Nice jacket
Nice jacket but the arms feel tight for me. It’s very warm but I do wish the shoulders and body were the same color rather than shiny. I haven’t gotten the opportunity to wear it much yet but I’m looking forward to

Excellent quality
This jacket punches well above the price point. It packs down and can be zipped into it's own pocket. At that size it can be used as a travel pillow or can be squeezed down to even more to about the size of a 1 liter Nalgene bottle. The shoulders are reasonably water and wind resistant. I would order your regular size, and if you're not sure which would fit then order one size up. They tend to size on the more conservative side.

A nice light down jacket
Good quality, with more durable material over shoulders, but thin on the down in this area.

Incredible value
At MSRP, this jacket would not be particularly noteworthy or differentiated from the glut of similar performance-oriented down jackets from reputable manufacturers at that price point. That is not a Nock. By all appearances it is well constructed and has durability enhancements in the right places for use with a pack and other outdoor activities. But to get a lightweight, highly packable high fill-power performance down jacket at this price is an unbeatable value.

Excellent fit, nice slim puffy jacket
It's Outdoor Research - a known company for making quality products. This jacket does not dissapoint, though time will tell for how warm it is once winter starts in full force. It's a nice fit with plenty of length in the sleeve for a 6'3" frame. It has a little bit of roominess in the torso for larger torsos, or an extra layer underneath for slimmer folk. It isn't bulky at all, and it looks really nice on. Seems like the outer material will hold up to some scuffs without ripping...seems like it's a touch thicker to be more durable. Very happy with it.

Great jackeet
I live in the Rockies and spend a lot of time outdoors. OR makes great insulated products. This is perfect for cool fall and sunny winter days. If get gets cooler, I just add a shell. I love the durability of OR's gear.Whether for a trip to the store or hiking, this is perfect.

Another solid OR jacket
Have had great experiences with OR gear. Haven't put this to use yet, but zippers and fabric looks like they will hold up through several winters. Contrasting zippers and two shades of blue make this stand out.

Lightweight with some weather resistance
Love that this uses a fairly high fill power down (800+), making it warm and space/weight efficient. I have higher fill power items like MH ghost whisperer UL (1000 FP), but most UL garments use fragile fabrics and don't have any weather protection, so they're really limited to cold, dry weather. The Helium Down Jacket has weather resistance in key areas due to the Pertex Diamond Fuse panels, which makes it more versatile. It won't be a great outer layer if you're expecting heavy rain, but I wear it by itself in a light mist or under a shell if heavy rain is expected. The Pertex panels are a little crinkly, but not as loud as some reviews suggest. I found the sizing to be accurate. This is quickly becoming a staple of my wardrobe from fall through spring. Thanks OR!
