Depends. If you want more waterproof and maybe little less better looking ( in some opinion) then helly for you. If waterproofing isn't that big of a deal and a really baggy one piece is what you want, get oakley.

Mark my words, the Helly Hansen yellow and brown one looks a lot better in person. A LOT BETTER. The two piece version of it even more so.  Sooo sick.

Def go for HH, they are sick. And pollard uses it, because of that you should use it.

I don't own HH, in fact I own an Oakley Link jacket, but I have compared the two at a shop. As everyone else has stated, HH is a lot more durable and better designed than Oakley. I like the fit and look of Oakley, but if you want something that will be function and look good, though not overly baggy, I'd go with HH. I hope their prices for the Logan suit goes down by  next year because it's so nice.

helly owns oakley. oakley shit is retarded. sooooo poorly made. helly looks a lot better and is of much higher quality. if you're into getting soaking wet and not staying warm, get oakley. if you want a quality piece of outerwear that will last longer than five minutes, get helly.

yes it does
check it out in my pictures that's the one I have
Sooo hot right now!

But seriously, if you want to go with the newschools opinion get helly
but just try them on and see which one suits you up better.

Helly Hansen, because the good looking one piece also comes in separates. And you wont have your crotch around your knees.

The Francis 7 from HH - cheaper, but its a one piece, some disadvantages there IMO.

I've got a Medic, and I like it, it's super warm, and I've never gotten wet in it, with that said however... If I could've gotten the same deal on the Francis 7 as I did on the Medic, I would've snatched the Francis up like there was no tomorrow. My next outerwear purchase will most definitely be the Francis 7 (cause I like one peice suits) or the Logan 5 jacket and pants...they are mad functional and amazingly made...plus Pollard rides for Helly, and as we all know, Pollard is God...and if Helly is good enough for God then I'm pretty sure I want it.

Logan 5 jackets and pants can also link together to form a kinda semi-one piece. $600 for the Logan 5 is really really expensive... but so worth it. Ahhh, gotta find another job.
