The Helium Rain Jacket has been keeping ounce-counting adventurers dry and warm for over ten years. This detailed review shares how mine held up to heavy use and what I like and dislike about the latest version.
Summary: The Outdoor Research Helium Rain Jacket is a favorite thanks to its featherlight weight, tiny packed size, and functional-yet-minimalist design. Though it's not the best choice for gnarly alpine conditions or back-to-back soggy days, the Helium is surprisingly durable and really shines as a wind and occasional rain layer in moderate 3-season conditions. It may not stand up to many years of heavy use, but at its affordable price point I can't complain.
