no releasing.

hh didnt want to be too stylish or have too many colors other than white and grey, lest the kids start wearing it.

Not entirely true.

They decided to produce the Lumi Down Jacket in Purple. As for the matching pants, which are actually a dark pink, will not be sold in stores.

I'm not sure how Jibij has the Lumi Down but it was not produced.  I have the full cancellation list for the season and none of the sample colors in the Lumi Down or Lumi Pants were produced (even Purple Haze).  Hence why the Down wouldn't be listed on HH's website.

The only slice of Lumi that was produced was the Lumi Jacket in White:

Yea and what about that Dank Blue colorway that Pollard was rocking in some of the "Hunting Yeti" webisodes? I really want pants in that color. In fact I NEED them.

Pants are coming out that are the same color as Pollard's jacket (but his jacket will not be available, it was a special run only for the sponsored riders). Color is 'Aqua Dome'.

Pants are going to be either the Outlook or the New Agenda, both out in the next 2 weeks.

Helly Hansen is retarded.

Every year, you see their atheletes wearing the sickest shit, and NONE of it is actually available to the consumer. Its the same every year, athletes get dope bright colors, consumers get black, brown, or white. Pretty stupid if you ask me. Look at oakley, simon dumont wears yellow at xgames...and BOOM all the kids are buying yellow. They see pollard wearing bright orange, or those other dudes wearing purple, all the kids go to buy that shit, figure out they dont make it, and they dont buy HH. Great marketing. Pay a bunch of people to wear stuff you dont make that isnt available anywhere...

Gomer! Thanks buddy. That was just what I was looking for. Any idea what the tech specs will be? 10K/10K I assume?

Yes, 10k 10k.

The downfall for the cancellation process with Helly is that corporate Norway decides that, not their US portion and its almost a year in advance when its decided.  Not that its much of a scape and I fully agree they need to produce the bright colors (which we've talked with corporate about numerous times), but that Norway corporate isn't the US riding culture.

sorry but the lumi down jacket in "purple haze" is not going to be released either. the only thing in the lumi ine that is going into full production is the lumi jacket in the bubble pattern.

I thought the same thing, but the guy at my local helly store said they weren't getting, but they could order it from the factory if you wanted.  Then I saw the elevate jacket in dusty green and liked it more.
