I learned from Alaskan friends about Helly Hensen years ago. "you will need a rain coat and the only brand to get is H & H. This is my second coat the first one I wore out, it took a long time. What is great about this exact coat: Impertech Waterproof is that it is made with Polyurethane. That makes a serious raincoat not so heavy and it is much more breathable. They make other raincoats so you need to look for those marked Polyurethane. As far as I can tell they do not make this long coat in a women size which is too bad. I wear a mans L, a bit narrow in the hips and long on the arms but I don't care - I stay comfortable, dry and warm while fishing for walleye on Lake of the Woods, USA.

I wear a men's large and got this jacket in large and it is a tent on me. Kind of disappointed because I spent so much money on it and it's past the return/exchange date.

the medium is a bit snug for heavy jacket, but large is huge. I'm 5' 11' and 168 lbs.
i hate fishing bibs and waders. I've always used a longer rain jacket with hip boots. this jacket was difficult to find, but exactly what i needed. worth the money, for sure.

Great rain coat. I love the long length.

I bought this raincoat as a waterproof shell to wear over my Canada Goose winter parka in heavy rain conditions. On a recent trip to Iceland, I learned that my CG parka is weather-resistant, but not waterproof. This HH is a high-quality, durably made, knee-length raincoat that is roomy enough to comfortably wear over a heavy parka. Because it is so roomy, you might want to purchase one size smaller than your normal size, unless you're planning to use it as an outer shell like I am.
