Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Moss Rain Jacket is designed for adult women who need reliable protection in wet, unpredictable conditions, drawing its heritage from classic 1950s Norwegian fisherman gear. It offers exceptional waterproof and windproof performance due to its signature PU fabric construction, making it an ideal choice for outdoor work or rainy city commutes. However, users should be aware that the material is heavy-duty and non-breathable, which may cause overheating during intense physical exertion.

FAQs
Is this jacket breathable?
No, the PU fabric is designed for maximum water and wind protection, which means it is not breathable and is best suited for low-to-moderate activity.
Can I put this in the dryer?
No, you should never tumble dry the Moss Rain Jacket as the heat will damage the waterproof PU coating.
What does the regular fit mean?
A regular fit means the jacket is cut with enough room to wear standard layers, such as a sweater or base layer, underneath without feeling restricted.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are protected by flaps to keep rain out, but they are not completely waterproof containers, so avoid storing electronics in them during heavy storms.
How do I fix a snag in the material?
Use the repair kit included with your purchase, which is designed to seal minor punctures or tears in the PU fabric.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, you must not use fabric softener, as it can break down the waterproof treatment and degrade the fabric performance.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the jacket
This is likely condensation due to the non-breathable PU fabric; try layering with moisture-wicking materials rather than cotton, or unzip the front slightly during periods of lower rain intensity.
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Ensure the fabric placket isn't caught in the teeth, and clean any dirt or debris out of the YKK Vislon track using a damp cloth.
Small puncture or tear in the fabric
Use the provided repair kit included with your jacket to patch the area according to the kit's specific instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Moss Rain Jacket maintains its waterproof integrity for years, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Care: Machine wash at 40°C in warm water. Always close the zippers before washing to prevent damage. Wash with similar colors and do not use fabric softener, as this can degrade the coating.
- Avoid: Do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron, and do not dry clean. These processes can permanently damage the PU material.
- Storage: Hang the jacket to air dry completely after use in the rain. Avoid storing it while damp to prevent mildew or odors.
- Repairs: Use the included repair kit immediately if you notice a puncture or tear, as water can enter through even small holes in the waterproof membrane.
