The Helly Hansen Women's Crew Hooded Pile Jacket represents the perfect fusion of maritime heritage and modern technical innovation. Inspired by classic pile designs that have protected sailors for generations, this contemporary interpretation incorporates cutting-edge materials and construction techniques to meet the demands of today's sailing enthusiasts and coastal adventurers.
At the heart of this jacket's performance lies HELLY TECH® Protection technology, a sophisticated 2-layer construction that delivers reliable waterproofness while maintaining breathability. Every seam is fully sealed to ensure complete protection from the elements, whilst the PFC-free DWR treatment provides an additional layer of water repellency that beads moisture away from the fabric surface.
The standout feature is undoubtedly the pile fleece lining that extends throughout the body and collar, providing exceptional warmth without excessive bulk. This recycled polyester insulation not only delivers superior thermal efficiency but also reflects Helly Hansen's commitment to sustainable practices. The fleece-lined hand pockets offer a welcome refuge for cold fingers, whilst the adjustable cuffs and hem draw cord allow you to fine-tune the fit and seal out drafts.
Practical design elements abound, from the packable hood that stows neatly into the collar when not needed, to the mesh hood lining that prevents overheating during active use. The inclusion of both internal and external hanging loops demonstrates thoughtful attention to real-world usage, whilst the chest pocket provides secure storage for essentials. High-quality YKK® zippers ensure smooth, reliable operation even in challenging conditions.
With excellent windproof performance and durability, this jacket excels in its intended environments: coastal sailing, inshore sailing, and marine lifestyle activities. The lighter weight strikes an optimal balance between protection and mobility, making it suitable for active sailing manoeuvres as well as more relaxed harbour-side wear.
Whether you're trimming sails in a winter squall or enjoying a crisp morning walk along the harbour, the Women's Crew Hooded Pile Jacket delivers the warmth, protection, and style that have made Helly Hansen a trusted name in marine apparel for over 140 years.
