The 5 Best Hard Shell Jackets

So I have two jackets here. The reason being that this one that I am reviewing here this want to do is right here. This one I’m reviewing that you’re looking at is really a clone of this North Face jacket. It’s just really similar to this North Face jacket, so I thought first I would put this North Face jacket on and then show you, the one do clone and just kind of give you a sense of a comparison in a nutshell. These jackets are just incredibly similar, alright, so the main features of this North North Face coat it has sleeve cuffs you can tighten.

It’s got a big male side, zipper, meaning you zip up on the right side. It’s a male side, zipper velcro, a couple of front pockets here, no internal pocket in it. It has a hood hook which I always use when I’m, skiing and snowboarding and you can tighten up and if you need to you, can pop the hood off because it has snaps and you can pop the hood off. So that’s the main features of this jacket I’m using for years and really liked it again.

It’s a North Face coat, it’s not too thick, it’s not down or anything like that, but it does have a smooth lining on the inside and a little bit of insulation and a really nice shell, alright. So that is this North Face coat in a nutshell. Alright, so here is the what do jacket and it has a female side zipper. So your zipper is over on the left side and obviously you know men and women who use the female side zipper. The zipper is just a teeny bit rough and sometimes hard to pull down, so it just kind of catches a little bit, but you know not a big deal.

You can figure it out, but it’s just a little bit rough. It also has the velcro wrist cuffs, just like the North Face jacket. It has a one pocket here instead of two, it has the same pockets here and it has the hood. It has the hood, which is also detachable and actually I, think the hood is just a little bit more capacious or roomy than that Northeast this one, this hood actually zips off as opposed to buttoning off and actually I, prefer that the buttoning off hood, often pops off inadvertently when you don’t want it up.

As far as inside the coat you’ve got an interior pocket, which you don’t have it on the North Face jacket and the lining is different. Let me just show you that it has a kind of fuzzy fleecy lining on the hood and the jacket, and it still has that kind of water-resistant shell. So overall I would say: I am pretty impressed with this clone. It does not have the North Face brand I know a lot of people are really into brand-name, clothing and other items, but it does not have the North Face brand, but it is a pretty awesome jacket for the price.

If you want to compare this to North Face go right ahead. You’ll see the difference yourself. This guy is a medium. This is a medium-size jacket and the North Face is a medium-size jacket and no kidding. This thing fits me exactly the same as the medium North Face jacket. One thing it doesn’t have, which I really kind of missed, is the ability to seal up the bottom. I’m gonna show you this this one thing I missed that doesn’t have is it does not have a bungee cord on the bottom, which allows you to really seal up the bottom, so you can get a good closure on the bottom.

It has velcro and everything, but it will remain open on the bottom. Our one nice thing about that north base coat I’ll show you here is that it has a bungee on the bottom which allows you you know if you’re, skiing or snowboarding, when I really to seal up the bottom. It doesn’t look good with the bottom, all sealed up on the North Face, but it will keep you a little bit warmer and drier overall I gotta tell you. This is a pretty nice coat for me.

It’s going to be a backup and a duplicate of my North Face jacket and I like it. It is obviously not a North Face brand, but I think it has many, if not all or more, of the features of my North Face.

Am reviewing a Jimmy’s women’s mountain, waterproof ski jacket, winter wind proof, rain, jacket, here’s the jacket, go, you’ll, see it on in another review. Today, on this nice jacket, this jacket is supposed to be waterproof windproof, and I can’t remember what else we will rein it in a little bit on this jacket. If you look right here, it has this, which is a this, is kind of a rubbery velcro thing, but you can take put your gloves on and then you can make this as tight as you need it to go.

If you’re gonna use this to board or ski or something like that, so that’s really nice too! It’s a little bit small! So I have a little bit longer arms, probably than this is made for so it’s really tight right there, so I could see it ripping soon, but so far, so good five-hour skiing in the rain in this jacket and I’m still really dry in here.

Hey Jim dreamy I wanted to show you my company called Jim, Mies I. Don’t really know you say that G and like Mike y se 69 98. Now it came with an extra 5% off and those of you that can do math realize that that’s a whopping three dollars and fifty cents, but hey covers attacks. It’s made like gym eyes. This is a 69 98. Gotta. Keep that in mind here. This is a very nice three-in-one jacket for the money.

