Helly Hansen Windproof Jackets Make Running in Marginal Weather a Breeze
OSLO, NORWAY (Spring 2011) -- Cool mornings and misty evenings are often the best time to embark on training runs yet variable weather conditions can make dressing for the outdoors a challenge. Runners need slight protection from the elements yet ample breathability so they don’t overheat.
Helly Hansen, the most experienced outdoor performance apparel brand, this season introduces a series of lightweight, highly breathable, windproof and weather resistant jackets and wind shirts to help runners stay comfortable in cooler conditions. The second-layer jackets in men’s and women’s sizes complement Helly’s new Pace collection of technical training jerseys, shorts and tights.
The all-new Windfoil Jacket is exceptionally versatile with its bolero style zip-off sleeve design. The convertible jacket is made with a windproof microfiber fabric detailed with reflective trims and elastic cuffs. The minimalist jacket can be stuff into a packable pocket for storage when the weather warms.
Features:
- Microfiber windproof fabric
- Packable pocket
- Reflective trim

- Zip-off sleeves
The Stratos Windshirt is a lightweight (include weight here) windbreaker with LIFA® Stay Dry TechnologyTM on the interior.
