Helly Hansen  Verglas Micro Shell Jacket - Women's

I was excited to receive this as the description made it sound like exactly what I was looking for- a lightweight rain jacket. I guess I didn't pay enough attention to the description, but when it arrived and I tried it on, I realized there were no pockets to put your hands in! There was one on the right side that faced the opposite direction, so you couldn't actually put your hand in- I guess it's just for dry storage. Still, there is no way I wear a jacket of any kind I can't keep my hands dry/warm in. In addition to this, I found it a bit tight- room under for only a shirt, no layers. Very tight around my hips.

I bought this jacket because it has been raining more frequently in my area of California and I still want to hike or at least walk every day. So far it has kept me dry, and it is more breathable than some other jackets I've tried. I usually buy a small but due to reviews and because I wanted to have room for another layer underneath if it's cold so I purchased medium. This is not a cold weather rain jacket. It folds up small in my backpack and is really just what I wanted in a rain jacket.

Sizing is off and couldn’t return, it’s too tight around hips.

I'm returning this jacket only because it runs small. It's well made, and I'm sure it's perfectly waterproof. It just didn't seem to have enough room in the shoulders for easy movement, as I'm muscular on top.

Light, hopefully will shed rain, basic construction with some good details