Why did I get this I actually have a three-in-one jacket, but I had a really nice three-in-one jacket and I have to go home to see my parents in Illinois and I live in Georgia and I. Don’t want to take my nice jacket up there because I’ll end up doing things in my dad’s garage that will get all over it and I thought hey. You know, spend 70 bucks and if I mess it up well, you don’t I mess it up because I can wash it and it’ll.

Be my work check it after that. But this is a very nice jacket for $70. First, it’s it’s a it’s a nice three-in-one. They say this is the Teflon material, I kind of have to take their word for it, but but it’s a nice material this this pocket right here, there’s my fingers, that’s how deep it is nice for, like chap, sticks, I, guess you could put some money in there.

If you didn’t want to have to dig for your pants pocket. There’s you know your pockets. You’d have to reach all the way up there, this this chest pocket now, I! Might it’s a little deeper I have an iPhone excess Mac excess? That is a 10 hands by the way, a 10s max with a defender, auto box case on this, and so it’s a fairly large phone. This really not gonna fit in here.

It does fit rather nicely in these pockets down here on the side, which would be very, very functional. I have a regular hip case that I, wear and I would probably wear that and in case like that. But but this is a this- is a really nice jacket it’s attractive. It’s you’re not gonna, see the workmanship on this and the types of details that you get I’ve got my my three-in-one jacket is look, let’s call it a South, but okay, it’s you both of you to pay attention to things like that.

Hopefully, you’ll find the humor in this. If not sorry, this was funny here in my office, but um. This is a nice jacket. It comes with a nice snap here at the bottom and, of course, velcro closures here to kind of seal in the zipper area. The zipper here these are, you know a nice three-in-one jacket if you buy like my south, but it was up many times more expensive than this, but for the for the amount of money that this is, this is a very high quality jacket.

Now you have to kind of get used to the idea that this opens a this outside zipper opens a little differently now. Details comes with a zip off hood here on the back. The hood comes up. It’s a nicely sized hood. I, don’t have any problem with the size. I, don’t I. Don’t really do this much we’re in Georgia, but in Illinois I will wear the hood, but it’s a nice hood.

It comes with the chin straps on here, which are, you know, put you come across here. They have both you’re on them. You get the eye. You get the idea on that now. I did not secure the inside lining. It is a three in one. So when I pulled this thing off, sleeves are gonna come out of this, which is just which is just fine and I’m. Gonna have to hold them funcly’ until I can get all the way out of it.

Now what I did do is I did zip the inside liner in you know to the outside shelf and- and this thing comes off very nicely like this, and it comes out like that inside liner. This is a. This is a very nice like a fleece microfiber, whatever you want to call it, it’s not real. It’s polyester, who-knows-how-many polyesters had to die to make this happen, but if I can get my arm inside of this thing, it would be nice.

This worked well when I was practicing with it. Oh that’s why he didn’t do it because I pulled the sleeve out wrong, but but you’ll see here that sleeve comes out of there, just fine and then I can now I can’t get my harm at live. Tv no script, I’ve gotta love it now. This is very nice on the inside I. Don’t think that this this is made like it’s a real pocket.

It’s actually lined as you can you see that yeah, it’s a line pocket and then, if I wanted to keep that inside of here, that would be more than KB and what’s nice is this is an actual real pocket? It’s it’s completely sewn all the way around and in it it’s it’s able to hold the hold little goodies like that. The zipper here works very nicely again. This is a this.

Is a nice zipper on this and the pockets here are very deep: the pockets on this thing you know they’re again, my my 10s max with the OtterBox Defender case fits in it very nicely. Now what you have here, these little loops. You see that yeah this little loop here this little loop here and I’ll show you the one on the back of it here. You can see it there that things sticking out on the back of my neck.

That’s another loop! What that does! This is the neck loop, so you can sit there and attach it to the neck, and then on the inside of these sleeves, you roll this up. Now there it’s a little further up than what you would expect because see with see where these are. These aren’t like right down on the cuff, but then then this is the loop on the inside of that.

