Helly Hansen Ask & Embla jackets
Promise
Helly’s expertise in keeping you warm and dry, lavished on two luxury designs for men and women.
Performance
You know the moment: it’s the depths of winter and you’re at a bus stop. It’s freezing. Even your teeth are cold. Then you see someone ahead of you. They’re not shivering. They’re wearing what looks like the warmest coat you’ve ever seen. This is going to be that jacket for the winter season folks. These two new him & her designs from Helly Hansen are knee-length, all-season jackets with a three-layer breathable construction, and a removable goose down liner. It gets really clever when you look harder, too: colder areas get extra down wadding, while areas that need to breathe are panelled with fleece. Tall collars, a waist belt and adjustable cuffs guarantee that the elements stay where they belong.
Verdict
A truly great jacket should be an investment: it should tick both the practical and the beautiful boxes. Helly Hansen have a great knack for doing both, as you’ve probably already decided.
