Why We Like The Helly Hansen Verglas BC Jacket
For optimal protection in deep conditions that won't hold us back, we kit up with Helly Hansen's Verglas BC Jacket.

Helly Hansen makes good quality ski gear, and in some instances, prices approaching Arc'Teryx, if not matching them. I got the jacket on a closeout, so for this review, price was not contention. The Verglas retails for $400, and it's designed for the skin track in my opinion. It fits decent and stretches nicely in the right places. Has a chest pocket, 2 hand pockets and vent zips. One thing it's not designed to do is deep powder or off-piste. It does not have a powder skirt. That's a deal breaker here in N. Utah. Some folks cut out the skirt on some jackets, and that's fine because they want to cut weight tracking uphill or for whatever reason So, overall the Verglas is not for the All mountain crew.

Awesome Jacket - Just Size Down!

- S
Love this jacket, it's super comfortable. I'm almost always a medium at 5'10" 160lbs, but after reading the reviews I sized down to a small and it fits perfectly in all aspects even with a base layer and midlayer on underneath. Only con for me is that the chest pocket is a little small, it's a struggle to get my phone in and out.

I have several Helly Hansen ski jackets all in size large, so I ordered this one in large as well. The jacket came in today and it is huge, size X-Large. I called to have it exchanged with Backcountry, but they refuse to exchange it for a size medium. This is the last time I am using backcountry for any of my outdoor gear.

High quality softshell

Lots of nice features in the jacket, very solid construction, and plush soft shell material. Sizing a little bulky for me as someone with a slimmer runner's build. Overall, felt it was a bit too heavy for my everyday backcountry workhorse. Returned this and kept the Patagonia Stormstride Jacket, which checks in a full 9oz lighter without being flimsy. Also, didn't like the somewhat small side zip vents vs. full pit zips.

Look no further!
I'm really amazed by the quality of this shell. It's burlier than I was expecting, and the green color looks sick too. I did go for the medium size after reading the reviews of people who usually wear large that got mediums. Good call, the medium fits perfect with layers.

Nice jacket but...

It's pretty decent jacket and I like it overall... As a shell jacket, it protects me from wind and moisture pretty well as advertised. But like others indicated, the size and design of the size are a little odd. I know I'm slim runners built (5'10'' and 140lbs) and wear S size from TNF summit series shell jacket, but this one feels much bigger especially around chest/shoulder area. The good thing is I can wear even with thick fleece jacket when riding colder days. Comparing with my go to shell jacket (TNF), it feels a little heavier too. It does not have the pocket for my pass like all other jackets have. It does not have powder skirt inside either. Maybe because it's for BC purposes, but I don't think it's hard to make them for convenience.
