Review on Helly Hansen Womens Jacket Medium by Dave Hammon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Really waterproof, design could be improved

Wish I could give 3.5 stars, definitely 5 stars because it's REALLY WATERPROOF! I finally found a jacket for my commute at PNW. A zip would be a huge benefit for a comfortable fit, fit and breathability - a more flared fit is needed at the bottom to prevent water running right down the jacket and onto your hips as you walk and wicking up some of your pants at very heavy rain - something more than a roomy hood would be great to leave more room for a knit hat - the hood should have a tight shank around the face to better withstand rain and wind. It folds at the top and the water flows down. It would be great if it was about 4 or 5 inches longer and that would help with the wet thigh issue described above. Overall 5 stars for water resistance, 3 for design.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
