Helly Hansen Aurora Shell Jacket

Strengths:
+ Large hood with collar that can be expanded if you, like me, have a big head.
+ Luvan's adjustments are on the outside and are easy to access even with mittens.
+ Details in warning color that make you look good in poor visibility.
+ Large Velcro adjustments in the sleeves that make mittens fit both inside and outside the sleeve.
+ Tight and nice snow lock at the waist that can be snapped together with the pants (however, the snow lock is not removable).
+ Super-smart insulated mobile pocket.
+ Good ventilation openings under the arms, actually think that it is smoother with one-way zipper than two-way which I am used to.
+ Large mesh inner pocket, lift card pocket on the arm, wrist heater, plaster cloth, Recco ... Many good things!

Weaknesses:
- The main zipper sometimes gets stuck, the others are of a different model and much better.
- The isolated mobile pocket is located where I usually have the transceiver.
- The high collar is nice when the hat is on, but a little well high and big otherwise.
- The side pockets are spacious and good, but end up under the waistband when I wear my backpack.

Summary:
The jacket is relaxed in the model but has a good lady-fit which makes it not feel clumsy. I am 163cm / 60kg and have tested size M. Bruker has S or M on jackets and thinks that this is good on me.

The fabric is solid and durable. I might not primarily recommend the jacket to anyone who has intended to be excessively active, but clearly to a more all-round user.

In summary, it is a ski-specific jacket with everything you expect and several nice features that make it special!
