Helly Hansen LIFALOFT Hooded Insulator Jacket

Warmth without bulk: LIFALOFT™ insulated hoodie for lightweight, compressible insulation in cold-weather missions.

The Helly Hansen LIFALOFT™ Hooded Insulator Jacket brings advanced synthetic insulation into the tactical space. Designed in collaboration with PrimaLoft®, LIFALOFT™ delivers more heat per ounce than standard synthetics, while staying light and compressible.

Built for layering or solo wear, the shell is windproof and treated with a PFC-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish to shed light precipitation. The jacket is fiber- and down-proof, meaning insulation stays in place under load or movement.

On European test reviews it weighs ~13 oz for a men’s size large, retaining loft after compression. It performs best as a mid-layer under a shell in wet or windy conditions, or as a standalone outer layer in moderate climates.

Expect this jacket to become a go-to for cold-weather patrols, alpine travel, or layering systems where weight and warmth must be balanced.
