Helly Hansen Damen Welsey II Trenchcoat

I had been looking for a stylish 100% waterproof trench without epaulettes and with a hood, preferably manufactured by a known brand and this ticked all the boxes, at 1/3 of the retail price!! I am 5"4' and normally wear size 10, and size S fits perfectly though I needed to turn up the sleeves by 1cm each, which actually made the shape of the sleeves look better. I have been through light and heavy rains and this coat protected me perfectly. I have a room to wear medium thick jumper or a sleeveless down under it and am quite confident that I can survive a cold spring or autumn with them. In fact, I am beginning to think that I can be a wardrobe minimalist by just owning this and a winter coat and a few layers and survive a whole year in style!

I was looking for a waterproof coat to wear to work that didn't look too sporty. This one fits the bill - like the look and the material. You can zip it right up and use the hood when the weather is really bad. I am a UK size 10 and the small size is perfect.

I am a size 8-10 and this (s) is just slightly larger than I was looking for, but it will allow a thicker layer underneath. It seems nice and windproof. I haven't worn it in a good shower yet so uncertain about how waterproof it is. It is a slightly 'noisy' coat and marks easily.

Took a while to find ac oat that was both waterproof and suitable for walks but also going for lunch in! Felt more like fabric than plastic Lovely coat but would need warm layers in cooler temps. I am a size 8/10/12 depending on retailer but found the small in this coat was perfect Love the rose gold detailing - adds a classy touch

I am extremely happy with quality of fabric and making. The coat has modern vibe. It is fairly fitted and definitely helps in bad weather. This is my Spring / Autumn raincoat, I already have Winter HH heavier coat that I bought last winter.

Really nice and great quality, I use it every day. I took a smaller size as it runs a bit big.

It’s a good looking, lightweight summer raincoat, I bought my usual size and I can comfortably wear a sweater underneath. It’s as warm as any plastic covering, it’s good for the rain but definitely not for the cold. However for this price (also bearing in mind that full price is £180) I would expect a bit more, at least a double zipper that opens from the bottom, a decent length for the belt (I don’t like the ends sticking out, there is barely enough for a double knot) and possibly a couple more pockets (never enough pockets on women’s clothes). Unfortunately the worst bit is the hood, which is inexplicably huge and falls over my face down to the nose so that I look like the Emperor from Star Wars and cannot see where I’m going (not ideal in the London traffic!) There’s no way to make it stay back on top of my head so I have to fold it over in front, which looks horrible and a bit ridiculous and just like that all the stylishness is gone.

I was looking specifically for something that was NOT insulatedwhich is why I like it overall. I’m 5ft and about 60kg and find this to be slightly on the larger side. It is nice as it means I can layer up underneath however as I bought it to wear in warmer wetter countries as a wind breaker it would have been nice if it ran slightly smaller/truer to size. The zippers feel and a look slightly cheap and aren’t weighty at all and may have been better if they went with navy but overall I’m not entirely mad at it as long as they hold up over at least a few years. Time will tell with this one.
