Just as hiking differs from skiing and snowboarding, so too does the performance required from specialized winter jackets and pants. No matter how you like to charge in the winter, Helly Hansen designs winter shells and active insulation pieces to meet your needs.
These selections from the current winter lineup include techy shells to keep you comfortable on resort slopes, in the backcountry, and around the lodge. And this year, Helly Hansen wants to comp you a day on the slopes at one of more than 50 resorts in Europe and North America. See the details below.

Alpha 4.0 Ski Jacket — Men’s: $485
Helly Hansen uses a lot of well-regarded ingredients, but this resort ski jacket is dripping with high-performance and eco-friendlier materials, with a few updates this year. The two-layer shell uses a Helly Tech Professional tech, which dials the waterproofing and breathability for long missions in wet weather.
It has PrimaLoft Black Eco insulation body-mapped to protect your cold spots. The Alpha jacket also uses the brand’s H2Flow system, which helps vent or retain body heat as needed.
One update is the jacket’s fit, with a bit more articulation for a greater range of motion in this four-way stretch piece. Helly also added a Life Pocket to help preserve your phone’s battery out in the cold. As for ski-specific design details, there’s an adjustable stretch powderskirt, a detachable and helmet-compatible hood, a ski pass pocket, and wrist gaiters with thumb holes. (Ski Free eligible.)

Versalite Hybrid Fleece Jacket — Men’s: $125
The Versatile Hybrid Fleece Jacket is named that for a reason. It’s a more serious active layer that will keep your core warm while shielding you from the wind in front. It’s a good fit for higher-output activities like ski touring, mountaineering, and trail running. It has a high collar, thumb holes, and two zippered chest pockets.
This stretchy and quick-drying piece works as a jacket while on the move. If the weather turns and you need a true shell, it makes a warm midlayer.
