Great light weight vest
Fits well,packs down small to stash when not needed. Use for winter hiking or extra layer on cold snowboard days. Holding up well after a couple years.

Very light and warm. Perfect layer to pack when the day gets warm…it’s slightly snug around the chest, I’m 510 and 200 lbs muscular build/large chest and shoulders. I find the xl to be slightly loose and the large to be slightly snug only around my chest

Runs Small!
Quality is good, but this runs small! I got a medium and it fits way smaller than all of my other medium items. Size up!

My best mid layer addition of the year.
I was skeptical of the modern, thin, down jackets and vests. I’ve loved my old style, bulky down vests, and had full faith in the warmth of down. The Outdoor Research Helium Down Vest has become a daily part of my kit working at a ski area. The cut is definitely very athletic or snug, which does make it amazing for layering over. I’m normally somewhere between a large and extra large, the XL fits much closer to a large than a XL. While not the most flattering for fashion wear, but it’s perfect for how warming layers are meant to be worn. Generally I’ll wear this vest over my base layer and under my other mid layer. Thought the day I might remove my other mid layer and use just this vest and my shell. As with all of my Outdoor Research gear I’m very impressed and happy with my purchase.

Perfect Down Vest!
Love this vest so far. Perfect for active outdoor sports. Fit is excellent, just enough space to fit it over a fleece. Has a good amount of loft for how light it is. The arm holes have a good fit and elastic which really holds in heat compared to other vests I have tried.

Great vest
Lightweight and warm. The fit is smaller than I expected, but makes layering easier.
