Lame. I bought a Shelter L and its giant on me and i think it looks sick but like it seems no one wears HH and every just bags on this company i mean some of the shit is like racer but the other stuff can be cool.

I need you guys help you HH lovers!
 
Its what Pollard wears, so it must be pretty good. I'm buying a pair of their pants soon, and next year I think one of their jackets. Stuff looks pretty nice. 10K waterproof and breathability minimum. I think they look they are going for is more of the BC/Big Mountain look, not so much the park look. Seems like most of the stuff they make is really tech and clean simple designs.
 
I really haven't been a big fan of their designs the last few years. All their stuff is kinda funky looking to me. And the fact that they have their own retail outlets at high-end ski resorts is a bit of a turn-off. As a company, they really seem to target the high-end, super-rich gaper market more than the core skier market.
 
Yeah it is top of the line but like i think my jacket is dope but i got it dirt cheap line 35 bucks or something for this years model
 
Haha sorry I am so confused..I wasn't responding to you. I was responding to the guy who mentioned the Oakley jacket. I think he misunderstood me when I said "HH is tight as fuck!" I meant they are awesome not...literally "tight" size wise.
 
And Eric Hjorleifson, James Heim, Mark Abma, Hugo Harrison, PK Hunder, and Chris Davenport.
Yeah, it must be pretty good.
 
I really like their stuff. I have a HH legit road worker jacket and it is the most bomber thing ever. It's basically impossible to be cold in it, even if it's wet, the outside material is like ballistic nylon, it feels like the same stuff chainsaw pants are made of, and the seams and zippers are fucking MASSIVE. I can't imagine it ever coming apart. Plus it is bright road worker orange with fluorescent green reflectors on the sleeves. Baller. Only problem is, it's now too small for me, so it is being passed on to the little bro.
 
HH is legit as hell. their stuff is expensive but super high quality. unlike oakley where you pay out the ass for a piece of crap
 
the sickest suit i have ever had was a large logan5 and xl logan5 pants, this thing is huge and looks super steezy. really good shit, and who cares what others say if you like then rock it.
 
Got the HH survival jacket and pants from last year. Got the pants in XL, and I just love them. The jacket is L, and it's not small, but It could be a bit longer.

The only durability problem I've had is that the long rubber-ish thingies attached to the zippers to make them easier to pull got wared off on the main zipper (and soon on one of the pockets) since I used it so much, but you still got the metal part you can pull, so it isn't really a problem at all.
 
you should but not cus people here say its cool/tight/sick whatever... i mean don't get me wrong, iv'e been rockin HH jackets for a few years now and i love them... but get your stuff because you like it & and becuase it works for you, not because other people validate it as a cool company... that would make you a tool!

 
whoever thinks HH is lame probably has issues of their own that ought to be handled sometime soon. HH doesn't look "balla" all the time, but they make some of the best (if not THE best) technical outerwear on the market, and you always get what you pay for.
 
I also feel like if you spend say 200 or 300 on a jacket you get way more if you spent it at HH rather than The north face.
 
it's not that great.top of the line is arcteryx, mtn hardwear, cloudveil, patagonia
all better than HH...HH is okay, but it has never held up compared to my arcteryx.
 
yea but lets be honest arcteryx and patagoniaall etc etc are on a little different level no?
i think HH is pretty under rated actually...their higher end stuff that is.
 
lame? no HH is just a different style, like said in the above posts they make clean simple high quality stuff that has a very understated look which i love and they are the most durable jackets i have ever had, i have been rockin them for years.
