Helly Hansen Verglas Hybrid (2012)

£200.00

This is a bulkier affair than many of the soft shells out there, and feels well-suited to colder days thanks to its chunky, insulating material and a fleecy lining to trap heat. The extra-long collar is designed to fit over the face when it’s really cold, with vent holes cut into it too. In an effort to maintain water repellence, ...

Helly Hansen Cross Insulator (2012)

£120.00

A classic mid-layer insulator jacket, in a bit of a 1970s ski jacket style. The synthetic fill allows it to work even in the wet and it’s not too thick so it fits under a shell easily enough. The relatively short cut of the body also helps with mid-layer performance. When used as a mid-layer, it can be a bit ...

Helly Hansen Trackfinder

£70.00

TheTrackfinders are very lightweight shoes that look and feel more like a stiff trainer than a multi-activity shoe. There’s a decent amount of lateral stiffness in the midsole, but a very flexible toe restricts them to use on flat trails only. They’re distinct from other women’s shoes as they don’t have a waterproof lining. This doesn’t mean you should dismiss ...

Helly Hansen Ekolab Rapide

£102.00

Helly Hansen’s Ekolab products are designed to protect you from bad weather without damaging the planet. The Rapide has an athletic cut, so it’s figure-hugging with clean lines, and a flattering fit that reaches down to the top of the hips. The polyester fabric is part-recycled, and with spandex added too, it’s super-stretchy and very easy to swing your arms ...

Helly Hansen Verglas Hybrid

£65.00

Helly’s thick 3-Layer fabric combined with a very high roll-neck make the Verglas Hybrid a very warm base-layer. The sizing feels a bit on the small side, but the fabric relaxes a bit with wear. The hem and cuffs are both quite long, and cover the hips and wrists well, even when reaching forward. And the cuffs are tight-fitting with ...

Helly Hansen Zera

£180.00

A nice looking jacket that’s mesh-lined throughout, with a soft external, waterproof shell. It comes with a removable insulated lining that is fastened with press studs, creating a really warm, although bulky, winter walking jacket. It’s got wide, adjustable cuffs that pull up easily to the elbows, and a lovely high, fleece-lined collar to hide your face in. The Helly ...

Helly Hansen K Shelter 2010

£70.00

The Helly Hansen K Shelter has two extremely large panels of reflective material on the sleeves, which makes this jacket extremely easy to see at night. The jacket also has a removable hood that is attached with press studs. It is also notable that the cuffs and hem of the jacket are reinforced so they should last a lot longer ...

Helly Hansen’s The Korker weighs 852g (pair, size 11); mesh upper for good breathability; leather reinforcement adds durability; aggressive outsole for good grip; very close fit for dexterous movement.

Helly Hansen Hybrid base layer

£60.00

A lovely warm top that also performed really well on moisture management. The test sample (size M) was an incredibly snug fit and also a little short, but this did aid the speed with which the fabric moved perspiration, and there’s enough stretch in the underarm panels to ensure movement is never hampered. The collar is quite high and fitted ...

Helly Hansen Beck II 2009

£50.00

The Helly Hansen Beck II is a good sandal with a three-point Velcro adjustment, and this is neatly produced. The straps are synthetic too so they are fast-drying, unlike many of the leather-strap sandals here. Good padding on the straps adds welcome comfort to the top of the foot. Underfoot there is a stiff sole unit with a good lug ...

HELLY HANSEN ICE CREW

Review: Merino/polypropylene fabric is good and the crew-neck is comfortable and stylish, but it lacks the versatility of zip-neck rivals. It performed well, though, wicking superbly and coping with a reasonably wide range of temperatures. It also offers lots of stretch so it’s easy to move in, too.

Helly Hansen Trail Cutter

This is a very lightweight trail-running shoe that offers unique performance. In particular you get a very breathable upper, but one that’s able to fend off the worst of the water. We also like the extra abrasion-resistant reinforcement around the lower sides and toe to protect the shoe in undergrowth or on scree. The shoe has a very low profile ...
