When winter arrives, there are two types of people – those who happily embrace the great outdoors, whatever the weather, and those who take one look out of the window, spot a touch of frost and decide that staying indoors with a cup of tea is definitely the better option! I’m firmly in the first camp, although I do like to be warm and cosy while I’m out and about.
My current favourite winter coat is the Helly Hansen Adore Puffy Jacket, which has quickly become my go-to coat now that temperatures have started to drop. It’s lovely and cosy, with a water-resistant outer fabric, so although I wouldn’t choose to wear it in heavy rain, it will happily cope with the occasional unexpected shower. The jacket features synthetic blowable insulation, which helps to trap warmth close to the body, and I’ve been really impressed with how lovely and warm it’s kept me on my walks.
The jacket has two zipped hand pockets with a lovely soft brushed lining which is perfect for warming up my hands when I’m out walking. There’s also a zipped chest pocket which is ideal for keeping my phone and keys handy.
Getting the right fit in a coat isn’t always easy, particularly when you are buying online and I found Helly Hansen’s online size guide was really helpful and easy to use. After entering my measurements it suggested the XL coat and it fits me beautifully. The sleeves are plenty long enough and there’s enough room underneath for an extra jumper on particularly chilly days. The hood is a good size, too, and stays nicely in place when the coat is fully zipped up, no matter how much the wind blows.
The coat is available in five colours and I opted for black because it goes with absolutely everything. I’ve worn it with jeans, walking trousers and leggings and I wear it with a bright hat or a cheerful scarf to brighten up those grey winter days.
If you’re looking to treat yourself or a loved one to a new winter coat, the Helly Hansen Adore Puffy Jacket is definitely worth considering. It’s practical, comfortable and stylish, and perfect for everything from countryside walks and dog walking to the school run or a spot of Christmas shopping.
Available in sizes XS to XL, the Adore Puffy Jacket comes in five colours: Elmwood, Purple Clay, Bright Blue, Black and Navy.
