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.

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.

Great fit! I wear this under my shell on cold days and Pertex Quantum waterproofing keeps me dry.

Outstanding jacket

Warm, good looking and compresses to a small and comfortable camping pillow. Water resistant hood and shoulder material are a great addition. I'm 6'3" 245#s with long arms and the XXL is perfect.

Warm and light

It's been a great coat so far. Purchased it with the hope of using it for backpack hunting but it's a little shiny for that. It is very warm and the weight is good for packing. As I break it in it's more likely I'll use it for hunting as its loosing its sheen (really just because its dirty but I'm good with that). I'm happy with the purchase and like this brand based on other products as well.

Fantastic jacket, runs on the fitted side

I’ve had great luck with OR‘s quality and performance for the last number of years, and this jacket is no exception. Be aware that their jackets tend to run slightly fitted. Great jacket, great performance, and I would totally buy again, albeit one size up.

Best puffy jacket

The OR helium hoodie is by far my favorite puffy jacket that I own. The shoulders are reenforced with an abrasive resistant material that is far more durable that the rest of the jacket. If you're anything like me, your puffy jackets get tattered up quickly. This one has lasted the longest for me without too much damage. It doesn't pack down the smallest and takes up about as much space as a Nalgene in the pack, but worth it for the hood and stronger materials.
