Why We Like The Helium Down Jacket

Amazing jacket!
This jacket is exactly what I was looking for. It's lightweight yet still keeps me warm when it's chilly outside. The color is just as pictured and goes great with both blue and black jeans. I'm happy to have found the perfect lightweight jacket!!

Yes, I would buy this jacket again!
I like this Jacket. I had an issue with the first one I had, and I reached out to O.R. They had me send them a few pictures and they sent out a replacement Jacket. Great customer service, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from them again.

A classic that is always in my bag!!
I was in love with my last jacket. I finally "grew" out of the old one alone with many holes and general wear and tear it was time to upgrade.

I would buy this product again and again. Must have!
Decided to buy this jacket after using an Arcteryx down jacket for a while. I found that it was lacking in certain aspects, I was very pleased with the quality of the Helium Down Jacket and will be recommending it. Use it hiking, rucking, duck hunting, turkey scouting, range operations.

Even better than I had hoped! Warm, light and bright!
I've only worn this about 5 times a day since I got it and am loving it! It's been a cool, wet winter in the Bay Area (relatively) and my new Helium jacket is fantastic. It replaced an older model and I don't think that one was ever as warm. The slightly higher collar and fleece lined pockets are great additions to the design.

Light, packable, warm
First few months of winter with this jacket. I have worn it on its own, under a hardshell and packed it as an extra layer. All in all seems great. It packs very nicely in its own pocket, kept me warm in -20, and it's very light. The only downside I found is that the material clings to my skin and gets very uncomfortable if I get even lightly sweaty. If I plan on being active skiing or hiking I make sure to wear a full sleeve baselayer

Perfect mid-weight jacket
I still have my hooded Helium jacket from 5 years ago after much abuse ski touring and constant use. It has a few duct tape patches which is why I got a new one for more public appearances. Solid buy.

Great jacket, sadly it doesn't fit me!
205lbs - 5'11" - 42 chest. Average fitness/shape, minor Dad-Bod with athletic/big thighs and butt. Large fits perfect in my waist and torso, but is snug around the hips just below the beltline. XL is too bulky up top, but fits great around the hips. Sadly, I had to return them both. I really wanted them to fit, as the weight, warmth, and feel of the jacket is fantastic. I layered with a shell and bib pants while trying these on, and could feel the warmth immediately. Nice pocket sizes and placements too.
