"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I wore this vest through a stretch of cold mornings, and it nailed that in-between layer feel. The insulation keeps my core warm without overheating, and I like how easy it is to throw over a hoodie or under a shell when temps drop.""Cold mornings in the city call for layers that move with us, and the Escape Insulated Vest from Helly Hansen fits right into that rhythm. Whether we’re heading out the door for a brisk commute or layering up for a weekend coffee run, it adds just enough warmth without slowing us down. The clean look transitions easily from outdoor errands to indoor stops, making it a go-to piece when the day keeps moving. Lightweight PrimaLoft® BLACK Eco insulation holds warmth close without adding bulk, while the high collar and storm flap help block out chill when the wind picks up. Zippered hand pockets keep essentials secure, and the adjustable hem lets us dial in the fit depending on how we layer it. With recycled materials and a PFC-free DWR finish, it’s built for everyday wear with thoughtful performance baked in."
