Description of Helly Hansen Granite Jacket - Men's:
When blowing snow and bone-chilling temperatures can’t keep you cooped up in the house, pull on the Helly Hansen Men’s Granite Jacket, and enjoy a comforting combination of waterproof protection and cozy warmth when you head out to enjoy the day. The tough Helly Tech XP shell blocks foul weather, while the Thinsulate synthetic insulation retains warmth even when it gets wet. The mesh lining slides easily over your layers, and the Granite Jacket can be connected to your winter pants to create a snow-proof seal. Stretch panels at critical points help provide flexibility when skiing or snowshoeing, and the full Underarm zips help you regulate when you’re overheating.
This is hand's down the most pimp Helly jacket I have ever seen (although you could definitely make an argument for the Odin Mountain Jacket as well)! The style is fresh, the colors are poppin' and spot on and the tech is sick! With Helly's Tech XP this piece boasts excellent water and wind proof technology. Diggin' it hard!
I'm a big fan of jkts like the Granite. Its got all the technical features you could want, plus just enough insulation to keep ya warm but not roasting after that long pow run. Color and design is self explanatory, the hot blue with white zippers is dope. It also is true to size for the freeriding culture...a large is a large, baggy yet not over the top.
I wear this jacket. period!
This is a great jacket for any type of skiing or snowboarding. I wore it hiking in on Teton Pass in February and riding at Mt. Hood in June and July. Hands down, it's a quiver within itself. The colors are ballin' too.
