protection.
Are there internal pockets?
Yes, the jacket includes inside stash pockets for convenient storage of personal items.
What is the benefit of the articulated sleeves?
Articulated sleeves are designed to allow for a greater range of motion, making it easier to move your arms freely without the jacket restricting your movement, which is beneficial for active tasks.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
Jacket feels less water-repellent
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment spray suitable for softshell fabrics after washing and drying according to care instructions.
Sizing feels incorrect
Consult the Helly Hansen size chart for accurate measurements. Ensure you are measuring correctly according to the guidelines provided.
Brushed lining feels matted
This can sometimes occur after washing. Ensure you are using the gentle cycle and a low heat tumble dry. Avoid harsh detergents.
