outdoor research helium jackets

I wore it for what I thought was raining come Nope just a shower Waiting for a Wellington downpour :)

next week will see a good test

might be a problem in warmer weather, it doesnt have pit zips or vented pockets to get rid of buildup of sweat. still it's a very compact, lightweight jacket, not sure how long the material will last being so thin, friction against teh pack can wear teh thinner fabrics faster, I see jackets like that more of jackets you take if there is less of a chance of rain. I prefer something that has vents in it if it's going to be raning a lot, otherwise i end up drenched in sweat in anything but the coldest conditions.

Very good jacket. If your wanting a lightweight tramping/adventure racing jacket then it is great. Material will last a good amount of time but due to being a lighter weight thinner jacket it has a higher chance of being damaged. They roll down to a small size which allows it to be easily stored. They are a very breathable jacket and are amazingly water proof for how light weight they are. Very comfortable jacket which allows a lot of body movement.
