Helly Hansen Verglas Down Jacket 2.0 - Men's Jungle Green, M

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I've been throwing the Verglas Down Jacket 2. 0 in my pack on every mountain objective this season, and it's become my most-reached-for layer at the top. The hydrophobic down holds its warmth even when things get damp, and the packable pocket means it takes up almost no space when I don't need it.""The temperature at the summit is never what it was at the trailhead, and the Verglas Down Jacket 2. 0 from Helly Hansen is the layer that bridges that gap without adding meaningful weight to your pack. It stuffs into its own hand pocket and disappears until you need it, which, out on the mountain, is exactly the kind of gear that earns a permanent spot in the rotation. Hydrophobic duck down insulation keeps the warmth-to-weight ratio firmly in your favor, and unlike untreated down, it holds onto its loft when light moisture finds its way in. The recycled ripstop shell adds durability and sheds water with a PFC-free DWR finish, while elastic cuffs and an adjustable hem seal in warmth on exposed terrain. Whether it's riding under a hardshell on a big ski touring day or standing in for the only layer you need on a cool evening at camp, the Verglas Down Jacket 2. 0 covers the range without breaking a sweat."
