I have got a new ski jacket this winter, the HH women’s Powderqueen 3.0. At first look it looks like a cool city jacket but is great for the slopes!

I have been using this jacket all winter long so far, in London when it was negative temperatures, as well as in Aosta, where it was also super cold! In London I’ve used it under lots of rain in my outings to the park with my dog, and I can tell you that it repels the water very well.

When skiing in super cold days, I’ve used a mid-layer and that was great to survive in the minus 5 C winds on the chairlift! But I’ve also used it in other cold days without and it passed the test. I am a person that suffers a lot the cold really! More with age!

The jacket has a high collar that is great to close on cold lifts. I like that the jacket is longer, like a parka, and it fits very nice. The Powderqueen jacket also has a powder skirt that is compatible with the HH ski pants (don’t have them, so I cannot tell you about that), but the skirt closes well and keeps you dry in the eventuality of a fall or if you are skiing in deep powder (not that I had any deep powder yet, and also, I am rubbish at skiing in deep powder… just a little detail!)

The jacket has a battery pocket that keeps your phone battery warm and working for hours, which is a lovely feature. There is a RECCO device on the fabric.

There is a sleeve pocket for your ski pass, a mesh internal pouch for your goggles or beanies and two big pockets on the sides, one with a wiper for your lenses, which is always very functional.

The hood is ample as to put on top of the helmet, and you can make it smaller if you want to use it on top of your head or beanie. There are zips under your armpits, to regulate your body temperature (great for women with menopause!)

Overall, I think this jacket is a catch…. Get yours at Helly Hansen
