Helly Hansen 74140 Chelsea Evolution Hooded Softshell Jacket

The Chelsea Evolution Hooded Softshell Jacket is a versatile outer layer designed for outdoor enthusiasts and everyday explorers alike. It combines weather protection with exceptional mobility, thanks to advanced fabric technology and smart seam choices.

• Softshell fabric with membrane and fleece backing: Delivers wind and water resistance while providing warmth without bulk, making it suitable for changing conditions.
• 4-way stretch back panel: Strategically placed for maximum movability across the upper back during dynamic activities.
• No shoulder seams: Enhances water repellency and reduces seam-related leaks in wet weather.
• Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish: Helps shed moisture and keeps the outer layer drier during light rain or mist.
• Adjustable hood: Drawcord-adjustable hood for a secure, snug fit in windy or rainy conditions.
• YKK front zipper with chin protector: Smooth operation with a soft guard to prevent chafing at the chin.
• Chest pocket with YKK zipper and headphone cord hole: Secure storage and convenient cable routing for on-the-go listening.
• Hand pockets with YKK zippers and brushed lining: Keep hands warm and valuables secure; brushed lining adds comfort against the skin.
• Articulated sleeves: Tailored for full range of motion in activities like hiking, climbing, or cycling.
• Adjustable cuffs and hem: Seal out drafts and fine-tune fit for layering or performance wear.
• ID card loop: Practical feature for work or access-based environments.
• Extended back hem: Extra coverage when bending or reaching, helping to keep the elements out.
• Fabric composition: Main fabric face 92% Polyester, 8% Elastane (305 g/m²); secondary fabric 93% Polyamide, 7% Elastane (310 g/m²) for durability, stretch, and structure.
• Care and maintenance: Machine wash at 40°C (lukewarm); avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning to preserve fit, membrane performance, and DWR.

With its combination of weather resistance, strategic stretch, and practical design details, this jacket is built to perform in wet or windy conditions while staying comfortable through long days of activity. It’s ideal for hikers, urban commuters, travelers, and anyone who values a single, reliable outer layer that adapts to changing weather and movement.
