Helium Insulated Hooded Jacket - Men's

My favorite packable outer layer for camping/backpacking.

Could have been Great

This is the poorest cut jacket I've ever worn. I am 6'3" and 215... I'm not small. I purchased an XL. The body wears like a 55 gallon garbage bag. The sleeves are so short that when I reach for anything, the cuffs are instantly near my elbows. The fabric and insulation are solid, but they don't work if you never wear the jacket because you have no confidence in it. I bought this as an insulation layer for ski patrol... Ive not used it once for this purpose since the sleeves are obscenely short. It is really frustrating. This product needs to be completely redesigned before I'd recommend it to a friend.

Lightweight Jacket

Large fits great. It is not an athletic fit but more capable of being layered. It's very lightweight and packable.

Light and weather resistant

I like to use this layer when I'm expecting precipitation and I'll substitute my down jacket for this one.

My go to light jacket

Since I received this it has been my go to. I use it pretty much use it in all conditions. From warm windy days to below freezing. It has been up 14rs in Colorado to Canyons in Southern Utah. For me and what I have done with it durability has not been an issue. 10/10 would buy again.

This jacket is extremely versatile and the daily driver. I'm a bike guide and am outside early in the morning when you need a little more insulation to start the day and this is exactly that. I like that you can wear it from working on bikes to going out to a nice dinner at night and it works equally well. Everyone has patagonia puffy jackets so I figured I would try another brand and this material seems extremely durable for such a lightweight jacket. Even being synthetic, its very packable and nice to have the warmth when wet!

Absolutely love this coat. Warm, breathable and compacts down as well.

Great Light Weight Jacket

This is a great light weight jacket. Ive use it hiking in light rain conditions, used it climbing/belaying, as well as a causally wearing around. I've rubbed it on rocks, snagged on trees no damage. It is warm, durable, and repels rain.

Great jacket/hoodie, warm, light, durable. A true value. love the deep inside pockets.

wind proof and amazing!

i love this jacket. i got a med, but should have gotten a large. that doesn't matter too much though as i still have room to put another insulating layer underneath. doesn't need much to keep you warm. the hood is nice and adjustable. i use it for everything. it is weirdly baggy, but tight.
