Helly Hansen Alpha 4.0 - Review 2025

The Helly Hansen men’s Alpha 4.0 is the epitome of comfort, designed to cater to the needs of the most demanding resort skiers.

What makes this jacket truly exceptional is its advanced Helly Tech® Professional fabric, which provides impeccable waterproofing. It effectively shields you from snow and rain, keeping you dry and comfortable. New for this year, the PrimaLoft® Black Eco insulation offers optimal warmth without too much added bulk, and the jacket includes a heated phone pocket to keep your phone alive in the coldest temperatures.

The Alpha 4.0 has  2-layer construction, which isn’t as breathable as a 3-layer construction jacket but will keep you warmer. With warm air not able to escape, this jacket will keep you comfortable while waiting for your kids to master their turns and riding the lifts during cold temperature days on the mountain. It also has a more snug fit than other jackets on the market, which some may not like.

Overall, the high warmth to price and sleek design make it our top Helly Hansen jacket pick for the resort. Check out the Alphelia (shop links below) for the women’s version.
