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.

Awesome

Exactly what I needed. Great for winters in Montana and traveling to Alaska. Warm, windproof. Haven’t tested the waterproof ability yet, but keeps me dry in a snowstorm. Will be packing it in my backpack for a wind river trip this fall.

Best jacket ive ever purchased

I bought a couple of yrs ago and really impressed in all weathers it is my go to jacket as it keeps me warm in all conditions - if its wet I wear a waterproof light goretex jacket on top - my favourite features are the external chest zip pocket for my phone and the internal stash pockets - I need to get another as sadly with age I need a larger one - couldn't recommend more highly (and it feels so light)

Great Jacket

One of my favorite down jackets in my collection. It has great fill and added material in the arms and shoulders for water resistance and toughness. Not as slim and tapered as patagonia but a great fit and true to size. It worked great for a two week trip through Europe in January. This is a great everyday jacket for the winter months!

Verify your size

I was thrilled to receive this jacket as I had been looking at it for some time. I am 5'7" 150lbs and my measurements align with the sizing chart but I put it on and when I lifted my arms it was like a belly shirt, very disappointed! I recommend trying it on at a physical store if you are able to do so and definitely size up or go 2 sizes up if you're unable to do a test fit.

Perfect puffer

This is great three season jacket on its own it also pairs well as insulation layer under any shell. From wearing in town to sleeping in it this has served me well. The waterproof shoulders is great when setting up camp in light snow or rain and not get soaked through

wamr and durable

used this at work during -30°f temps with layers and kept me plenty warm. the thicker material on the shoulders protected the jacked from a heavy weighted survey vest and the jacket has held up very well for extended periods outside in the woods, may be a bit warm for vigorous activity but perfect for normal use in cold temps.

Really liked the look and weight of the jacket. I usually wear a medium but found this particular cut a little too tight for my liking. 5’10” 165

Its a great packable. I would say it’s slightly small and or more form fitting. Took it to a packers game and it worked great. Kept me warm.

Down Hoodie

Good quality item. Haven’t used it outdoors yet, but around town in the cold it’s great to throw on and get around in. Extremely light.
