Full details
This Helly Hansen Men's Active Puffy Jacket is designed for adult males seeking lightweight warmth and a comfortable fit, ideal for transitional weather or as a layering piece.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the synthetic compressed air insulation?
The synthetic compressed air insulation provides excellent warmth without the bulk associated with natural down, making the jacket lightweight and comfortable.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is not waterproof. It offers some water resistance, but it is best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, consider wearing it as a layer under a waterproof outer shell.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat, preferably with tennis balls to help fluff the insulation.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
While it provides good warmth for its weight, it is best used as a layering piece in very cold weather. For extreme cold, it should be worn under a heavier jacket or parka.
What does 'Nimbus Cloud' refer to?
'Nimbus Cloud' refers to the specific color of this jacket. The jacket is also available in other colors.
What sizes and colors are available?
This jacket is available in various sizes for men, including L, XL, and XXL, and in colors such as Grey, Red, White, Black, Orange, and Blue. Please refer to specific product listings for exact availability.
Are the printed HH logos durable?
The printed logos are designed for aesthetic appeal. While generally durable, extensive wear and washing may cause them to fade over time.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the synthetic insulation is not compressed and has been properly dried and fluffed. Check for any gaps or tears in the fabric that might be allowing heat to escape. Consider it may need an additional insulating layer for colder temperatures.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the zipper is free of debris. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure the bezel is aligned correctly before zipping.
Jacket lost its loft after washing.
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help break up clumps and restore loft to the synthetic insulation.
