Perfectly suited for Vancouver’s wet seasons, Helly Hansen’s new Reykjavik Coat for women adds a stylish, practical staple to your wardrobe. It’s waterproof, windproof and breathable, plus fully seam-sealed with an adjustable, quilted hood.
There’s a sturdy, black front single zipper with two large hand pockets outside and an inner mesh pocket with snap closure for lightweight gloves, keys or a phone.
Inspired by urban life in Nordic capital cities, this modern jacket with clean lines is made with a wool-like, machine-washable fabric that looks equally good dressed up or down.
The sleeves have a little flap that lift to reveal reflective strips for extra visibility at night.
The Reykjavik’s Primaloft® Black Eco insulation offers the perfect weight to transition from fall to winter. You can easily layer a lightweight sweater or mid-weight top underneath.
Black jeans look great with this coat, as do knee-length boots and leggings.
A fun feature of this coat is found on the inside — a printed-on-fabric chart showing annual rainfall amounts in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo and Reykjavik, of course.
Spoiler alert: Stockholm, at 539 mm, gets the least amount of rain out of the five (Reykjavik, at 798 mm, the most).

Helly Tech® Protection
PFC-free Water Repellency treatment
Primaloft® quilted shoulders for comfort and warmth
Tip: The fit is advertised as standard but I find it a bit on the large side for Helly Hansen’s normal sizing, so I wound up having a size smaller sent my way.
The Reykjavik women’s coat is available in charcoal grey in sizes XS to XL for CAD $300/USD $250. Available at Helly Hansen online.
