When hiking in the shoulder seasons, it's always good to stay prepared for changing weather. The Helly Hansen Blaze Softshell Hooded Jacket is one of our favorite softshell jackets and keeps us covered with lightweight warmth and weather protection. The four-way stretch nylon softshell is wind- and water-resistant, so we stay protected from drizzling rains and mild winds, and the adjustable hood and hem allow us to cinch up the jacket to keep out the cold weather.
