Helly-HansenHelly Hansen Women's Vancouver Rain Jacket

This is a good jacket for sports use - to "exacting specifications of mountain professionals, ocean racers and adventurers."PROS* Good quality.* Designed in Norway, made in China.* Soft outside material (100% polyamide).* Fully lined inside, with red mesh from the collar down to the bottom of the jacket and solid lining in sleeves and inside hood (100% polyamide/ 100% polyester).* The adjustable hood is generously sized.* Two 5" x 9" zippered, lined outside pockets.* Storm flap over zipper.* Velcro closure at collar and at bottom.* Adjustable wrists (with velcro).* Adjustable drawstring at bottom.* Machine washable and dryable.CONS* Very bright red - almost neon.* No reflective accents.* Has no interior pocket.* The hood does not stash under the collar.* The storm flap does not have any closures (snaps or velcro) along its length, only velcro at top and bottom.* Seams are not taped.* Runs small - slim fit. As a reference, I'm 5'7" and 140 lbs, normally wear size 8-10, and the Medium size was too snug.* Very strong plastic smell.The "Vaude Escape rain jacket womens Ladies Light red" is a superior version of this jacket, with a much better fit and more details, such as snap/velcro closure and reflective accents.

I was looking for a versatile rain jacket that could be worn year round -- and this fits the bill perfectly. I really didn't want to buy multiple rain jackets for separate occasions, but I don't think I'll need to with this. It's a nice classic style that can be worn on an outdoor trek or on my way in to work on a rainy day. Seems perfect for spring and fall and light enough for the hot rainy days in summer -- not sure how it'll hold up on very cold days, but the reviews say it's warm. Fits true to size. This is my first Helly Hansen product and I must say I'm pleased.

The jacket is great. It is lightweight with a stylish cut. I've worn it biking, hiking, shopping - quite versatile and nice looking. It is a slim cut, so if you are debating between sizes, I recommend going with the larger size.

The raincoat looks great, but we were sent a black one instead of a "toffee" one. The wife didn't mind, and it was too late to return it, given the 14 day return period.

Its okay doesn't fit great but it workds

I like Helly Hansen products and was looking forward to my new jacket.Unfortunatelly I had to send it back, it was too small for size large. The quality is always great though.

Love this jacket. It is a great water-resistant material and has a great shape which makes it look more feminine instead of boxy. It has done a great job of keeping me dry in the Seattle drizzle.

I love it. used it skiing n Utah, snowing. looks great. also white pants. perfectly fitted. Elegant. Very ultra warm. Heading to Canada with these very low degrees.......