So the cuffs stay where they’re supposed to stay when you want to utilize it as I’ve completely as a completely heavy jacket. Alright, frankly, not today, we we I, think it’d have just gotten them low 30s today, here in Atlanta Georgia, which is like everybody’s thinks, they’re gonna die, but but but it, but it’s very, very, very well made only drawback and I’m, not letting it affect.

You know how I evaluate this because I’m putting a curve on this thing because of the price. The only drawback is when you bring this thing up, it’s tight in the neck on this. Now, when it’s in the three in one position, you know when I have it as a liner. This never gets zipped, because I’m zipping, the outside of the the shell of the jacket that that zipper- and this doesn’t do this I- don’t know if this is an issue.

I do not believe that this is something that quality control could catch, but that there’s a good possibility of that, but considering the prices I’m paying for this and the purpose for which I’m get I’m using this, for this is perfectly acceptable to me- may not be accept acceptable to you. I have a lot of 16 little over 16 inch neck. If you’ve got a really big neck, you just need to get the next size up.

This is a large, so pull this off real quickly, and so that’s that’s that now you show you this material up a little closer here. The material is very soft. It’s the pleasant color this. This is the the navy, blue and I. Don’t know what they call this. We used to call this weight with blue back in the 80s. Who knows what it is now the shell. It is a liable showing what’s nice, it also has a liner in it.

So when you put the shell on, if you’re wearing a shirt like the shirt that I have on, it’s not going to be grabby and it allow your shirt to uh get to you know not bunch up on you or or if you’re wearing a sweater, for example. Well, that would be that now, of course, these type of jackets by their very nature, they’re gonna, be grabby. Whenever you put anything on this is not it’s got velcro tighteners here on the wrist.

This is a this. Is that zipper that I was telling you about before, rather than go all the way through the jacket? So you can I scratch your arm around why they ever do that on some of the three and once they put it all the way through, but this is an actual pocket. That’s the pocket! On the inside of here, they do give you a little pocket right here now again using my 10×10 s-max I’ll.

Put that in there it doesn’t go all the way down, but because of where it is I believe would be pretty secure unless I was actually skiing or snowboarding, or things that I would never do not at my age, tennis, yes, snowboarding ski absolutely freaking, not, but this is a. This is a very nice jacket and, of course, this thing of this thing, zips up very nicely I should I demonstrated that earlier it’s got nice appointments on it.

You know the little yellow line nerds that they put on this thing impressed with now get mice gym, ice or jennice. You know there’s no way to know how to really really pronounce this thing. This comes in a blue weight, a it’s, not a deep black, but with a black finish here on the inside. They call this thing an uncle and Boer War. You know right here. They call it a collection.

They talk about how this is a breathable this. This is not some of the breathable fabrics that we have here in the US, but it is a waterproof snow proof and sun proof, so it probably won’t break down on you in that, but it is wind proof as well and of course then you’ve got the you know if you’re, if you’re fluent in Chinese, then this is the content. Okay, so but nice jacket, 70 bucks I mean I I’m very impressed with this, because if I mess this up, I don’t care, but it’s a nice jacket.

I really would not want to wantedly mess it up, but but it’s it’s purpose-built I think we have to look at things like that. Doesn’t compare with it with a jacket just three times. This is expensive. No, but it’s not two times as expensive. It’s three times less expensive, and so that’s why we get jackets like this. That’s why I buy jackets like this and I bought jackets like this and I was incredibly pleased with my purchase and you will be too so I hope you get.

Man, I am sweating. This thing is hot, perfect, perfect coat for winter. It’s got this nice liner in here that zips out good jacket for uh all times of the year. I’m warm! You know it’s a little scary to walk underneath these icicles to come in here. I just noticed my jacket is waterproof. That’s pretty cool! It’s like it’s raining on me.

I love the way the water runs down. The ice looks amazing foreign um um. So you.

Now what you have here, these little loops. You see that yeah this little loop here this little loop here and I’ll show you the one on the back of it here.

