Win It: Helly Hansen Ekolab Recycler Jacket
51
August 4th, 2010GiveawaysLooking for adventure this summer? Well look no further. Helly Hansen has introduced to their summer line, a new and incredible lightweight breathable jacket that is perfect for the summertime adventurer. What could be so incredible about a jacket? Well this is the W Ekolab Recycler (retail price $300) is just that; a jacket made out of 100 percent recycled plastic bottles. How cool is that? On top of it being an entirely ‘green’ jacket it is completely functional too.
The Womens Ekolab Recycler is lightweight and extremely breathable which is perfect for the (all too frequent) warm, albeit rainy summer days in the PacNW. Check out the specific specs for yourself:
- Full 3-layer Helly Tech® XP waterproof breathable construction
- Stretch fabric in shoulders and elbows
- Light nylon ripstop body
- Lightweight construction
- Big pocket with water-resistant zippers holds maps and skins
- Helmet compatible hood
- Single-hand pull cord adjustment
- Super light, weight 508g (size large).
I was lucky enough to try out this jacket for myself and it has served me well. It is my new favorite bike riding jacket and here is why: The helmet compatible hood and the stretch fabric in the shoulders and elbows make this the perfect jacket to be active in. I never feel constricted in the coat and it is super comfortable. The jacket is great for summer morning and evening activities due to it being lightweight and breathable. Any cons? It is a light color so it does get dirty a little bit easy; however this jacket is durable and super easy to clean up with a wet towel.
Win It: One lucky winner can enter to win a Womens Ekolab Recycler Jacket of their own. Entering is easy! Simply leave a comment and tell us what your favorite summer activity is. One winner will be picked at random Wednesday August 11th at midnight PST. One entry per email address, per day. Good Luck!!!

my favorite summer activity is riding my bike. it creates an otherwise nonexistent breeze for me while i’m getting to where i need to go, when i’d otherwise be sweating in all the wrong places if i were to have walked there in the texas heat instead!

I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever… Farah Ryan
