More special than your average insulated mid-layer, the Outdoor Research Helium Insulated Hooded Jacket sets itself apart by combining extreme packability with durability that lasts season after season. This winning combo is achieved thanks to the VerticalX Eco insulation and Diamond Fuse face fabric, which respectively help the jacket pack down to fit in our bag easily and keep us stress-free at the crag, on big walls, and when bushwhacking through the forest.

I made a big mistake betting on this one!
What an awful fit of a jacket. How can Outdoor Research sell any of them for the normal price. I know I took a chance buying it at a supposedly deep discount but what good is it when I have to donate a brand new item to whoever has a weird body to wear it! You have to have a big chest, extremely narrow waist and hips, plus the torso of the jacket is out of proportion. Anyways this was the worst item I bought so far. A

The only jacket you will ever need
I live in Ontario, Canada, and our weather is crazy all the time. I have worn this jacket everyday since October, and it is the best outdoor piece I have ever owned. I walk my dog 3 times everyday regardless of the weather and this jacket is the best for any and all weather conditions. I had to write to ask OR to keep making this jacket PLEASE!!!!! It is super lightweight, yet so warm and water resistant. I have been in rain storms, and snow storms and it handles like a beast!!! I cannot understand the technology, however, it is the last jacket I will ever need. (However, would love another colour). Saying that the red/orange is terrific for visibility when walking late at night or the early mornings. Thanks OR, this jacket is the very best.

So disappointed...
I really wanted to look past a few of the other reviews and not believe they would make a jacket the fits that terribly but it's true. I followed the size chart and everything. It is huge! The area around the chest and arms is so ill-fitting and large that it wouldn't even do its job properly, at all, to keep you warm.

Super lightweight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great jacket - super lightweight compared to my NF puffer. I do see what others wrote about the sleeves - they seem a little on the larger side but not something I mind. I am 5'5 and ~112 lbs and fit comfortably in the XS.

lightweight and good warmth
I like that this is really lightweight but good warmth in mild cold weather. I've only worn it around town so far in about high 30s degree weather at coldest with usually a T and flannel and it's kept me warm even on a bike. It's also great that I can wear it on warmer days like 50 but I don't get too hot. When it's cold and raining I wear it under the helium rain jacket when I bike. I have a size S which gives a little room for layers underneath (I'm 5' 2", 110lbs). Look forward to seeing how it will do in colder weather - !

Love the color: tangerine!
I bought this because I really like bright colors and this delivers, I'd call it more tangerine/orange-ish rose, than red, but it's a GREAT color. I like the two side zipper pockets, inside pockets and the fitted hood. I'm 5-8 and the sleeve length is great as often things that fit have too short sleeves, plus it's a bit long over my hips which I like. The attached tag reads Womens M, but the sewn in label reads M/M, so I'm thinking maybe the longer sleeves and shoulder roominess is actually a Mens cut....?

stoked on this jacket
The fit is a little odd - the hips need to be a little wider, the bust is very roomy, arms are long. Regardless, I still love the jacket, it's warmth, packability, and color are all awesome!

Should have stuck to my normal size
I listened to the reviews and bought a size up... should have stuck to my normal size. I'm 5'6" 130lbs and would usually order a small. Got the medium... sleeves are past my thumbs, really baggy fit. I'll be Using it for Search and Rescue; my team's color is orange.

Perfect layering and spring piece
I love my helium jacket for spring activities and layering in the winter. It fits great and is surprisingly warm.

Been living in this jacket!
Great as a light or mid layer for resort skiing and touring. Comfy at home and about town. I love it! I sized up for an extra baggy fit and it still works under my OR shell. I got an XL (bust ~38", tend to wear size 10 in tops). I ordered a large and returned it, it was still loose but a little more stylishly snug.
