FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for rainy, wet, and humid conditions, offering waterproof protection and breathability. It is suitable for mild to cool temperatures when layered appropriately.
Is the jacket insulated for cold weather?
No, the Sandoy Rain Jacket is not insulated. It is designed as a waterproof shell, meaning you can layer clothing underneath for warmth in colder temperatures.
How do I clean my Helly Hansen Sandoy Rain Jacket?
Machine wash on a lukewarm setting (40°C) with similar colors. Use liquid detergent and ensure all zippers are closed. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat.
Can I reapply the water repellent treatment?
Yes, if the jacket’s water repellency decreases, you can reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying the jacket. Follow the instructions on the DWR product.
What does 'PFC-free' mean for this jacket?
PFC-free means the jacket has been manufactured without the use of perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in waterproofing treatments but can be harmful to the environment. Helly Hansen uses alternative, more environmentally sound treatments.
What are the pocket closures?
The hand pockets feature YKK® zippers to securely close and protect your belongings.
Does the hood have adjustable features?
Yes, the hood is adjustable with a drawstring, allowing you to customize the fit for better protection against wind and rain.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not fully waterproof
Ensure all seams are properly sealed and check zippers are fully closed. If the issue persists, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need reapplication or the fabric may be damaged. Clean the jacket according to care instructions before considering re-waterproofing.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable
This can occur if the inner lining is wet or the fabric's breathability is compromised. Ensure you are not overheating internally. Clean the jacket as per care instructions to restore breathability. Check that the internal fabric is dry.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of beeswax or zipper lubricant if necessary.
Fit is uncomfortable
Adjust the hood drawcord and cuff snap buttons for a more personalized fit. The jacket has a regular fit, consider layering options for warmth or a different style if a very slim or loose fit is desired.
