As an active guy who loves the outdoors, finding versatile fall apparel can be a challenge. You need gear that transitions your wardrobe as the temperatures cool off without overheating. After testing Helly Hansen’s LIFA Merino Midweight Balaclava Hoodie this fall, it’s become my seasonal MVP. This brilliantly designed hoodie is now my go-to for looking great while staying comfortable in cool fall weather.
The game-changing balaclava hood design provides just the right amount of extra coverage as the breezes kick up without making me sweat. I’ve been wearing it hiking and biking around the city, and having the option to zip up the hood blocks chilly winds without causing me to overheat. It’s also come in handy for nighttime bonfires and fall concerts, letting me stay warm as soon as the sun goes down.
And if the weather is temperamental with rain or wind, I can cinch the hood up for full face protection. The snug fit stays perfectly in place even when I’m active. This hoodie has quickly become my fall weather security blanket.

But the materials really make this hoodie exceptional. Helly Hansen cleverly combined temperature-regulating merino wool with its signature LIFA moisture-wicking fabric. The Merino interior feels great and adapts to match my body temperature. While the LIFA fabric whisks away sweat to keep me dry.
This means the hoodie breathes incredibly well on sunny fall days when I heat up. But as soon as I stop moving or the sun goes down, the merino wool kicks in to keep my core cozy. It’s the ultimate fall warmth piece that adapts to the conditions.
Whether it’s apple picking on crisp weekend mornings or nights out at the brewery as the leaves change, I’ve been wearing this hoodie non-stop. It layers perfectly under my jacket and walks that fine line between warmth and breathability.
The Black Mountain Camo looks great whether I’m geared up for a hike or meeting friends for a concert. It’s the perfect balance of technical yet laid-back style.
At $120, the quality merino wool, versatile design, and Swiss craftsmanship make this hoodie worth the investment to upgrade your fall wardrobe.
For active guys looking to seamlessly transition their style from summer to fall, the Helly Hansen LIFA Merino Hoodie is a must-have. It’s now my go-to for looking great while staying comfortable in cooler fall weather.
