- Is the Lifaloft Hybrid waterproof?
- No. It is water-repellent and windproof, so it handles light snow and drizzle, but it is not a rain jacket. Wear a hardshell over it in steady rain.
- How does it compare with the Patagonia Nano-Air?
- Both are body-mapped active insulators. The Helly is more wind- and water-resistant; the Nano-Air is more breathable and stretchier throughout.
- What size should I order?
- It runs slim. If you plan to layer a fleece underneath or have a broad chest, size up one from your usual Helly Hansen size.
- Can I wear it on its own in winter?
- In dry, mild cold it works alone. In deep cold or wet weather, use it as a midlayer under a shell.
- What is Lifaloft insulation?
- It is Helly Hansen's synthetic insulation, a lightweight fiber blend designed to stay warm when damp and pack down small.
- Does it have a hood?
- No, this hybrid jacket is hoodless, which makes it easier to layer under a helmet-compatible shell.
- Where is the Helly Hansen Men's LIFALOFT Hybrid Insulated Jacket cheapest?
- At Helly Hansen, for $215.00, as of our latest check.
