Helly Hansen Oxford Softshell Jacket Review
Build Canada Magazine | Jason Alexander For outdoor construction work, meeting a new client, or going on brisk morning dog walks in the winter months, the Oxford Hooded Softshell Winter Jacket by Helly Hansen is a welcome addition to your arsenal, delivering a great big dose of warmth whenever the cold starts to bite. On brand for Helly Hansen’s Workwear line, the style of the Oxford manages to bridge the gap between rugged comfort and functionality with a pile fleece lining, a detachable, adjustable hood, and rib-knit bottom sleeve and hem. The functional Oxford style is both rugged and professional, making it suitable for construction sites while also serving as a polished jacket that tradespeople can wear when meeting new clients. It’s insulated with Pile fleece lining and makes the Oxford lightweight while effectively keeping your core warm. The Oxford has no shoulder seams, and provides slightly less insulation on the arms, allowing for greater freedom of movement. I appreciate the spacious pockets, which seem even larger, along with the robust YKK zippers. Additionally, it features a high-performance membrane that helps keep the rain at bay. While it may not be completely waterproof, it will protect you from a light shower. This jacket is perfect for individuals who prioritize versatility. It seamlessly transitions between various winter workwear and leisure activities with ease. It provides warmth even when temperatures plummet into the single digits here in Ontario, and you can enhance its effectiveness by layering with additional winter gear. With its high-quality construction, practical features, and understated style, this jacket will quickly become a go-to piece in your wardrobe. More Information
