Helly Hansen Women’s Aspire Jacket Review

A Versatile Women's Jacket For Light to Moderate Intensity Workouts

I had the opportunity to test this jacket out on a couple of cool morning runs of 25 and 40 degrees. The X-Cool fabric kept the cold winds at bay while my torso warmed up during my run, which was just what I needed.

I always want to look good on and off the trail and this jacket supports that. I found myself hanging out in it even after my run because it was so light weight and fashionable at the same time. The Aspire Jacket works great for low to medium intensity runs.

Elastic Waist Drawcord

The elastic drawcord at the waist made for a flattering fit.

Adjustable Hood

The low profile drawcord hooks kept the hood in place while running.

Improvements

Two features that I would like to see in the next version would be the addition of ventilation under the arms and along the back, and a small stash pocket.
