Helly Hansen Mandal Jacket 70129 PVC Raincoat - 100% Waterproof

Used for fishing in heavy rain so far brilliant

This this fits so comfortably. this this FEELS like a quality raincoat. The seams and stitching look so strong I have not worn this in the rain yet but i should at least mention i havent had a raincoat this well made in a long time. I cannot afford to spend as much as other brands are asking, only reason i tried this is beacasue of the price point. it seems that everyone i show it too already knows Helly Hansen products. i did not know about them until this rain coat. very happy. if it fails to protect in some way i will update this review Thank you helly Hansen for making somthing this good that anyone can afford.

Don’t buy this unless you plan to wear it and not move. Any slight movements and the buttons unsnap. Definitely not suitable for even light work. Do not buy for fishing or anything where you will move any part of your body.

This coat works best for activities not associated with bending repeatedly as rain will enter (not zipped, snaps only). Helly Hansen is top-grade.

I was expecting something a bit lighter weight. This jacket is more substantial than that. But I want to review it on what it is and not what I thought it was. I use it only in my daily walks when the weather is damp. So for me this jacket is overkill. It's meant to keep the water out, and it sure does that. It also pretty effectively keeps the sweat in. Someone used the term 'workwear' in an earlier review...and that's a great one word description. Like every Helly-Hansen product I've had, it's made to last. Despite my misunderstanding of what the jacket was, I'm keeping it. But if I did this purchase again, I'd go with something lighter and breathable.
