Although shoppers have raved about the waterproof design of this lightweight jacket, they note that it is on the thin side.
"I love the fit, looks great and is actually really waterproof. As stated, it doesn’t really keep you warm, but makes an awesome top layer," one person shared.
If you're looking for a heavier rain jacket with some insulation, you'll want to consider one of the brand's other styles instead.
The verdict
For a jacket that keeps you protected from the wind and rain, it's hard to beat the Helly Hansen Seven J Rain Jacket. Some reviewers suggest opting for a size up in case you plan on wearing it over sweaters, or saving this one for once the temperature rises in later spring — especially since it isn't insulated.
However, reviewers agree that it's a solid choice for wet weather, and also works well to bring along on camping trips, hikes, and more.
