Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Sogn Shell 2.0 is a professional-grade technical jacket designed for backcountry skiers and freeride enthusiasts who demand reliable weather protection in harsh mountain environments. Utilizing advanced 3-layer fabric technology, this shell offers exceptional waterproofing and breathability to keep you dry during deep powder days, though as a non-insulated shell, it requires a strategic layering system to manage warmth in extreme sub-zero temperatures.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, the Sogn Shell 2.0 is a 3-layer shell designed to provide protection from the elements while allowing you to customize your warmth through layering.

Does it include a built-in avalanche transceiver?

No, it features a Recco reflector for search-and-rescue purposes; you must still carry a dedicated avalanche transceiver, probe, and shovel.

Is the hood compatible with a bike helmet?

The hood is specifically designed for ski and mountaineering helmets, though it may fit a bike helmet depending on the size and shape of the helmet.

How should I wash this jacket?

Use a specialized technical detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can strip the technical DWR coating.

Can the vents be used as pockets?

Yes, the underarm ventilation zippers are designed with internal mesh, allowing them to function as secondary storage for light items.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off

The DWR finish has worn off. Wash the jacket and reapply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment to restore performance.

Internal condensation buildup during activity

Ensure your layering system uses synthetic or wool materials rather than cotton, and open the ventilation zippers earlier in your ascent to release heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Helly Tech membrane, follow these guidelines:

  1. Layering: Wear a moisture-wicking base layer and a thermal mid-layer, such as a fleece or lightweight down jacket, depending on the temperature.
  2. Cleaning: Wash the jacket using a technical garment cleaner designed for waterproof shells to avoid damaging the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
  3. Reactivation: Periodically tumble dry the jacket on low heat or iron it on a cool setting (with a towel between the iron and jacket) to help maintain the water-beading performance of the outer fabric.
  4. Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place and avoid hanging it in direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent material degradation.
