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.

Wish it had a longer torso
I've been shopping for a 850 fill down jacket for backpacking and 3-season wear. I wanted this jacket, but couldn't accept the torso length. I'm 6'2" and 230 pounds with brood shoulders. Chest, arms, and waist were fit well with room for a mid-layer. If the torso was 1-2" longer I'd have kept it as my go-to jacket.

Best jacket that I've ever put on my back
This is by far the best jacket that I've ever owned. It's extremely comfortable with excellent pockets. The Diamond Fuse shell fabric is super durable and I appreciate the waterproof shoulders and hood. This is my third Outdoor Research jacket that I own and they just keep getting better. Thanks OR!

Great fit. Lightweight enough to pack.
Perfect fit. Nice and light. Wish the color could have been more red as shown on the website. Turned out to be a burned red.

My go-to jacket
This is a great jacket. I have taken it everywhere with me. The thing that I find with many other down jackets is that they are not durable enough for the clumsy lifestyle that I have. The Helium fabric on the shoulders and hood is awesome! It especially sheds off rainy Seattle weather, but is also very durable. It is my favorite down jacket I have ever owned. I did need to size up for this one so that I could wear a fleece underneith it as well. If you wanted a more fitted look and feel I would keep with your normal jacket size.

Prefect cold hiking coat
Shoulder material works great with a pack. Very warm and comfortable even with hood on. Good fit over layers with suggested measurements from website. Fleece lined pockets are super. Doing great keeping a tough West Virginia winter with negative temps and harsh winds at bay.

Great Jacket for cold and slightly wet weather
This puffy is a perfect jacket for PNW winters. It keeps you warm and dry without having to wear a rain jacket. It's my go to jacket for middle of winter. I am 5'8", 165lbs and wear a size small.

Perfect for cold and humid Montreal winter temperature
Very pleased with the product. I'm 6'5" and 210 pds. XL size fits well to my body and also under my OR AscentShell jacket. Not to puffy. The length of the sleeves are perfect with my long arms. I live near Montreal, Quebec, where winter can be quite cold and humid. Bought the hoodie with the perspective of using it while taking a lunch break during a hike or at the end of a day-hike, but so far, mainly used it in day-to-day activities in and around town. The warmth and wind resistance do well the job so far. Looking forward to "stressed it" in harsher conditions.
