Outdoor Research Helium II Jacket - Men's
Minimalist Protection

Ranked #1000 - Men's Rain Jackets

Good lightweight jacket, among the lightest in its class. It has 1 external chest pocket, one internal lower pocket, and draw hem. The zipper feels good, and the coverage and sleeve length are spot on IMO. The hood fits well, but probably not usable with a helmet. I am 5-8, 135 lbs, and the small fits me very well.
I havent had this jacket in the elements yet, but it seams to be very well put together.
