Product Insights

The Helly Hansen Insulated Hooded Raincoat promises waterproof-breathable protection with a 10,000-15,000mm membrane and PFC-reduced DWR, but buyers report that its seam sealing fails within hours of rain, leading to waterlogged insulation that freezes rather than warms. The relaxed fit works for layering, and taffeta lining eases dressing over damp clothes, yet the coat has drawn criticism for declining quality after the Canadian Tire acquisition, occasional seam leaks, odor retention from the lining, and a brand logo now associated with neo-nazi symbolism—all of which undercut its intended utility for cold-rain commutes and sailing.

Verified claims

Lining
Taffeta sleeve lining reduces friction for easier layering over damp clothes.
Waterproof membrane
Three-layer laminate with sealed seams and breathable Polartec lining, rated 10,000–15,000mm, vents sweat vapor.
DWR and PFC
PFC-reduced chemistry and DWR that can be re-applied to maintain performance.
Seam durability
Some users report seam leaks after moderate use, so long-term waterproofing may vary.
Breathability
Microporous-hydrophilic membrane actively pulls sweat vapor, keeping you dry during active use.
Seam sealing
Factory seam-sealed construction is designed to provide marine spray protection.
DWR care
DWR can be re-applied with wash-in or spray-on treatments.
Best uses
Works well for cold-rain urban commuting, sailing, skiing, and hiking.
Ventilation
This jacket does not have a two-way front zipper.
PFC reduction
PFC-reduced chemistry cuts persistent fluorochemical release.
Longevity
DWR re-treatment, seam-sealed build, and quick-dry lining extend life.
Insulation
The jacket is insulated: the body is lined in warm Polartec fleece and the sleeves have insulation under a taffeta overlay.

Community Q&A

Is Helly Hansen still a buy-it-for-life brand?
Most users agree that quality has declined since the acquisition, and it's no longer considered BIFL, though some workwear items and older gear hold up.
Do Helly Hansen raincoats keep you dry in heavy rain?
It depends on the model; some users report wetting out after a few hours, while others stay dry all day. PVC gear is most reliable but not breathable.
How does Helly Hansen compare to Arc'teryx and other premium brands?
Generally seen as below Arc'teryx and Norrøna in quality, but better than Columbia at similar price points.
Are Helly Hansen insulated jackets warm enough for winter?
Yes, many find them very warm, but some insulation may hold odors, and waterproofing failures can lead to cold.

Compared To

vs Patagonia Torrentshell

Some find HH jackets blousy compared to the trimmer Patagonia Torrentshell.

vs Norrøna

One user prefers Norrøna for offshore waterproof gear, citing better quality.

vs Columbia

One user found Columbia's quality to be inferior to HH in the same price range.

vs Marmot Minimalist

A user recommends the Marmot Minimalist over Helly Hansen due to higher waterproof rating.

  • Insulated coat gets waterlogged and freezes user

    So i splurged on an insulated coat and bibs. Worst gear I’ve ever had for the cost. Gets water logged and I FREEZE in it. Will never buy HH again.

  • PFC ban causes waterproofness to suffer

    since PFC ban, HH has been one of the main companies moving away from flourinated textiles. as a result, the 'waterproofness' of the garment suffers.

  • Juniper 3.0 jacket is a warm, insulated outer shell

    I use the HH Juniper 3.0. It’s an amazing jacket that is somewhat insulated, but still functions as an outer shell and is super warm with or without base and mid layers

  • Workwear rain anorak soaked through after three hours

    I bought a workwear rain anorak from them last winter and it lasted about three hours before soaking through at the neck/zipper seams. Very disappointing as I had had good luck with them about a decade ago.
