Just as hiking is different from skiing and snowboarding, so too is the performance needed from specialized jackets and pants.
These highlights from the brand’s fall/winter lineup showcase the way Helly Hansen pairs insulation and shell tech to create a balance of breathability and warmth in different layers. Even within snowsports, some jackets are tailored to higher-output missions in the backcountry versus resort days.

Odin Stretch Hood Insulated — Men’s & Women’s: $269 & $260
This breathable hooded insulated jacket is a midlayer with an emphasis on warmth and performance through different temperatures. On its own, it should keep you warm and dry on hikes, mountaineering, and skiing in the backcountry.
In higher winds, a light shell can ward off wind and let the Odin’s breathable, synthetic insulation (PrimaLoft Gold Active +) trap more body heat. The jacket’s shell is made from a breathable and 100% recycled nylon ripstop fabric, making it both stretchy and durable.
