Helly Hansen Crew Sailing Jacket 2.0 - Blue - M

HELLY TECH® Protection is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof, windproof, and breathable barrier. It ensures you stay dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.

The jacket itself provides windproof and waterproof protection with some inherent warmth from the fleece collar and pockets. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a shell layer over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down.

The jacket has a regular fit. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for detailed measurements. Consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath when selecting your size.

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

The frequency depends on usage and washing. Generally, if water no longer beads on the surface after washing and drying, it's time to reapply a DWR treatment.

The taffeta lining ensures that the sleeves slide on and off easily, making it simpler to put on and take off the jacket, especially when wearing other layers underneath.

Yes, the jacket's waterproof, windproof, and breathable features, along with its freedom of movement, make it suitable for hiking in various weather conditions.

The Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions after washing. Ensure all seams are fully sealed and check for any damage.

Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite (from a pencil) to the teeth.

This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash according to care instructions. Avoid wearing excessive insulating layers underneath that may trap moisture.

This can happen with frequent washing. Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and avoid high heat drying. Consider using a fabric conditioner specifically designed for fleece if recommended by the conditioner manufacturer, but note this may affect DWR.
