Helly Hansen’s Urban Outerwear Collection
Choices, choices … when it comes to Helly Hansen’s wide range of outerwear options from more mountain-oriented pieces to styles that are ideal for travel and urban settings, you can always count on staying warm and dry. Helly Hansen offers top of the line technologies including Helly Tech® Protection and pays extra special attention to the details to make each piece 100% reliable and awesome.
I love fall and winter, but I do tend to run cold so being prepared with the right layers is key for me. I also love options. I’ve got the 600 fill power DownLite Duck down W Leonie Down Jacket in the super stylie camo for cold/dry days; the W Verglas Down Insulator for layering under a rain shell when hiking, walking the dog or camping (also makes a great ski/snowboard layer!); the bright W Captains Rain Parka (not currently available) that was my go-to over the summer when I crave color and still makes a fantastic longer raincoat; and the oh-so-versatile W Helsinki 3-in-1 Raincoat that is incredibly soft to the touch and extremely comfortable. You just can’t go wrong with whatever style you pick, and you can be sure you’ll feel great in it, too!
