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.

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.

Down Jacket

This jacket is the perfect cold weather gear. My husband is 6’5” and struggles to find gear that is long enough and not too wide. This OR jacket fits perfect. We live in the Midwest and need warm jackets to hike, ski, and hunt. This jacket is warm without being bulky! OR is our go to for high quality, comfortable, and stylish clothing.

Warm & Light

This down jacket is perfect for those cold backpacking trips. It’s super lightweight and so far seems to hold up well to the trail.

Don’t buy

The material is tissue paper. Only buy if you want to wear to dinner or have a shield you can carry to protect it. Big tear in front despite me being very careful. Wore it 4 times.

Great puffy

Highly recommend this puffy for backpacking, hiking and camping. The shoulders have a thicker/tougher material than the material below the chest. packs up small in the hip pocket; can double as a camp pillow. Easy choice for anyone looking for a packable, durable, backpacking hoodie.

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.
