Why We Like The Helium Down Hooded Jacket

We believe it always helps to have a little extra protection before heading into the wilds. That's why we really appreciate that Outdoor Research gave the Helium Down Hooded Jacket an exceptionally abrasion-resistant shell, as well as waterproof shoulders and a waterproof hood. And with the combination of the lightweight Diamond Fuse Technology and highly packable high-fill down, this jacket ensures you'll be bringing it along on every mountain adventure you can.

Small

This light as a feather 800 fill jacket is so versatile, especially with the hood. Packs down for travel. Super warm. Love this jacket!

Durable and comfortable

This jacket is light enough to be worn under another jacket yet rugged enough to be worn alone. The insulation is awesome, very warm outside yet light enough to wear daily. Great purchase

Like my helium hoodie but am in between sizes

I bought this last year. Apparently I'm in between sizes having ordered a S which was huge, and then an XS which was snug. I regret keeping the XS as I can't layer underneath it when it's below freezing. The chest pocket is too small for a phone. And the waist pockets fit a phone but the jacket is tight so with a phone and keys in the waist pockets, it becomes uncomfortable as well as unflattering. I do love the warmth and the color kalamata.

I love the color, but....

Really warm and well made! I also love the moonstone color! Edit after a few years of wearing the jacket: while I love the color, significant discoloration occurs under the arm pits when sweating to the point of not wanting to wear the jacket. Washing the jacket doesn't solve issue. Purely seems to be the quality of the outer lining

Jacket arrived w/ multiple stains in it

Jacket has multiple stains on it. In its current form it isn’t wearable. This jacket has clearly been worn by another person. The stain is very obvious right on the front of the jacket. I’m giving this score because someone knowingly charged me for a defective product.

Mostly love it

Love the waterproof material on the shoulders! The amethyst color is prettier in real life than in the online photos. I am 5'4 110 lb and the Small is a good size for me. I just wish they made all features shorter/smaller (like the elastic on the cuffs, the drawstring around the waist, and the rim of the hood. I also wish there was a chest inside zip pocket for a phone (I use my outside chest pocket for sunglasses). A drawstring around the rim of the hood would be nice too. I love the dark color for not showing the dirt and keeping the jacket looking nice and new.

The zipper is better than the ghost, but the weight and warmth is not as described. Will return and get another one that is closer to the weight described.

Great, movable, warm jacket

Perfect weight for cold (not frigid) days. Easy to move in, very comfortable. Purchased for my 11 year old and the S fits her well (slightly big, on purpose). It also fits me but is snug at the hips (I am size 6/28 in jeans).

Perfect!

I did tons of research on light puffers before deciding to purchase this hoodie. I've had it for a few weeks now, and I'm obsessed with it. Perfect fit, surprisingly warm. I got it in Saffron, and people are constantly telling me they love it and asking me where I got it.
