Helly-HansenWorkwear Gale Mens Rain Jackets Waterproof With Hood Made from Heavy-Duty Polyurethane on Polyester Knit

Really appreciate the fact that the water rolls off this rain jacket making it 100% waterproof. This certainly has not been the case with numerous other rain jackets (including Gore-Tex) that I’ve owned. So for what it’s designed to do it most certainly does the job, no question about that. I also appreciate the neoprene wrist cuffs and hood features. Great additions over my old Helly Hanson rain jacket. Buyer beware, however. First, if you’re looking for a rain jacket that’s lightweight or easily packable you’re better off looking elsewhere. Second, at 5’10”, 215 lbs., and with a 46” chest I went with an XL. The fit is a bit “tighter” than I expected. My advice is if your measurements are borderline on the sizing chart like mine were, go up one size, especially if you plan on adding a layer or two during colder weather. All in all a great purchase for me.

Good

I haven’t used it yet but it fit well and seems to be well made. I wanted to try a rain coat that allows the water to run off without allowing it to soak in the fabric. The material feels like it will do just that.

So far so good. Seems to stand up to harsh weather

Amazing product, you’ll love it.

It is totally water resistant. It fits fairly well whether I wear it alone or have a sweatshirt underneath. I really like the neoprene inner sleeves to keep water from running up your arm. The material doesn’t breathe but you have to expect it with this level of water resistance.

Great value for money. And the size was just right for me even with layering

Pros.Fits as advertised in size charts, and so far it's kept me dry though I've not been in heavy or extream weather conditions, I have been in light rain with medium wind as well as medium rain with little to no wind and so far it has not let the water in (no added water proofing was done by me its just straight out of the box) now I will say that if you want this to be your main wet weather jacket like my self I would suggest getting something to layer under it for warmth as this is not insulated so during freezing temp you too will be freezing. to circle back to sizing I'm 5,11 and 145lbs not fit just a regular build and got the extra small, my chest is 34 inches and my hips are a 30 and this jacket is by far the best fitting jacket I've had in my adult life with just enough room to get a basic sweater or zip up under for extra warmth on the days/nights that drop in temp (can be seen in pics over a basic sweater in one as well as over both the sweater and waiters in another)Cons.my only hang up is the cuffs being a neoprene (wetsuit like material) that is tight on the wrists (I have nerve damage on the top of my thumb and it can be difficult getting the cuff over without it hurting) it can also be a little difficult if you wear a watch. I'm also just not a fan of the main two pockets design there like cargo pockets but them being straight vertical designs they are not convenient for your hands as well as the tops only have a flap and doesn't actually have anything to secure the pockets closed so I don't want to trust them with anything that needs to stay dry
