- High collar with anti-chafe chin guard
- Zipped chest pocket and zipped hand pockets
- bluesign® main material, GRS-certified product
- DWR only, not waterproof: needs a shell in rain
- Midlayer, not an insulated ski jacket on its own
- Sportswear fleece, not for climbing or high-alpine
The Helly Hansen Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket is a women's pile fleece jacket in a regular fit. It is designed as a winter midlayer under a ski or outdoor shell and as a transitional jacket on its own. It has a colour-block design, raglan sleeves, a high collar with an anti-chafe chin guard, and zipped chest and hand pockets.
Who is the Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket for?
The Helly Hansen Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket suits women who want one fleece layer for ski days and the rest of the week. Wear it under a shell for resort or off-piste skiing, and on its own for hiking, camping, commuting and city life. It is not a ski jacket. On the piste or off-piste it needs a shell over it, and it is not built for technical climbing or high-alpine mountaineering.
How warm and how water-resistant is the Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket?
The Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket adds warmth through its pile fleece construction, which is its job as a midlayer. The surface has a DWR treatment that makes it water repellent. There is no waterproof membrane, so the jacket is not waterproof. In rain or wet snow, wear a waterproof shell over it.
Which size should I choose for the Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket?
The Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket has a regular fit, cut to work both under an outer jacket and as a jacket on its own. Raglan sleeves and a high collar complete the cut. Sizing follows Helly Hansen's women's midlayer size chart. Measure your chest and compare it with the size chart on this product page before you order. If you plan to wear it under a shell, check that your shell has room for a fleece layer.
How is the Helly Hansen Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket built?
The Helly Hansen Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket combines a pile fleece body with an overlay fabric. The shell fabric is 100% polyester, a second shell fabric is 100% polyamide, and the trim fabric is 100% polyester. Flatlock seams lie flat against the body, so they do not press or rub when the fleece sits under a backpack strap or an outer jacket. The raglan sleeves run from the collar to the underarm instead of having a seam on top of the shoulder. The high collar closes around the neck, and an anti-chafe chin guard covers the end of the zipper so it does not rub your chin. A DWR treatment makes the outer surface water repellent.
Can you ski in the Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket?
Yes, as a midlayer. Helly Hansen lists the Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket for resort skiing and off-piste skiing, worn under an outer layer. In that set-up, the shell handles snow and wet conditions and the pile fleece adds warmth underneath. The Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket is not an insulated ski jacket and not a shell. Worn alone on the slopes, it has no waterproof membrane to keep out wet snow. It is a sportswear pile fleece, not technical alpine equipment, so for technical climbing or high-alpine mountaineering choose a dedicated technical layer.
Is the Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket good for everyday wear?
The Helly Hansen Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket also works as a transitional jacket worn on its own. Helly Hansen lists it for hiking, camping, commuting and urban and city life. The zipped chest pocket and zipped hand pockets keep a phone, keys or a card secure on the move. The colour-block design gives the fleece a look that suits town as well as the trail. On dry days the water-repellent finish handles a short shower, but for sustained rain you need a waterproof jacket over it.
How do I wash and care for the Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket?
The Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket is made from polyester and polyamide, with polyester trim. Close all zippers before washing, so the teeth do not catch on the pile fleece or other garments in the drum. Wash the jacket with similar colours, which matters for a colour-block design where several colours sit side by side.
How sustainable is the Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket?
The Helly Hansen Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket is a Global Recycled Standard certified product. The Global Recycled Standard is a certification for products made with recycled material. The main material of the Imperial Pile Fleece Block Jacket is bluesign®, a system that sets requirements for the responsible use of chemicals and resources in textile production.
