Helly-Hansen Women's Crew Jacket 2.0 990 Black | Waterproof, Breathable Midlayer for Sailing & City Wear (5X-Large)

Overview

Originally developed as a waterproof insulation layer for sailors, the Helly-Hansen Women’s Crew Jacket 2.0 (990 Black, 5X-Large) has evolved into a versatile midlayer that transitions from deck duties to urban days. With HELLY TECH PROTECTION, this jacket combines windproof, waterproof, and breathable performance in a practical hip-length silhouette. The updated lining, featuring Polartec fleece for warmth, and taffeta-lined sleeves for easy on/off, makes every move feel deliberate and comfortable.

What makes it perform

• 2-layer construction with fully seam-sealed design provides reliable protection from spray and wind.
• Durable Water Repellency (DWR) coating helps water bead and roll off during light rain.
• PFC-free materials support a lower environmental footprint without compromising warmth or durability.

The jacket is built to move with you. An articulated shoulder and elbow design reduces restriction during active days on the water or in the city, while an adjustable hem drawcord and cuffs tailor the fit to your body and layering needs.

Comfort, warmth, and comfort in layering

• The interior combines brushed polyester fleece for soft warmth at the core with a brushed fleece lining inside the collar and hand pockets for added comfort.
• Polartec fleece throughout the body provides warmth without bulk, and the taffeta-lined sleeves allow for smooth layering and easy removal.
• Hip-length cut pairs well with midlayers and lightweight pants for a balanced, versatile look.

Who it’s for and real-life use

• Inshore sailing, dinghy sailing, and marine lifestyle scenarios where weather protection matters as you move between water and dock
• Urban commutes, casual outings, and city explorations where a comfortable, weather-ready layer is handy
• People seeking a breathable midlayer that can function as an insulating layer in cooler conditions or a stand-alone outer layer on milder days

With a regular fit, this jacket is designed to layer over thicker midlayers if you need extra warmth. While it offers strong protection against the elements, it remains a flexible, everyday option that supports a wide range of activities without promising specific results.
