Helly Hansen Brings Warmth and Breathability to Mountaineers with New Verglas Light Jacket

OSLO, Norway — July 14, 2017

Since 1877 Helly Hansen has worked closely with mountain professionals to create technical apparel built to withstand the harshest environments on the planet. Knowing that cold temperatures don’t only occur during winter months, Helly Hansen now brings its classic performance Verglas line of Allied-down filled jackets to the spring and summer months.

To accommodate the spring and summer mountain adventurer who values layering for temperamental days outside, Helly Hansen introduces the Verglas Light Jacket for men and women. This hybrid jacket with 800-fill Allied down in a 25D lightweight fabric and softshell mix is designed to offer warmth when needed, and allows for maximum breathability and quick release of excess heat during exertion. Hi vis detailing on the back hem and hood offer maximum visibility, slim cuffs with stretch binding allow for easy layering and mobility, and PFC-free DWR coating across the jacket allows for multi-use as a midlayer or outer layer.

With over 55,000 mountain professionals outfitted head to toe in Helly Hansen each year, the brand is able to incorporate user feedback and trusted technologies to create purposefully designed products that are relevant to the locations and conditions the apparel is used in. See all Verglas pieces this July at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market.
