My favourite layer for hiking — and almost anything. I wear this jacket most days of the year.
I bought 2 MORE Men’s Helly Hansen LIFALOFT
Hooded Insulator Jackets.
I fear Helly might stop making them one day.
The LIFALOFT jackets have been my favourite since 2019 when Kraig Becker sent me one.
LIFALOFT is not down. It’s arguably lighter and warmer.
The idea is to trap a maximum amount of air in a small space. And due to the hydrophobic properties of LIFA®, LIFALOFT has an inherent water repellency that seems to keep me warm, even when wet.
And I’ve drenched these jackets over the years.
They are light. Durable. Machine washable.
And relatively inexpensive. About half of what I would pay for a Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer/2 Hoody.
