I'm 5'4" and am still gonna grow, I'm not really looking for a baggy jacket, a little loose but not TWall style, more like a Pollard/Fujas type of fit.  What size do you think I would be, need to keep the jacket for two years so I'm gonna need to have some growing room.  While we're on the topic does anyone know what it's like: good, bad, etc.  If you can just list positives and negatives you have about it.  I ahve no clue how Helly Hansen fits.  Thanks, 10/10 for any helpful answers.
Oh, here's a link to it: http://shop.newschoolers.com/hh3p204ewb9zz-helly-hansen-jackets.html

Well the HH stuff doesnt fit super baggy as it is. Its more of a form fit. I would say a Medium/ maybe a large if you want room to grow into it.

Dude thanks for the fast reply, I'm stressing because my mountain opens this Friday and I still need to get a jacket.  I'll probably get a large, I really hope it's not to big.  Oh 10/10
please anyone else if you can give me your feedback on the jacket and sizing.

I know the fitment pretty well and I'm 6' 165 lbs. and a Medium fits a little big on me. Mind you I'm not a steezin baggy park fit kind of guy.  It's one of the larger fits on our line and a little boxier than most of the HH jackets.  Even small would be baggy on ya but if you want true baggy Medium is likely a good bet.

Thanks man.  I'll have to look around for a small.  You probably saved my ass right there.  I just hope I get the right size.  It's weird though, I'm a large in Orage for the type of fit I want.

Go Medium if you are looking for an Orage style fit. I had a 5'9" kid go for a Large in a similar fit jacket to the Precon for a proper baggy fit.  Let me know if you need help finding a size in the Precon...

just a little heads up, helly hansen isnt really a "form fit" at all. their pants seem to be more baggy than their jackets though.

Thanks for letting me know.  Again, kinda like a Pollard fit.  A lot like Pollard or a little baggier.  Does medium sound correct?  Thanks to everyone for all the positive help.

That is a good point. They do have some super baggy pants. Although i do think it depends on which model HH pant and/or coat you buy..
