Helly Hansen's Vanern Midlayer Full Zip Jacket was designed with shoulder seasons in mind. The wind-resistant fleece can easily be layered for cold weather activities, but when it starts to warm up, this jacket also does great alone. The shoulders and hood are water-resistant to encourage water to bead off during unexpected spring showers or late fall snow flurries. The brushed fleece lining is cozy and soft and will keep you happy and warm during hikes, walks, and as a midlayer while skiing.
