Comments about Outdoor Research Helium II Jacket (Men's):
I strictly bought this jacket because a waterproof jacket is a required item for a race. I have never been a big fan of waterproof jackets just because they are usually bulky and hot; and I like to stay as comfortable as possible trail running. I was completely thrown when I tried this out on a cold, wet, windy 20 mile run on the Duncan Ridge Trail! The weather was beautiful at the base, but then we entered in a cold fog with spouts of rain. This jacket is awesome! It kept me completely dry and warm throughout the entire day! I run with a Salomon Slab XT5 pack (a small running vest) and it easily packed inside without any problem. I recommend this to any trail runner that needs a light jacket!

Comments about Outdoor Research Helium II Jacket (Men's):
Awesome jacket! I've used it camping and hiking, and it's held up to rain and snow here in the Rockies. It's surprisingly good against the wind, and it's stowable. This thing will get thrown in every pack I ever put together from now on. It's a must have essential in the backcountry, especially if you're wanting to go ultralight.
Pros
- Fits right sheds water
Cons
Best Uses
- Wet and windy weather
Comments about Outdoor Research Helium II Jacket (Men's):
In spring and summer camping where occasional wind and rain showers seem to come out of nowhere.This jacket is my weapon of choice against whatever mother nature can throw at you.
