Outdoor apparel that is versatile offers the benefit of practicality. Having a piece of apparel that looks good at work and on a woodlands trail makes it more feasible to purchase since it will be put to regular use.

It can be a challenge though, because not all apparel can meet the standard of what is acceptable at work and still be functional for active pursuits. 

The jacket is not bulky which makes it ideal for layering. A mid layer such as a polar fleece pullover and a comfortable base layer would make for a toasty combination in the cold winter months.  It keeps its warmth even when worn on its own without a mid layer.  It can also serve as a mid layer with a hard shell jacket on top.

The Helly Hansen Converter Softshell Jacket has a spacious zip-pocket on the left breast of the jacket. A car key and some spare cash can easily be tucked into it before a day of cooler weather hiking starts. Two zippered pockets flank each side of the jacket and a draw string at the bottom of the coat makes it fit snugly.

Two large mesh pockets are located in the interior of the Converter. The attached hood is adjustable by drawstrings. The adjustable cuffs of the jacket are spacious which give plenty of room even bulkier ski gloves.

The Helly Hansen Converter Softshell Jacket is a versatile jacket for formal and informal occasions. It looks great and is functionally great too. Helly Hansen manufactures the jacket in 3 color schemes – water blue/light gray, choko brown/walnut and black. It comes in standard sizes S to XXL. It has an MSRP of $200 and carries Helly Hansen limited lifetime warranty from defects in workmanship and materials.
