Why We Like The Outdoor Research Helium Down Vest
Lightweight warmth is what earns the Outdoor Research Helium Down Vest its name, but it is its versatility that earns its spot in our closet. The responsibly sourced down insulation provides the "helium-like" lofty warmth, while the low profile cut, raised collar, and durable Pertex face fabric allow us to trust it as a layer or as a a piece of outerwear in the mountains.

Matches my jacket by same company.
5’ 3” and 120 lbs, if that helps anyone. Perfect fit.

Feels like it's heated
I want to live in this vest! As soon as I put it in, it feels like it's emitting heat and warmth! Soft, cozy, with fleece-lined hand pockets, and arm holes that do not feel constricting or ride up too high. I want to buy every single one of these vests!!

My 2nd OT vest
These vests have a great design. They are longish, tapered in just the right places, and warm. This is my 2nd outdoor research vest and also have multiple OT jackets both for spring and winter. Love the quality that each affords us. This is definitely a case of, "you get what you play for".

Never thought I'd buy a vest
For the past year or so, I've been continually stealing my husband's helium down vest, but not wanting to get my own because I didn't want to look nerdy wearing a vest outside the house... I finally broke down and bought one, and I couldn't be happier. So far its biggest adventure has been to the dog park, but it's held up well to being jumped on and pawed at, so I think durability is pretty good. Love the fit as well, body following without being too tight. XS, 5'4", 115lb

Not Too Puffy Puffer
Bought this for my petite (5'2") mother. Got a size M and it fits great. The tapered cut is really flattering and the M still allows space for layering without it being bulky or heavy. The length fit her well as it was not cropped but also not really long.

Perfect Cozy layer
We keep a cool house and this vest is perfect for keeping me warm. I do wish the fabric were not as shiny, but it packs so light and fits well under any jacket, it's hard to complain about such a small aesthetic detail!

Runs small and short
I was excited to try this vest because I work outside. Sadly it was too small and short. PROS: It was very warm. If I wear it zipped it will not go over my hips and butt at all which makes me think it is not a true "womens" cut. If I wear it where it should lay it is not big enough to zip. I will be returning this, sadly.

comfortable and warm
This vest is very comfortable, warm, and packable. I love the toggle at the bottom hem to dial in the fit and better contain body heat. Bought it in black. Would definitely buy another one -- and much more Outdoor Research in general -- if there were more colors I like. I prefer brighter, more fun colors (emerald/jade, fuchsia, sapphire blue, etc.).

She won't take it off!!
This is by far her favorite piece of winter clothing. Very light, very warm and very soft. Pockets are perfect too.
