Helium Down Vest - Men's

Awesome little vest

Vest is super light weight. Very comfortable. Great as an outer garment or a mid layer. Inner chest pockets are great for things like passports. Side pockets are lined with soft cloth that is nice and warm on the hands. Vest is great around town or living out of a pack. Doesn't stuff into it's own pocket but it stuffs great into a bag, which I prefer.

Great vest!!

Comfy and warm! It’s my go to for around the house, out on the town, or out on the trail!

Size medium fits well, I’m 6’ and approximately 150lb. Vest is very warm. Chest pocket and internal pockets are a nice touch. One minor thing is the internal loop for hanging on a coat rack could be just a little bit nicer.

Super nice vest light and comfortable..... fit is on point

Midlayer upgrade, great rain shell pairing

Got this for a ski trip to whitefish. Temps get pretty cold on the mountain compared to hood so I wanted an extra layer. This thing is toasty but also super comfy. Since the ski trip I have been pairing it with my rain jacket in dog walks. Full down sleeves make me too hot in the spring. Love to wear this at my desk in the morning while I warm up and get my day in full swing.

Excellent fit and great for layering

This vest fits as advertised, layers well beneath a shell, and looks good when worn by itself. I wear for skiing when additional warmth is needed but without the bulk of a down coat.

Construction quality seems good, but it's not a good fit for athletic build. I'm 6'0", 175lbs, and long arms. The arms of the Medium are actually long enough for me, which was great, but the body (torso) was too short and loose-fiting. Returned it after trying on so can't comment on durability. Also would have been nice to have a cinch to tighten back the hood for better visibility.

Men's Helium Down Vest

This vest is GREAT. It is also extremely warm. We've had temps in the teens for the last few weeks and this has been excellent at keeping me warm. I had a seam issue with my prior vest from OR and the return and replacement was so easy. Great company and will continue to buy from them.

Great vest

I am 6' tall, 175 and the large fits perfect. It's warm and looks great.

Love the Helium line!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the vest because I love the hooded jacket. First rate quality and super comfort! Can't wait for cold weather.
