Helly Hansen Aden Longline Rain Jacket vs The North Face Women's Quest Mono Jacket

Buy the Helly Hansen Aden if you want a longer coat that covers the hips and thighs and comes in a wider size run. Buy The North Face Quest Mono if you want a lighter, packable shell with a detachable hood and a windproof membrane for hiking. The Aden scores slightly higher with owners (4.8 from 1,732 ratings versus 4.6 from 691), but both are proven waterproof shells. The Aden is the heavier, more city-and-commute coat; the Quest Mono is the sportier layer.

• Choose the Helly Hansen Aden if you want a longline waterproof coat with a two-way zip, a high collar and sizes down to XS and up to XXL.
• Choose The North Face Quest Mono if you want a loose, windproof hiking shell with a detachable hood that packs down small.
