Helly-HansenMen's Moss Rain Coat

This is the best rain jacket I've ever owned, and I've owned many. While it isn't as packable and lightweight as a Marmot or Patagonia rain shell, it makes up for it by featuring heavier material and looking fantastic. I like rainwear big so I can layer underneath it during cold, rainy months, so I ordered a 2XL (I normally wear an XL), and I'm glad I did. I have to fold the sleeves up a bit even with my extremely long arms, but that's OK too because the underlining is a nice contrast color to the exterior and makes it look even better IMO. I'm very, very happy with this.

Love this raincoat. It fits great, is so versatile for rain and wind, and is made well. It really keeps the rain out. I wore it every day on a trip to a rainy location and never got wet and it was so comfortable. It also folds well for packing in a suitcase.

The rain coat will keep you dry in the heaviest downpour. I like the feel of the material; it's somewhat heavy, but that gives it a solid feeling. The hood is plenty large enough, but lacks an adjustment to keep it up and off your face.

There are cheaper rain coats, but this is heavy duty and will last you. The only brand my husband will buy!

This is a great jacket for anyone who lives in the Pacific NW; we get a lot of rain, often heavy, and this jacket keeps me dry and warm. I like Helly-Hansen and would buy more of their stuff but they put their logo on these items and it is too bold, it is, in a word, offensive. HH needs to ask their design team for a logo that does the job but is more subtle, more clever, rather than just blatantly obvious; while their at it they might even reconsider the placement. Who makes these decisions anyway?

The jacket is good looking and comfortable, but if you plan to spend a couple hours in pouring rain, then don't expect to be 100% dry. I would say this jacket is maybe 90% rainproof. I was watching my kids soccer games in a heavy rain, not using an umbrella because I was proud of my good looking HH yellow coat. Hood up, and zipped up tight, the weather exposure started. After about 30 minutes of heavy rain, I realized I needed to remove my phone from coat pocket because the wetness was starting to compromise the pocket. Not terribly, but enough that I didn't want to risk my phone in there, so I moved it to a pocket of my better rain proofed pants. After about 2 hours watching soccer in the heavy rain, I remained comfortable and warm with my underlying layers, but in the end fair amount of moisture had seeped into the jacket material. It took about 2 days of the jacket hanging in my garage near a heater to get it fully dry again. The disappointment is that I really like the HH brand, but my cheaper and more plasticy yellow rain jacket had provided the 100% water proofing that I expected from this very nice HH yellow rain jacket. If you are looking for a thin rain jacket that provides pretty water resistance as an exterior shell for over your other layers, then this is a good jacket, but if you want a 100% rain proof jacket, then keep looking.

This is one serious raincoat (so it doesn’t breathe very well), but the thing I like best about it is how long the sleeves are. As a pretty gangly person, it’s nice to have a jacket with sleeves that extend past my wrists.

This jacket is amazing in ALMOST every way. Fit is amazing. Construction is amazing. Quality jacket. But the pockets are horizontal and open from the top. When you’re standing or walking in the rain, you want to keep your hands dry by sliding them into vertical pockets, on the sides. These pockets open from the top. Water runs in. And it’s an awkward position to keep your hands. Is that not-picky? Yep. But it rains a lot where I live.
