Lifaloft Hooded Insulator Jacket - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“I use this jacket constantly as a lightweight midlayer for skiing and as an outer layer for cool, drizzly hikes. It traps heat surprisingly well for how light it is, and it still performs when conditions get damp. The trim fit layers cleanly under a shell without feeling restrictive.”

We count on the Lifaloft Hooded Insulator Jacket when conditions sit squarely in that unpredictable middle ground. Designed by Helly Hansen for active days outdoors, it works just as well blocking wind on shoulder-season hikes as it does adding warmth under a shell at the resort. It’s the layer we keep close when weather forecasts are uncertain but plans aren’t.

The wind-resistant nylon shell sheds light rain and snow, while Lifaloft synthetic insulation delivers reliable warmth even in wet conditions. Elastic cuffs, a fitted hood, and an adjustable hem help seal in heat when temperatures drop, and the lightweight construction makes it easy to pack or wear all day. From trailhead starts to chairlift rides, this jacket brings adaptable insulation without unnecessary bulk.
