Why We Like The Helium Rain Jacket
The Helium Rain Jacket delivers the most durable, lightweight storm protection that Outdoor Research has to offer. Its Pertex Shield Diamond Fuse shell offers reliable waterproofing, comfortable breathability, and fully sealed seams the prevent a single raindrop from seeping through. Only weighing six ounces, the entire jacket packs into its own chest pocket to roughly fit the size of your palm.

Awesome rain jacket for MTB
I've been eying this jacket for a while, specifically for warm weather mountain biking in PA. So far, so good. My only little disappointment is the lack of hand pockets (There is a chest pocket). I get the zipper and materials add unwanted weight. Great jacket regardless.

Good for running
Pretty breathable for being pretty waterproof! Hood tightens nicely. I'd prefer that it had some venting zippers but other than that it's great! Packs small too

I was looking for a breathable, waterproof jacket for running. This aint it. Nice jacket. Looks nice and seems well made but isnt waterproof. I went out in a mild rain and it was leaking through the fabric within 30 mins.

Not good enough for Washington State
If it's a soaking, steady rain....you will get wet. Mine leaks through.

When Weight Matters
The ultralite Helium jacket and pants are perfect when weight matters. Although they won't keep you dry for too long, they give you enough time to get sheltered and off the trail. They tend to soak through within an hour, depending on how heavy the rain is. I recommend this piece of equipment.

They've changed sizing
New heliums are longer than before, I think the fit is much worse now... however, the newer heliums have a more breathable fabric which is nice.
