What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've worn the Stowe Hooded Hybrid Jacket for exactly what it's built for, standing around a fire pit after a day on the mountain and then again just running errands back home. The pile fleece lining makes it feel warmer than the light insulation would suggest on its own."Apres ski was never really about the skiing part, and the Stowe Hooded Hybrid Jacket from Helly Hansen understands that better than most, built for the standing around, catching up, and staying warm that happens once the boots come off. It works just as well back in town for anything that calls for warmth without the bulk of a full ski shell. Lightweight insulation pairs with a pile fleece lining for a hybrid warmth that feels heavier than the specs suggest, while the adjustable hood with drawcord keeps wind out during a cold walk between the lodge and the car. Zippered hand pockets round it out, keeping the whole jacket as practical for a city evening as it is for a mountain one.
