Review on Helly Hansen Alpha Jacket Black Outdoor Recreation and Outdoor Clothing by Tarrance Man

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High-quality, very warm/waterproof ski jacket.

This jacket meets all the requirements of a high-performance insulated ski jacket. Now I'm deciding on a cross country/resort ski jacket. I've now tested it in wet snow and very cold conditions (-8 F) and it was completely dry and comfortable. Well-sealed seams, high-quality zippers and a fluffy skirt around the waist perfectly protect against wind and snow. It's also soft, flexible, and lightweight, making it very comfortable for all-day skiing and chairlift riding. Life Pocket really extended my phone's battery life on cold days when running the GPS resort app to track my ski stats. The best insulated jacket I've skied in in 45 years of gear testing. Bonus: my partner also says he's really good looking. Should have bought earlier.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Almost never
