Why We Like The Helix Jacket

The Helix is our first layer packed when preparing for our yearly ski getaway. The cozy merino fill has ultralight loft and microclimate managing powers, giving us a low-profile fit that breathes, wicks, and warms under our shell as we slice corduroy in frigid temps, while the water-resistant exterior fends off flurries as we explore foreign towns.

Boring

Terrible shillouette for the slender/athletic gentleman. Recommended for walking enthusiasts who are not interested in style.

Super Versatile

An super great looking and performing jacket! I take it as a layer when I am backpacking year round! Certainly has kept me from wanting to get an Atom lt! the only gripe is that the sleeves are LONG on mine. it looks like they may have been updated tho!

multi purpose jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very packable, light and keeps you warm. The cuffs are a bit too loose (unlike other models). Love the color.

Great for the windy days and even in light rain

This jacket now compliments my Gore-tex jacket for the rainy season here in BC. On the cold dry days it really keep the wind off me and warm without over heating. The pockets are awesome for when I have no gloves as they really allow my hands to warm up fast. On light to moderate wet days this jacket works great too. I have not tested it out in heavy rain as on the west coast you dress differently based on the precipitation.

Exactly What I Was Hoping For

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm slowly converting almost everything I wear to wool. One thing I was missing was the right day-to-day jacket. I was hoping this jacket would be the one...and it was. It's my day-to-day outer layer around town and I love it.

Great Jacket, very light.

It is a very light jacket, as this might surprise some people but this is the point. A light jacket. The shape is a bit more fit then a regular cut. It is a great jacket overall.

Almost perfect

I do like long sleeves on this jacket as I have long arms. However I’d like the sleeves to be a little more tailored at the cuffs. They tend to get in a way especially since they are long. Also the zipper is on the wrong side for a male garment but perhaps icebreaker doesn’t change the side of zipper. It’s just a little weird. And yes I checked. I got the make jacket.

Comfortable over a wide range of temperatures

Perfect for skiing as a layer under a hardshell. Arms were a little on the long side for me.

Sleeves are way too long

I read the reviews AFTER I placed my order, and sure enough, the sleeves are way too long. They hung down to cover up most of my husband's hands, and this is a jacket. You don't roll the sleeves up. It looks very strange, considering the rest of the jacket is tailored so nicely. I love Icebreaker products, and was disappointed in this particular product, which I am returning. Why are people rating it so high with the long sleeves???

Nice jacket

Nice, warm and light jacket, perfect for a chill day or use as mid layer with a waterproof layer over it for a colder day. The only issue I have is that the sleeves are a bit long but it is solvable by folding them.
