Could not have asked for a better jacket
Love, love love this jacket. Nice shape and fit and length. Provides lots of warmth. Hellytech waterproof material is a very nice plus. Getting lots of compliments. Fabric design could even pass for dressy outfit.

Good layering for winter & transitional weather activitiees
The jacket is simly beautifully made with brocade pattern and gold polyester lining. It just makes you like a milion bucks while being warm. Probably with a layering with fleece underneath, i might say you will defeat even snow storm easily. Also, I went out for short walk when it was very windy and was in about 30 degrees, the jacket blocked wind more than 90% so that it kept me warm. i was wearing a cotton short sleeve underneath, so the jacket did excellent. Bottom line, you look chic and don't have to sacrifice fashion for being comfy and toasty with this jacket! Truely one of the fine kind as far as considering harsh weather.

GREAT Jacket
I bought one for my sister and for myself. Medium was a bit big for her 5'8" 135 lbs. But, fits me perfect 5'7" 150 lbs. I get compliments on it all the time too and my sister would not let me return it for a smaller size as she liked it so much. Do NOT go by the size charts, I would have bought a large and it would have been too big. Even called Helly Hansen to see what actual measurements the jacket is and they were unable to tell me. But, I would use classic sizing - use the same size as what you would wear for Patagonia or North Face.

Love it, Love it, Love it.
I received my Hilton Parka and loved it even more than what it showed in the picture. The fit was perfect. What I loved about the fit was there was plenty or room in the back and arms and yet it was fitted through the waist. I have had many compliments on it but I love it the best.

good for the price
the item is good for price, but tends to run smaller than usual. Just be aware the fabric is not plain and it has pattern. It's hard to see in the picture, but the pattern is more noticeable than you expect.
