Helly Hansen has made waterproof clothing in Norway since 1877, first for sailors, and that background shows in the junior range. Youth jackets such as the Juell and Loke models use the Helly Tech membrane with fully sealed seams, and sizes run to 14 or 16 years before adult XS takes over. Prices for junior shells usually sit between 80 and 140 dollars, with sailing and ski models at the top of that band.
Best fit for a teen who is out in real weather: sailing, wet coastal walks, skiing. Hoods are cut for wind rather than looks and can feel bulky in town. The brand sells through its own shops, its site and a lot of sport retailers, so prices vary and stock in junior sizes is thinner than in adult ones.
