Great Simple Light Jacket

Wanted something that was packable and warm from an independent company, thanks for the deal!

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!

Short Breast Pockets

It's nice, but why do you and other manufactures refuse to put an additional pocket on the other side of the vest making it a two pocket vest........One for your ski pass and another for a cell phone that you need when you are in a difficult position when your hurt on the ski run it self and no one is there to help. Fair question with the usual no answer...

Warm And Pretty Robust

This jacket I has an incredible warmth to weight ratio. The reinforced areas are positioned perfectly for use with backpacks and tactical gear. Very comfortable and warm. Packs up very nicely if you’re a backpacker and space conscious.
