Helly-HansenWomens Aden Down Waterproof Parka Jacket

We actually came across this brand at Epcot center in the Scandinavian area. When I got home, I decided to check Amazon for a great price on a HH winter jacket. I am VERY impressed. I am 5'10" and this jacket is mid-thigh for me. The material is very durable (has survived my lab jumping up to greet me time after time.) It's also very warm but not so thick that I look like a snowman. Great jacket! Very impressed!

I ordered this just before we dropped below 0 degrees. I am so glad I did! This jacket kept me so warm that the cold weather did not bother me one bit. I did get a bit too warm while waiting inside for my son to gather his things and head outside. Lesson learned put on the jacket when he is ready to go.I was also concerned with the sizing since I tend to size up when purchasing a jacket. There was no need to size up with this one. I can comfortable wear this with layers including thicker sweaters. And even with the layers it is still very flattering to wear (meaning I don't feel like I look too bulky)I am very glad that I ordered this!

This parka is very functional, well-made, and warm. The pockets are lined with felt for extra warmth and zip closed to keep items secure. The oversized hood is great for keeping snow and wind away from your face and you can adjust the depth of the hood with a snap closure. Hood stays secure with bungee ties. Overall, a very good value.I only gave it four stars due to the sizing; it runs small. I am 5' 3" and weigh 130 lbs. Normally I would wear a medium in a coat, but I ordered a large based on comments and I'm glad I did. It fits well with a fleece and shirt underneath. The look is basic, not very stylish, but as I said, warm and functional. I would have liked more pockets; maybe one or two inside.

I love this jacket! I ordered it along with the North Face ThermoBall Parka and Gotham Parka. ThermoBall was far too shiny and lightweight, felt more faddish than functional, while Gotham also felt too lightweight and fabric didn't feel like it would repel rain. I really liked the fur on this jacket, plus it was very very warm. It felt like a parka should. I am 5'4 and this comes right above my knee. The fabric repels rain well. I wear an L but ordered XL as I often will wear a hoodie or thick sweater layers. XL has been perfect for that need so if you tend to wear thicker layers I would suggest a size up. I wanted something more on the athletic/practical side than fashionable and I feel like this meets the practical needs while not being ugly either. I do wish the pocket opening was larger.

Very disappointed with this expensive and supposedly high quality brand. Purchased as a gift for college student going abroad and the seams ripped inside one of the sleeves and on inside of jacket after first week of wearing it. I had no time to return it because of travel dates so had to bring to seamstress to fix in time for trip and paid another $50. I do not recommend this brand, very disappointed!

Love this jacket! I've worn it for a few months finding it to be warm, not too bulky, and it's length was perfect!

This is a great coat but fits a little small. I'm usually a 14-16 and got an XL. It is very warm and was great for a ski trip. I didn't like the faux fur on the hood, it was a little matted. I'm also not a fan of logos and this has the logo on the front left breast area.

I decided to get this coat on sale after using a 'puffy' coat for a year. It arrived and she opened it eagerly. She liked the fur-lined hood as well as the extra long length, but most of all, she liked the light weight of the jacket as well as the wind proof warmth of the jacket. In all, a very satisfied user!
