Marmot Women's Waypoint GORE-TEX Jacket vs Helly Hansen Verglas Infinity Shell
The Marmot Waypoint is the better pick for most shoppers: its GORE-TEX membrane is rated higher on both waterproofing and breathability, and the 2-layer build with DriClime lining packs smaller. The Helly Hansen Verglas Infinity is a true 3-layer shell built for backcountry skiing, with a stiffer, more protective face fabric and a helmet-friendly hood. Owners of both praise the weather protection; the Marmot draws more complaints about the fixed hood and the lining feeling clammy on hard climbs, while the Helly draws complaints about its weight and crinkly feel.
- Choose the Marmot Waypoint if you want a lighter, more breathable GORE-TEX rain jacket for day hikes, commutes and weekend trips.
- Choose the Helly Hansen Verglas Infinity if you ski tour or ride in wet, windy alpine weather and want a burly 3-layer shell.
