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.

Incredible jacket.

I've found this jacket to be very warm and solid. It's helping with artic blasts. I love the hood for ski days. I like the waterproof shoulder and its a great fit..

Warm and packable

It has performed well in temps down to the teens. I really like the water resistant shoulders that allow me to wear it in light snow without wetting out the down. It is thin enough to wear under my Blackpowder Jacket for when it get really cold and snowy.

Toasty, light, comfy, perfect for all seasons

I'm on my 3rd jacket over several years. Toasty, light, comfy, the perfect option. Love the fleece lined pockets and how it zips up to my neck comfortably for wind chilled days. Fits my xxl size well.

Dissapointmented that the brand.

There was very little I used this jacket on moderate hikes in cool to cold days. There seemed to be very little downdown on the entire back. The jacket provided little warmth from the backside.

Everyday go to with excellent wind resistance

Received as a Christmas gift and finding it perfect for what I wanted. Blocks the wind like nothing else I’ve owned except heavy duty parkas. Good with a simple sweater or fleece underlayer down to the low 20’s or teens. It won’t replace my gear for the worst of the worst weather, but covers the 90% use case I was hoping for. Trim fit, but find the arms are well cut for movement.

Elastic cuffs are great feature for puffy jackets. Super warm and rain resistant top allows for being out in a light rain without soaking.

This one’s a keeper!

This hoody checks all the boxes for me. It’s the perfect weight—warm enough for freezing temps on tough hikes, yet cozy and comfortable for laid-back days. The hood design is flawless, the fit and finish are top-notch, and it’s impressively lightweight and easy to layer or pack while adventuring. Plus, the durability means it’s built to handle any adventure. A+

Fantastic and beautiful Jacket

This jacket came just in time for the 4-day cold freeze here. Temperature drops to 20 degrees Fahrenheit at night and stay in the low 20 for the entire morning. We won’t be out of the freeze until Thursday afternoon. This jacket keeps me warm and it cuts off the wind which is crucial. The design is beautiful. I love the color scheme… the navy blue with orange highlights. Previously I bought the Outdoor Research Men's Deviator Fleece Half Zip with the same color scheme and received many praises. I own many Outdoor Research products and they are consistently great. I highly recommend this jacket.
