Helly Hansen Mens Jacket Dubliner

This is the third time I have bought this jacket. It's a nice quality item, good looking, well priced. Lightweight but waterproof. Reasonably stylish for a rain jacket, so nice to wear out in the city.

Great quality as expected from HH

Used whilst watching the London Marathon when it was pouring down and stayed dry as a bone.

Its my fifth in ten years. If it gets dirty - Wash in the washing machine with a gentle detergent. Then tumble dry as advised by Helly Hanson. Washing and tumble drying properly triggers the water proofing to continue working. I bought a cheap knock off half as much but lasted a quarter as long and looked like crap after a month. Its worth it to buy a quality product.

A very nice coat, only small gripe is the upper pocket is inside the coat zip so you have to undo your coat to get to your mobile phone if it is in this pocket.

I have to admit, I was initially really torn over getting this at a selling price of £70.Some of these brands can be difficult to get the sizing right, but I found a shop locally that was selling the quilted version in a XXL for £89 and it was a nice fit. For reference, I'm around 6'4" and just over 110kg.I opted to buy the quilted version, and this non-quilted version to partner with a fleece to see which I preferred. Ultimately, I ended up liking them so much, I ended up keeping both! (And having just spotted the Racer GBlue version for £36, bought that too).The Dubliner is just a really nice jacket. This non quilted version is roomy without being baggy. It has good storage options with two zipper pockets and one internal breast pocket on the left hand side, really handy for keeping your phone in when out for a walk.In Donegal, things can get windy and rainy in a hurry, and this jacket has seen some bad weather recently and passed the waterproof and windproof tests with flying colors.The thing I prefer in the non-quilted version over the quilted, is the fastenings up the front of the jacket - the quilted jacket has velcro, which admittedly is easier to do up in the rain whilst wearing gloves, but I find with repeated use, velcro can look pretty untidy after a lot of use, and I always have a fear of it possible tearing. The pop fastening system on this just feels a bit more premium, despite it being a cheaper version of the same Dubliner line.The racing red is a really visible vibrant color too.I think the reasons I have rated 4 rather that 5 is that I find the hood a bit fiddly to put away and look tidy again. The pictures show a nice flush straight color, but I find you do get a bit of a wingtip effect once you have used it a few times as the hood, when rolled up, doesn't quite reach the ends of the collar, leaving them folding outwards a bit. This isn't anything major, but having paid £70 for the red, and found the blue later for £36, you feel a bit like you missed out on a bargain - at that price it's a rock solid 5.

Bought two (one black and one green) of these for my sons. Excellent quality as you’d expect of this brand. The green is stunning and I’m tempted to get one for myself. The fit is wonderful especially on an athletic frame.

Layered correctly this will make you look extremely handsome and keep you warm. The chicks will check you out on the street and up a mountain.I live this kit. They lose a star for breath ability and sweat but it’s far superior to an NF jacket of higher price.If you buy it you will most likely be happy.Changed my review. This is the best jacket you will ever buy. The best.You can even sit in your house naked but with this jacket on. Buy this jacket.
