Why We Like The Helium Down Hooded Jacket

Light as air and brimming with warmth and protection, the Helium Down Hooded Jacket is our go-to for everything from ice climbing to all-day backcountry tours. It can be stored inside its own pocket and clips onto a harness or stuffs into a pack, so even if it's not always needed, it's always there. Waterpoof fabric along the shoulders and hood protect from dripping water and unexpected snow flurries.

Great coat

Im a wildland firefighter in Montana and this coat has been a great tool to keep in my pack for the cold nights that I have to spike out.

Very warm packs up very nice

Great down hoodie for camping in the summers so far. Gets pretty cold at night where I’m at and this keeps me toasty when there is fire restrictions in place.

Awesome jacket!

This jacket is amazing! Packs down super well, awesome warmth to weight ratio and the waterproof hood and shoulders are so nice. The only major complaint is there is some fraying and loose strands of thread around the zipper and the elastic cinch mechanism. While it's not the warmest jacket on the market, it handles temps of around 40+ degrees pretty well. When not in use as a jacket, you can use it as a small blanket or pillow. In all, definitely a solid choice to have in your gear closet!

Great jacket

The fit is great, loose enough to layer if needed and not restrictive but also not baggy or too loose. Very warm but still light and packable.

I certainly put this item to the test. This down hoodie pulled through some extreme cold and wet snow climates. Overall, it did its job in keeping me warm. I can’t ding it for its functionality as a down jacket. Very packable and warm… what else can you ask for? However the reason I had to go with 3 stars is because after only 1.5 months of wear the outside zipper pocket failed. While I was pushing the limits with this one, I expected more from OR. I am disappointed as their items should be built to last and be of high quality.

Cozy Puffer

Great puffer! I replaced my 15 year old Eastern Mountain Sports (may that brand RIP...) puffer jacket. I love the hood, a feature my last jacket lacked. zippers work well and don't pinch the fabric. I've used this in the desert in the low 20's combined with a light raincoat and stayed super warm. Fantastic mid or outer layer for anyone looking to go where it gets cold. You will like this puffer! Like most puffers, don't let it get wet!
