Helly Hansen Workwear Men's Gale Waterproof Rain Jacket, Dark Orange, XL

Bought for proper deluges and driving rain for coastal cycles and walks. I've owned gore-tex pro jackets and they wet out and over time DWR coating loses effectiveness even with re-coating. This jacket is completely waterproof, the PU membrane is environmentally a lot better than pvc/dwr chemicals; and it actually has a nice soft feel, no rustling. Seams are solid doesn't feel like this jacket could tear. The inner membrane makes it comfortable next to the skin (unlike traditional rubber jackets), the phone pocket is well located within the storm-flap for protection but accessible. With the neoprene cuffs can be used for kayaking as water ingress is prevented (velcro sleeve cuffs would make it even better though). The hood has quite a small top-flap but if using this in some really adverse conditions wearing a baseball cap under the hood is something which I do anyway; with the adjusters and the collar you can properly seal yourself in from the elements. Perhaps a couple of hand-warmer zipper-type pockets would make this jacket even better (though would also make it closer to the £100 mark). I use this jacket at the point where internal sweating isn't even a factor because it is raining so heavily. While a bit 'fisherman-ish' it isn't too shiny and smart enough to wear in town or to work. And the absolute best bit is trusting that you will be completely dry for a very reasonable cost. Have ordered the trousers too now, backing Helly Hansen quality.

Super jacket, highly recommended. I don't think you'll get wet in this jacket.

I have 3 colours in this jacket. It is excellent quality. Keeps me dry when walking my dogs. I got an XLarge and this allows me to wear a sweatshirt underneath. Absolutely love these jackets.

Great waterproof, it is no breathable so don't wear to much under it

Excellent when it's lashing, warm, comfortable, it covers absolutely every inch of your upper body! And for the price, I think there's no match!

Perhaps not the most stylish garment -- it is, after all, "workwear" -- but otherwise really excellent. It is, exactly as claimed, "waterproof [I mean, _seriously_ waterproof], lightweight, durable". Nice big pockets with flaps that really keep things dry. Hood and drawstrings all good. This feels like a product that's evolved to meet the most demanding work use, so for my slightly less demanding needs it's superb.

100% waterproof. Excellent value for money. Doesn't rip, withstands going through fences and brambles. Not a heavy jacket, but it is quite warm. Easy to put layers underneath in cold weather so I'd buy a size bigger than usual to allow this. I'd definitely buy it again I've stayed dry dog walking and cycling in heavy rain with no problem. Dry pocket on chest keeps your phone dry as well! 100% recommend

Not waterproof in heavy rain! Leaked around the hood! Returned for a refund.

Heel goed

Buon prodotto. Sono rimasto sdiisfatto.

Belle qualité et souplesse du produit. Moins rigide qu’un ciré classique je n’ai pas encore testé sous une pluie battante. Le produit est bien fait et semble solide

PUR material is the better option than other plastics.

Wat ik verwacht van Helly Hansen is kwaliteit en dit is weer bij deze bevestigd . Zoals de Nooren zeggen , er bestaat geen slecht weer alleen slechte kleding . En voor de verkoper , snelle levering en super goede communicatie , en super prijs Mvg Dennis