You can see it there that things sticking out on the back of my neck. That’s another loop! What that does! This is the neck loop, so you can sit there and attach it to the neck, and then on the inside of these sleeves, you roll this up. Now there it’s a little further up than what you would expect because see with see where these are. These aren’t like right down on the cuff, but then then this is the loop on the inside of that.

So the cuffs stay where they’re supposed to stay when you want to utilize it as I’ve completely as a completely heavy jacket. Alright, frankly, not today, we we I, think it’d have just gotten them low 30s today, here in Atlanta Georgia, which is like everybody’s thinks, they’re gonna die, but but but it, but it’s very, very, very well made only drawback and I’m, not letting it affect.

You know how I evaluate this because I’m putting a curve on this thing because of the price. The only drawback is when you bring this thing up, it’s tight in the neck on this. Now, when it’s in the three in one position, you know when I have it as a liner. This never gets zipped, because I’m zipping, the outside of the the shell of the jacket that that zipper- and this doesn’t do this I- don’t know if this is an issue.

I do not believe that this is something that quality control could catch, but that there’s a good possibility of that, but considering the prices I’m paying for this and the purpose for which I’m get I’m using this, for this is perfectly acceptable to me- may not be accept acceptable to you. I have a lot of 16 little over 16 inch neck. If you’ve got a really big neck, you just need to get the next size up.

This is a large, so pull this off real quickly, and so that’s that’s that now you show you this material up a little closer here. The material is very soft. It’s the pleasant color this. This is the the navy, blue and I. Don’t know what they call this. We used to call this weight with blue back in the 80s. Who knows what it is now the shell. It is a liable showing what’s nice, it also has a liner in it.

So when you put the shell on, if you’re wearing a shirt like the shirt that I have on, it’s not going to be grabby and it allow your shirt to uh get to you know not bunch up on you or or if you’re wearing a sweater, for example. Well, that would be that now, of course, these type of jackets by their very nature, they’re gonna, be grabby. Whenever you put anything on this is not it’s got velcro tighteners here on the wrist.

This is a this. Is that zipper that I was telling you about before, rather than go all the way through the jacket? So you can I scratch your arm around why they ever do that on some of the three and once they put it all the way through, but this is an actual pocket. That’s the pocket! On the inside of here, they do give you a little pocket right here now again using my 10×10 s-max I’ll.

Put that in there it doesn’t go all the way down, but because of where it is I believe would be pretty secure unless I was actually skiing or snowboarding, or things that I would never do not at my age, tennis, yes, snowboarding ski absolutely freaking, not, but this is a. This is a very nice jacket and, of course, this thing of this thing, zips up very nicely I should I demonstrated that earlier it’s got nice appointments on it.

You know the little yellow line nerds that they put on this thing impressed with now get mice gym, ice or jennice. You know there’s no way to know how to really really pronounce this thing. This comes in a blue weight, a it’s, not a deep black, but with a black finish here on the inside. They call this thing an uncle and Boer War. You know right here.

They call it a collection. They talk about how this is a breathable this. This is not some of the breathable fabrics that we have here in the US, but it is a waterproof snow proof and sun proof, so it probably won’t break down on you in that, but it is wind proof as well and of course then you’ve got the you know if you’re, if you’re fluent in Chinese, then this is the content.

Okay, so but nice jacket, 70 bucks I mean I I’m very impressed with this, because if I mess this up, I don’t care, but it’s a nice jacket. I really would not want to wantedly mess it up, but but it’s it’s purpose-built I think we have to look at things like that. Doesn’t compare with it with a jacket just three times. This is expensive. No, but it’s not two times as expensive.

It’s three times less expensive, and so that’s why we get jackets like this. That’s why I buy jackets like this and I bought jackets like this and I was incredibly pleased with my purchase and you will be too so I hope you get.

All right so quick follow-up, video for this jacket, so I’ve been skiing for the last over there she’s a shredder and my cousin trav back there shredding as well hate. It’s been raining the whole time here and the jackets held up really nicely. So you can kind of look at that right there. It’s terrible weather here, but it’s held up grape about four hours in the rain, and some snow I want to point out sleeve, actually has a nice cutout for your thumb as well to catch any of that snow.

