I had the chance to try the Helly Hansen ULLR Freeride Jacket all this summer and autumn. A great light jacket for all your outdoor adventures, also for skiing when you are skiing up the mountain, as it protects you without the bulk. If you are a bit of a cold bunny, you can always wear a mid-layer for colder days!
I love its colour, it special pocket to preserve your mobile battery, and the zips you have under your armpits that you can open when you start getting hot going up the mountain. The pockets are well located and have a good capacity.
I have yet to use it skiing, but in the summer in my hikes, and under torrential rain in all my trips, it worked perfectly well.
The hood is designed for covering a helmet, but you can regulate to use it without one, and it sits perfectly well on your head. The cuffs have an elasticated space to place your hand when weather is cold, so you can use your fingers but gives you some warmth if you need to do something without gloves. I love this feature in jackets.
The jacket has RECCO technology that facilitates rescue professionals making you searchable. Overall, I think it is a great jacket to wear! I’ll try it this December when I go skiing! Can’t wait!
