Why We Like The Outdoor Research Helium Pant
The Outdoor Research Helium Rain Pant has probably logged millions of miles in hikers' backpacks, thanks to its lightweight and highly packable design. The Pertex Shield shell is 100% waterproof and seam-sealed, and it features a diamond fuse weave that makes it 5 times more tear-resistant than the old Helium. Even so, it's still ultralight and ultra-packable, leaning into weight savings for the backpackers and thru-hikers who want to carry as little weight as possible and still have some lightweight protection against the surprise showers and squalls that might sneak up on us. When we do need added rain protection, the Helium slips on quickly to give us breathable waterproofing for our hikes and travels.

Light weight and packable but Terrible durability.
I have had 3 different pants and all 3 of them have had the crotch seam split within wearing them for a few hours. The first one I assumed was because the sizing was wrong but it happened with its replacement and the 2nd pair I had gotten for work. It is super packable and light weight but it had 0 durability to the point where I would take a knee and the crotch splits. I would not recomend these pants to anyone who does more then walking in them. I love alot of the OR kit but these pants have been a major dissapointment.
