Great jacket, made of high-quality materials and – what is important to me – it has a very feminine, attractive cut. It works well both in the summer over a T-shirt and in the autumn over a fleece. It fits perfectly. I haven't had the opportunity to test it in rain outdoors yet, but I have a feeling it will do well. The only downside is the regular price, which is quite high. Fortunately, I managed to buy it with a discount, so I immediately encouraged my wife to buy it. I'm eyeing the men's version myself, but I'm waiting for a good promotion because the regular price is definitely too high.
The women's hardshell rain jacket, equipped with a three-layer TorrentStretch membrane, features a very good water resistance rating of 30,000 mm water column. Breathability is 30,000 g/m2, and the RET evaporation resistance coefficient is<5.
The membrane, made of three laminated layers, prevents the ingress of water, but at the same time provides adequate air circulation. Underarm vents allow you to regulate body temperature. The jacket is coated with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) water repellent coating, free of harmful PFCs. Additional protection against moisture is provided by taped seams and waterproof YKK AquaGuard zippers.
The jacket is distinguished by its contoured, feminine cut. Velcro-fastened cuffs and drawstrings at the waist allow for a customized fit. An adjustable hood with a high collar protects against precipitation and wind. The main zipper is two-way, secured with a Prym snap, and when folded, the jacket fits inside the hood.
The Hardhsell features three zippered pockets - two on the outside and one on the inside for documents or a phone. A grommet for a headphone cord has also been placed inside. A velcro panel on the left shoulder allows attaching patches, emblems or so-called Morale Patches.

I am very satisfied with the jacket; the waterproofing is outstanding! However, you should order one size larger, especially if you plan to wear the jacket layered over a thick insulated jacket in winter. The jacket has all the features that a good rain jacket should have!

The project takes into account all the important details appreciated by hardshell users. The Squall jacket is a fully functional rain jacket with taped seams, a hood with two-point adjustment, and a high collar. Additional protection from moisture is provided by waterproof YKK® AquaGuard® zippers, with the main zipper being two-way and secured at the bottom with a Prym brand snap. The surface of the Squall jacket is coated with a hydro-repellent DWR (Durable Water Repellent) layer that is free from harmful PFC substances.

The Helikon Squall Hardshell women's jacket in Taiga Green is a product of excellent quality. Even after numerous washes, it retains its intense color, does not pill, and is resistant to seam splitting. The quality is truly outstanding—we highly recommend it together with my partner.
