The detail on this jacket is very thoughtful. I like the lining, the wrist snugging feature, the way the hood is shaped etc. It is slim fitting so if you anticipate layering, perhaps you might consider a size up. My only critique is that the length could be a bit longer.The jacket runs a little smallI wanted a rain jacket with some sort of lining, this one fits the bill. I should have bought a large, it would have fit better, but the XL was $40 less. It fits, a bit large, but over a fleece jacket it's worth it. The hood is a little large, it droops some but you can fold it back so I'm okay with it. At least I'm not getting soaked anymore. I've tried both columbia and marmot but unless you spend over $200, they all leak in heavy rains.I was a little afraid of a white rain jacket, but when I put it on, I had to keep it Looks great on. I'm 5'8" about 140 lbs. I wear medium fitted jackets or large roomy jackets for layers. I bought the large and am very impressed, for the price it's a steal! Helly Hansen quality and a very, crisp white jacket looks great with black pants or skinny jeans and boots! And lucky for me it rained two days after I received it, it kept me dry and is very comfy.Update 3/2/2018: I wore the jacket for a rainy walk and I am in LOVE with this well thought out, cute and super functional jacket. The hood stayed in place without me having to adjust/readjust like I do with other hooded rain jackets. LOVE this jacket!Very comfortable, beautiful color. Have used it in light rain, but not yet in heavy downpours. It's a great addition to Spring and Fall jacket options for your wardrobe. I like that it is colorful and not black. We all look alike in black but my husband can spot me in a crowd when I wear this jacket! I feel like a billboard for Helly Hanson though with all the emblems and writing and this is my one criticism of the jacket. I have washed it in cold water and hung it up to dry. It looks wonderful. I bought it it a size up so that I could wear sweaters underneath.I was hesitant to order this jacket on a small after reading the reviews, but I needed a rain jacket and the price persuaded me to go for it. I am 5'8" 135 lbs, 34B and typically a 4 or 6 and size small in most clothing. This jacket in a small fits me well - it fits comfortably over a sweatshirt, is not tight in the shoulders, and the sleeves are long enough for my long arms. I would probably be swimming in a medium. The bottom hem is tight, however, as noted by other reviewers - not so tight that it doesn't fit over my hips, but noticeably tighter than the rest of the jacket.Fits true to size. Love the length of arms and that it covers past waistline and doesn’t rise with bending/reaching and such. It’s waterproof and comfortable. Can fit a layer under...like a sweatshirt, comfortably.My daughter tried it during a light rain. It appears to repeal the water well. That day was a bit could and she said that it might be better to have something warmer underneath. I'll come back to this review in few weeks, after she wears it a bit more.I love this jacket! It brings slim figure, very light and surprisingly is warm compare to my other rain jacket. My size is UK 14 and bought size L, this jacket fits well with t shirt underneath. This jacket fits perfectly if you have flat tummy otherwise is better to go one size bigger and if you want to have jumper underneath. Love the soft material near the neck, zipper on the pocket, folded hooded with easy access on the back plus the fastened on the wrist. Clever design! Havent tried the jacket yet in rainy weather but I am sure is definitely waterproof. I recommend this jacket if you like simple design and light jacketGreat quality coat. Unfortunately the sizing was all out. I am normally a size 10-12. The small size meant I felt restricted and if I had gone for the medium size, my hands would have completely disappeared. Such a shame as I liked the coat and this would have been ideal for dog walking. Have returned for a refund and back to the drawing board!The jacket was just what I wanted but the sizing guide is wrong. I am a standard size 14 although many of my tops and jackets are a size 12. The medium size fitted a friend who is size 8/10. It was returned for a larger size.To small ordered a large sizes way offThe jacket is great, it’s the second time I have bought something from Helly Hansen and I’m not disappointed! Very good quality and classic design. I’ve ordered a medium size and it fits perfectly (I’m 1,66m tall/62kg), not too loose but I could probably wear over a fleece jumper in colder days.
