Women s helium ii jacket review.

So don t hesitate to reach for your outdoor research helium rain jacket. I also had the opportunity if you will to try this out in a rainstorm. I ordered my helium ii one size too large with the intention of layering it over a down jacket while hiking. By far the smallest and lightest ultralight jacket we tested the helium ii is our top pick for ultralight adventures.

It sets the bar as our classic pick for the ultralight backpacker. The outdoor research helium ii rain jacket weighing in at a scant 6 2 ounces for a men s medium is fully wind and waterproof decently well featured and fits the bill for both ultralight die hards and comfort ultralighters. Listed as one of the best women s waterproof jackets i found that it s small size and light weight houdini jacket weighs in at 3 6 oz this weighs in at 5 5 oz make it the perfect jacket in a pinch. Minimalists this is your solution for maximum storm protection.

Today i want to do a review of a waterproof hiking jacket that caught my eye first and foremost because of its weight. Helium ii jacket the sky doesn t wait for you to finish your rappel before it opens up. It even packs into its own pocket down to the size of a sandwich making an easy addition to your harness backpack or running vest. However this is really only true when the jacket is zipped at least halfway.

The outdoor research helium ii jacket is so light i had to look twice to confirm i wasn t imagining things. Hence why it s called helium i suppose. Even with this in mind the fit is very nice. The jacket doesn t balloon out the way some other lightweight windbreakers rain jackets do.
