I bought this jacket to replace a Helly Hansen Vancouver jacket that had long since lost it's water resistance. This Dubliner is definitely a step up in both quality and styling. It's been pretty rainy where I live for the past few months and this jacket has been 100% waterproof and has kept me dry. I'm glad Helly Hansen decided to add an inside chest pocket as that's where I like to keep my phone. And I also like that the pockets are lined with a soft, fleecy material. The hood stores away in the collar when not needed which is also a plus over HH's lower-end jackets.

However, like a lot of other people have mentioned, it runs small. It's fitted instead of loose and feels pretty narrow. I ordered one size larger than I normally wear so that I could layer underneath which turned out to be a good decision. Keep that in mind if you are ordering this jacket.
