Sail away comfortably
Among the Helly Hansen brand's marine clothing, the Skagen range is designed for sailors who will be away from the coast for offshore sailing in all weather conditions. For this, the watch jacket that we were able to test during various sailings off the coast of Brittany in different conditions, guarantees the yachtsman to stay dry and warm.
All the attributes of a quality watch jacket
The Skagen jacket has all the adjustments and details you'd expect from a watch jacket of this level. The finishing touches are pretty neat.
The waterproofness is guaranteed at the wrists with internal adjustable rubber sleeves, then external scratch.
The pockets, of good size, allow both to keep within reach knife, gloves or other material and to warm the hands in the high pockets, lined in polar.
The lined collar is also comfortable. It is completed with a cleverly shaped headband closure that effectively protects the nose in strong winds, with a soft patch to prevent chafing. Once the hood is up, the sailor is well protected for sailing in all conditions.
Well-placed reflective stripes allow you to be visible.
Responsible materials
Staying in the lime requires innovative textile materials that are not always very durable. In a desire to protect the environment, Helly Hansen has worked to limit the impact of its clothing. The breakers used to stay dry do not use PFS or Perfluorocarbons. But above all the jacket is made from recycled materials Ocean Bound launched by Helly Hansen. 50% of the fabrics are made from plastic waste collected from the seaside for the brand.
Beyond the ecological display, we were seduced by the quality of the jacket and its comfortable cut.
The 2022 rate is 360euros TTC.
