The original fiber pile of fleece, is the brands signature material created by HELLY HANSEN to protect the fishermen who work in the extreme cold. It features a classic feel with a boa feel, and has excellent heat retention. Green Material uses recycled thread from plastic bottles that are made from environmentally friendly material that has a slightly short pile and a light touch. The hooded jacket keeps you warm up to the head when you wear the hood. The front is double zippered, so you can enjoy a variety of styles. Both sides have warm hand warmer pockets when you put your hands in, and the vessel design on the top of the pocket adds a subtle accent. The sleeves and hems have a neat binder design that makes it easy to layer as a middle layer.
