Helly HansenMen's Dubliner Jacket

I've been looking for an affordable Dubliner for a while. I used to work for the RNLI as a paid fundraiser, and this was the jacket we were issued with. We worked outside throughout the year, in all weathers. It remained watertight even in the worst downpours, but it's not insulated - so you need to layer up to stay warm. I used to wear a L, which was fine in summer but a little snug with a fleece underneath in winter (I'm short and stocky W36 C44). To that end, I decided to buy the XXL to enable me to wear a decent insulation layer underneath it. I could have got away with an XL, but I went for an XXL (it's good to have the luxury of a bit of extra room).The quality is still there. Excellent waterproofing. Quality zips and poppers. The stowable hood is great (there is a technique required to repack it neatly - it takes a bit of trial and error). There is a zipped interior pocket to keep your mobile dry (essential). The adjustable cuffs are good. The HH branding is subtle and tasteful. Just a brilliant jacket all-round (and very popular with RNLI staff!)I'm pleased to have been able to buy one in black for a fair price - just bear in mind it's not terribly warm on its own - it is, in essence, a waterproof shell. There is an insulated version (which is also excellent), but I wanted four-season flexibility. This jacket gives me that.

This jacket is comfy and fits well. It's well made and breathable, whilst also being very waterproof. Does a great job as a raincoat at a very reasonable price.

I have no complaints about comfort, workmanship, or weight. The walks that I have been on were excellent with this jacket; in the heat it isn't immediately insufferable and when the temp drops the jacket is insulating. However, the feature I noticed most was the wind insulation of the material. The effect was instant and I went from cold from the suddenly gusting wind to perfectly comfortable once it was put back on. Its as comfortable as any jacket to sit on if you take a break during the walk so nothing special there.The issues were 1.) the Jacket zips had a tendency to stick, although they did not break it should be mentioned, and 2.) the size was just right after ordering one size larger. I did this after reading similar reviews recommending this and they were correct. So if you're a medium like me, go for a large.Disclaimer, I can't praise or chastise the rain resistance and how well it beads off water since unfortunately its been great weather with no showers even. I hope it stands up well and if not, I will edit the review accordingly.

Great quality, nice and light but waterproof, worth the money, complete with fold away hood.

This is the perfect semi-lightweight jacket for chilly autumn days. It's not too bulky and is a good length – by which I mean it isn't too long in the body – a common fault these days when clothes seen to be design for seven foot tall people. Has a zip pocket inside for your phone or wallet. Side pockets are zipped too. Hood can be left out of its compartment if you don't want the 'rubber ring' effect.

Normal buy northface or Berghaus jackets, but this is my first helly.Impressed with the fit, material quality and the finishing touch such as adjustable cuffs.Nicely lined arms and pockets.It rolls nicely into a compact jacket for carrying in a backpack if needed.I will make the presumption its waterproof.Look forward to using it this winter although under layer will be needed.

Great price, looks nice and is warm. Just what I need

This is a great jacket. Fit is as described and the quality seems to be great. It certainly kept me warm and dry whilst not being too bulky etc. Some reviews were negative complaining about durability etc. I’m not working on a deep sea trawler, I just want a decent outdoor jacket for work and a bit of hiking and this does what I need
