Helly Hansen Verglas Hooded Down 2.0 Jacket - Men's Cobalt 2.0, M

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I've been taking the Verglas Hooded Down 2. 0 Jacket on everything from alpine starts to weekend camping trips, and it never leaves the pack. The hood is a real difference maker at elevation when the wind picks up at the top, and the whole jacket compresses down small enough that carrying it costs you almost nothing.""There's a moment on every big mountain day when the exertion stops and the cold rushes in, and the Verglas Hooded Down 2. 0 Jacket from Helly Hansen is built for exactly that transition. It comes out of the pack in seconds, the hood cinches down against the wind, and within a few minutes, you're warm enough to enjoy the view rather than race back down to find it. Hydrophobic duck down insulation holds its loft through the kind of damp, unpredictable conditions that defeat untreated down, keeping the warmth-to-weight ratio working in your favor when the weather shifts mid-objective. The recycled ripstop shell handles abrasion and light moisture, elastic cuffs and an adjustable hem lock out the cold at the edges, and when the temperature climbs back up the whole jacket compresses into its own hand pocket and disappears back into your bag. Bluesign certified and built with Responsible Down Standard certified insulation, this is a jacket that's thought through from the inside out."
