Tested thoughout the Swiss Alps and Rockies
Summer hike where it may just rain? Spring ski tour with wet snow everywhere? The Outdoor Research Helium Rain Ultralight Jacket will stand up to the harshest conditions year after year and it’s so small, you’ll forget you have it in your pack. Folding up into the front pocket to the size of a baseball, you’ll never regret throwing this in the bottom of your pack or clipping it to your waist for the just in case scenario. I like this jacket because it only has the most necessary features and has built in stretch exactly where you need it. Through slushy winter storms and summer downpours this jacket has kept me dry and warm from the Swiss Alps to the windy Colorado Rockies.