If you’re gonna use this to board or ski or something like that, so that’s really nice too! It’s a little bit small! So I have a little bit longer arms, probably than this is made for so it’s really tight right there, so I could see it ripping soon, but so far, so good five-hour skiing in the rain in this jacket and I’m still really dry in here. So it’s doing an awesome job guys if you’re interested in this jacket, the link to it will be in my video description below.

Please go ahead and check it out and do your shopping from there. This is definitely just a cheap, ski and snowboard jacket, but so far so good for this five hours on the crystal mountain here in Washington State, it’s held up really nicely, so my gloves are already soaked through I mean we’ve been pounded by the snow here, but it’s still beautiful and really an awesome place to do some skiing.

It’s going to fit the bill just fine! It has some extra length which I like ideate order, a size up for layering fit and finish is what I expect from h/h and I’m familiar with heli tech.

My husband has a thinner raincoat he wears and while that one is completely waterproof and looks nice, it is not meant for colder winter weather. This one is: he can wear this comfortably without any layers underneath in 30 to 40 degree weather and in true Helly, Hansen fashion. It’s completely waterproof and windproof for sizing reference.

My husband thanks for watching I, leave my affiliate links down in the video description below click on those links and they’ll give you most updated prices in real time. You never know when these things might go on sale,.

All right, this is a review of men’s Helly. Hansen 7j ring jacket, there’s a heli Hansen logo on the left side of the jacket. I’ll, take a look at it and see what you think I’m in general. The fabric is pretty soft and smooth and the stitching looks of good quality. It has a nice, it’s recently quiet when you walk it’s not too crinkly or ratalie, but has it it’s just smooth. You won’t see me I guess it sounds like a rain jacket. There are two side, pockets left and right, and then there’s also an internal chest pocket on the inside secured with Velcro a decent amount of space in there like for extra cash or some papers or ever and I would say it’s probably about 5 by 7 in general.

Besides this, it’s kind of Handy zipper here, the right there’s a rain flap that has some extra velcro patches to secure it and then also at the bottom and at the top of that rain. Flap are a snap to help secure it on the right side of the rain flap. There is some nice soft felt kind of fabric there that black part to be gentle to your neck and your chin as you zip it all up, and let’s see here, the inside of the jacket has you have that waterproof layer and the waterproof coating on the jacket, but there’s also mesh netting on the whole inside of the jacket that helps keep it off your skin.

So if you’re a little bit sweaty help with air circulation, you don’t get soaked. Lambing you’re sweating, a nice feature of this jacket too, compared to some others. Some jackets are like this and some that that the inside of the sleeves is smooth fabric instead of netting, so your arm can get in and out easily whether you have short sleeves on, but especially, if you’re wearing a sweatshirt or a different shirt. That is a long as a layer that keeps it from bunching all up and if you ever had that do that, you don’t know what I’m talking about that the bunching all up and you got to readjust your sleeves and your shoulders and everything is kind of a hassle as far as the fit in general.

This does I am able to put a thin layer under it. Make it just like a regular shirt kayvyun for this thickness or even I even tried a fleece underneath it and it did fit, but it was a little bit more snug, but you could pull it up if you wanted to like to have another layer with you on both sides of this jacket on the bottom. Are these little toggles you could squeeze in to pull and cinch it tighter against your body to block wind or water if you need it to, but when I try it on to see the fit, but for me I, don’t really need that because the little trimmer fitting around the hips and so there’s not a lot of extra room on the pockets here they don’t look like they’re secured, really tell you there’s a little connection point there, but there’s still room for ads and ends in here and so far they’ve been holding up.

Okay, but I haven’t had in a super long time. There is a little hook here, like a locker hook. If you want to hang it that way, but a lot of times I just hanging out the hood and motherhood in general, – as it has a brim on the front to keep the rain the rain out and maybe block the wind. A little bit seems to work. Okay, so far tested it in the rain a couple times at least walk into my car from work, and it helps a lot. There is a Velcro adjustment here in the back of the hood, so let’s say you had a smaller head or the brim was hanging down too far in your face.

