Verglas Jacket - Men's

The Helly Hansen Men’s Verglas Jacket lives for icy couloirs, deep powder days, and harsh mountain conditions. But hey, if it’s a sunny bluebird afternoon, this waterproof breathable 3-layer shell won’t judge. Mountain guides run into both on the regular, which is why they love the Verglas more than they love a client who tips well and buys the beers at the end of the day.

Made of burly and stretchy nylon that's decked out with a guaranteed waterproof and breathable Helly Tech Professional membrane, the Verglas is ultra-bomber without being unnecessarily complicated—you won't find any built-in GPS units or pocket espresso makers, just trim features like extra-long underarm vents, a zip-out powder skirt, and one-handed hood adjustment. It's built to be compatible with packs and harnesses so you don't have to sweat the details if you're on the skin track or rappelling into a filthy line, and also incorporates a DWR treatment to shed water if the precipitation isn't quite as cold as you'd like.
