Helly Hansen Legendary Insulated Pant 65704

The Legendary Insulated Pant is Helly Hansen's workhorse resort pant—the one that combines genuine warmth, waterproofing and durability without fuss. It layers well over a base layer and thin fleece, breathes properly on climbs to the lift, and the 2-way stretch fabric lets you move freely through varied snow conditions.

Why we rate it

The HELLY TECH® Performance membrane is fully seam-sealed and keeps water out reliably; the DWR treatment sheds fresh snow. PrimaLoft® Black synthetic insulation at 60g strikes the balance between warmth and packability—enough for resort days in most European conditions without overheating in the lodge. The fabric is genuinely stretchy, not just marked-up stiff shell, so it doesn't restrict. Mechanical ventilation on the thigh zippers lets you dump heat quickly when you need to, and the reinforced lower legs stand up to boot cuffs and rough use.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced skiers who spend most days at the resort and want kit that simply works—no fuss, no gaps, no surprises. The regular fit suits most builds; Helly Hansen runs true to size. The pant fits well over a thin mid-layer and base layer without bagging.

Fit and feel

True to size through the waist and thigh. The articulated knees and crotch gusset let you crouch and turn without binding. Leg length runs regular and short (31-inch inseam) options on most colours. Allow room for a thin fleece or mid-layer underneath; the pant is cut with enough volume that you won't feel compressed. Boot gaiters with silicone gripper keep the cuff from riding up and stop snow from entering at the top of the boot.
