Why We Like The Helium Down Hooded Jacket

Light as air and brimming with warmth and protection, the Helium Down Hooded Jacket is our go-to for everything from ice climbing to all-day backcountry tours. It can be stored inside its own pocket and clips onto a harness or stuffs into a pack, so even if it's not always needed, it's always there. Waterpoof fabric along the shoulders and hood protect from dripping water and unexpected snow flurries.

Customer Images

Here's what customers have to say

The jacket provides exceptional warmth, with customers noting it keeps them warm in temperatures as low as 20°F even when layered with just a base layer. The lightweight and packable design, along with water-resistant features, make it suitable for various outdoor activities like hiking, backpacking, and skiing. The reinforced shoulders and hood offer additional protection from wind and rain. While some customers have reported issues with the down quality and recommend sizing up, the jacket is widely regarded as a high-quality, versatile option that delivers excellent warmth and weather protection.

OR puff jacket

Good jacket. Like the gortex hood and shoulders. Just wish the were a little more durable. Very warm, and good fit especially if wearing other layers. The fit was a little weird, but once I used it for a few days it grew on me. I would say that this jacket is a good all around jacket, just wish the gortex was more durable. I would say that if you want a semi light puffy and is pretty warm, this is the jacket for you.

Men’s Helium Down Hoodie

Too big, Pocket fabric is uncomfortable, Cant Return.

Some reviews mentioned that this runs small so I ordered a size bigger. I am 5"11/180lbs and usually fit a medium so I ordered a large and it is way too big. The fabric inside the hand pockets feels really rough and is extremely uncomfortable to touch. Buyer beware from this brand is that you cannot do an exchange. So make sure you gamble correctly on your size. the Jacket is warm but doesn't pack down very small. It is advertised as lightweight but not UL.

Great jacket, does exactly what I need it to. Wish the material wasn't as flashy and a little more matted but thats just a personal style preference.

Looks fantastic

Used daily in the winter. Great insulator and fantastic color combination. Not intended for the rain, serves as a good mid layer if in wet weather.

A few good years

I've now used this product many more times than when I initially submittied a review. So far it has been nothing but durable, convenient, and warm when using it in combination with other good layers, even in subzero temperatures. I've been using it for a few years on hikes in the snow, and some light mountaineering. So far it has been nothing but durable. Packing it in its own pocket is one of my favorite features for space saving.
