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 Trail Cutter

£50.00

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 ...