You could adjust that and make it work better for you. There are two toggles on the sides of the rain hood here, a thing you just pull them down to tighten up the hood around your face and then you just pull off to loosen it and there’s a little slit in the bottom, and you can just lock the cord in and then it’ll keep the length that you want. Alright, what else I have about this jacket that perhaps can be upgraded in future jackets is that the zippers are very small.

They are YKK zippers and they are fairly smooth. But it’s in the morning, like let’s say, you’re cold, it’s dark! You have gloves on or it’s raining. It can be tricky to zip up zippers without fumbling, for it a little bit. What I did is I had some extra cord around a lot like thin paracord and so I added a zipper pull to the main zipper and I, also added it to both pockets and that seems to work far better, alright. Well, let’s try this jacket on I bought size, large I’m, about 510 and hundred ninety pounds.

I usually buy size large insurance. If I was to wear a suit coat jacket, I’d wear a 42, so yeah size large seems to be good good fit. For me, like I, said in general, this has a nice. A lightweight fit seems to breathe, well block the wind, but not be super bulky. Zip it up here at the news of the bullet. You see there pretty well pockets to see and you got that extra pull just so much easier to grab, but everything seems the lay flat the zipper flaps do snap.

The bottom cover things up, there’s a little logo. It says heli tech on the Left sleeve, it’s great. So it’s hard to see in general I like the fit of this coat, because it’s kind of a little bit trim fit. As you can see. My waist is somewhere between 34 and 35 hours depending on it, and you can see by the hips this Jack, some jackets you’ll get, will sit and we’ll low in the hips and then when you’re in the car or you’re doing activities it gets in your ways too tight this one.

As I mentioned, we’ve got those cinch straps on both sides, which we can use to tighten it. But for me, I, don’t really need to say: I’m only got a couple inches yeah, but in general I like how this is a it has a trim, a trim, fit more flattering and I. Think it’s a little bit of lettuce, fit I, really like how they made the shoulders have room. You can see how there’s a lot of space in the shoulders whether you’re you know whether you’re doing anything you want.

It’s got more mobility and there’s length. So if you’re driving your car, you know your arms are still kept covered and dry and warm or if you’re, reaching for things outside. Just in general, it looks like the food is designed to move with you a little better and I, really like that or if you have that second layer under you’re gonna need the shoulder space. I, really like that. It’s not so tight subject as a chest, they’re just too tight, alright and the collar another feature I really like is that the collar and hood are all integrated.

Some jackets will have will have a collar where you can pull up the hood and tuck it into the collar, but then just makes a big bulky collar and most of the time I mean if I have a raincoat on and it’s raining, I want, the hood and I’ll have to undo it and then with it. Just it just looks better just seems simpler and it’s a less one, less thing to go wrong. All right. Let’s try! The hood on I was, if it on up, got that nice flap there to soften the skin higher soften the jacket like I mentioned.

We got these strings so pulled down tight there. We go, they hooded the little visors there, so we’re blocking them in and in water. I’ll take a turn around here. You can see how it fits. I still have that full range of motion, even if there’s um, even with the hood and everything still doesn’t constrict too much, you know still whatever you need to do it’s nice and we can adjust the back of the hood if we need to yeah. So so far, I really like this jacket, I’m a good purchase I think we need to add the zipper pulse and I like the fit.

You see it like I mentioned it about the fit, but how it’s trim in the middle. It helps because I’ll show you a different jacket, where it’s a little more ability on the middle and kind of just gives him your way, but it doesn’t look quite as flattering alright. This jacket, for example, it’s a nice raincoat. It’s even lighter than that. Seven days it’s a LL Bean trio, my old man’s rain wear. This has a really easy zipper too, but now here’s what I was talking about.

You can cinch the sides, but look at how much fabric is in the middle, a giant I’m on the fabric, but they do say that it’s marketing for an extra layer under it which I could see but I had a prior model of this jacket and it has less fabric here. So that was if this jacket can be a couple inches smaller in the middle. That would be a good, a good thing. So, overall, yeah 7j rain jacket is a great rain jacket and I really like it. Thanks for watching alright I just went outside cuz.

It’s raining pretty hard out there and I thought I would show how the water is just feeding right up on the jacket. That’s quite a downpour, the water still beads up and I’m still dry.
