Test report La Sportiva Men's Helixir Shell Jacket

<h2>Key features</h2> <ul> <li>Extremely hard-wearing material</li> <li>No ventilation openings</li> <li>Generous room at shoulders and elbows for unrestricted freedom of movement</li> </ul> <h2>Francesco’s experience</h2> <p>The Helixir Shell is an excellent companion for climbing and high‑alpine tours. Its incredibly durable fabric inspires confidence and feels comfortable to wear. The two front pockets with water‑repellent zippers are ideally positioned – both for tours with a backpack and for alpine missions.</p> <p>There are no special features or innovations, but the zippers run smoothly and can be operated easily even while wearing gloves. The hood is generously cut, comfortable, and easy to adjust.</p> <p>Important to know: there are no ventilation openings. Size S fits well at 1.72 meters, perhaps slightly short – but the shoulder comfort is outstanding. I can already picture myself on the wall with this jacket.</p>
