Helly HansenHelly Hansen Men's Lifaloft Insulator Jacket

I’ve worn the jacket a few times now it looks good, don’t be fooled by how light it is it’s really warm, definitely recommend

Comfortable and warm

I'm 5ft11 and large build, the jacket has some problems with the fit, it tends to shift around a lot and hang loosely, it's not that it's too big for me but rather that the proportions of the sleeves and torso area are incompatible with each other. It can get uncomfortable during wear due to this but I did get accustomed to it over time.It looks neat and smart, it's appropriate for smart-casual attire and fits well over a blazer or jacket. It's waterproof and prevents clothes underneath getting wet but it doesn't prevent the cold effectively, as it is a very thin jacket the padding is ineffective against the cold. I don't recommend this for winter, it's more of an autumny jacket.The stitching and seams are well made, the zipper works well and feels premium. The main material feels delicate, I've collected a few scrapes and scratches from light brushes with walls and doors etc.Overall, I recommend checking the measurements prior to purchase and would not recommend this for staying warm. It's fits smart-casual attire, generally well made and fits snug with blazers.

Looks good and is nice and warm.

Horrible fit and looks cheap

Fabulous jacket, really warm spring/autumn jacket that fits really well. I paid £69.00 for it and it is definitely worth that! 2 years on the jacket on the inside if the zip is starting to fall to bits and was looking at buying a replacement, unfortunately it’s now£127.00 and it’s not really worth that much!!

Really love this jacket which is excellent quality. You can tell by the construction of the jacket with beautiful seams that it's quality.The styling is a big plus, especially the quilting pattern and it has just enough collar. The discreet HH logo is a great addition. It's a matte style but not totally flat. There's a little sheen but not shiny. It has an internal "draft strip" behind the zip which adds to the wind resistance and is often overlooked in other jackets.It's a good for with just the right amount of ease and excellent motion in the arms/shoulders. It's very easy to get on and off which also makes it comfy to move in and the sleeves don't drag when reaching for something. So far it seems seems static-free, always a bonus with these sort of puffer jackets.It really is incredibly thin and light whilst remaining warm. You can pack it down well (having a stuff bag included would make this much better).It stands up to rain showers well, the rain beaded up on the fabric. It includes a hanging hook. The pockets have lovely lining which seems to be thermal and feels lovely. The pockets are deep enough with a good design so that things don't fall out of the pockets easily (as sometimes things like your phone can slide out of the pockets but here everything is nice a secure).If I could wish for anything to improve on it would be the addition of a two-way zipper. In fact that's something I always hope to see on a jacket of this price aimed at outdoorsy people. It just makes sitting so much more comfortable. To it's credit this jacket doesn't tend to bunch or crease when sitting but a two way zip would just ease things around the hips/waist a bit.By the way it has great zip pulls which are a little bigger than normal. You do need to use two hands to zip if it goes all the way to the top but this is because the collar isn't stiffened and is only a minor thing. There's an elastic drawcord if you want to cinch in the waistband more.Really very pleased with this jacket and amazed both by the quality and the light compact warmth it provides.

After just 48 hours of use I am loving this lightweight jacket. At first glance it’s hard to believe that something so thin could keep you warm, yet as the temperatures dropped into single figures, I was toasty in just t-shirt, thin jumper and this coat.The coat looks the part too, really smart and slick. For me this look like the ideal jacket for the autumn and milder winter months.
