The Helly Hansen Alpha Men's Long Shell Jacket is a premium, uninsulated three-layer waterproof shell built for hard resort and sidecountry days. A top-tier waterproof, breathable membrane seals out the worst weather while a longer, stretchy cut keeps you covered and mobile. It is the storm-ready shell for riders who layer their own warmth and charge in any conditions.

Why we like it:

The premium three-layer construction is the headline; it pairs top-tier waterproofing with 2-way stretch and a longer cut for serious coverage. A removable powder skirt, RECCO reflector, and Life Pocket round out a fully featured shell.

Features and Functions:

The Alpha Long Shell uses HELLY TECH Professional waterproof, breathable three-layer construction with a 2-way stretch fabric and fully sealed seams. A removable stretch powder skirt, adjustable hood, RECCO reflector, ventilation openings, and the insulated Life Pocket complete a premium ski shell.

Fit and Sizing:

A regular fit moves well over a midlayer with a longer length for coverage. True to size, with 2-way stretch and articulated sleeves.

Bottom Line:

For hard resort and sidecountry skiing in any weather, the Alpha Long Shell is best at premium, top-tier waterproof protection with extra coverage. A storm-ready shell for riders who run their own warmth.
