The $900 Helly Hansen Supreme Jacket for Versatile Warmth

Helly Hansen Jacket

A winter jacket is the one of the most important articles of clothing for anyone to have in an area where it gets cold. In areas of the world where it dips down into the negatives, jackets are a must and they are typically large and bulky. So what if you are looking for one of the best jackets money can buy? One packed with features, state-of-the-art fabrics, and is just downright comfortable? Well if you are looking for a high-quality winter jacket consider the Supreme Jacket from Helly Hansen.

Helly Hansen is a Norwegian company that produces textiles and various gear for the outdoors, with their specialty being jackets. If anyone knows the cold, it would be the Norwegians, and their Supreme Jacket is their flagship jacket for the winter. The jacket is made to compete with large, down-feather jackets that people take to Antartica. What makes this jacket attractive is that it is very small and form fitting. Despite being small, it’s nearly perfect for all winter conditions. The jacket is especially to be used by skiers due to some of its features.

The Supreme Jacket features Helly Tech 4-way Stretch fabric as the exterior layer to keep you warm, breathable, waterproof, comfortable, and to cut down on the wind. The inside of the jacket is made from Primaloft Gold Down Blend Insulation, a unique mixture of synthetic materials and goose down to keep you warm. Additionally the jacket also features a “H2Flow” Temperature Regulating System, which are a system of laser-cut vents to trap warm air within the jacket an keep you warm.

Now this jacket is fairly expensive at $900 dollars, but for what it is, it’s pretty amazing. Some skiers have even been known to hit the slopes wearing only a t-shirt under the Supreme Jacket, reaching the bottom of the mountain covered in sweat. Yeah, it’s just that warm, provided you stay relatively active. So if you are a skier, a snowboarder, or any other type of active winter person this is arguably the best jacket that you can buy.
