It's OK, but

I purchased the Helium jacket based on reviews on another site. It's ultralight and packs down very small. I wanted something that could be stored in a pouch on my hydration belt. I went for a morning run in Arkansas in early January. The temperatures were in the low 40's. For base layers I was wearing a synthetic long sleeve running shirt and an under armor type shirt under that. The Helium windbreaker was my outter layer. I was running on the trails in Hot Springs National Park. When the trail crossed a ridgetop, I was hit by a cold northwest wind. It cut right through the windbreaker. For these conditions my cheap windbreaker that I purchased at target would have been better. I am curious to see how water resistant this jacket is. The jacket vents really well.
I will continue to experiment with this jacket. It's definitely a great addition to cram into your fanny pack on a colder day.
