No side pockets??? Why not? Been several versions since you removed the hand pockets. If you had double check pockets, at least that would be a reasonable trade off. So disappointing
Welp, it had been sunny all week, but it had to change on Wednesday. I was heading to go photograph some mountain bikers, and on my way to the trails, it started raining, then hailing, then blowing, and it was a mess for sure. When I got to the trail head it was just down pouring. The only thing I had was my new Helium Jacket and since it's new, I was a bit worried. The previous model was a single layer design and really wasn't up to heavy rain or lots of rain. This thing is a beast! I was out for 3-4 hours in the deep forest getting hailed on, rained on, blown away and my down jacket underneath was bone dry. The new design is so nice and lays on you so well. I was able to move and scramble over rocks and brush with no issue. The only thing I don't like is not having front pockets, but that isn't a deal breaker for me since I think of it as an emergency jacket that I'll take off once it stopped raining, the only thing is, I didn't want to take it off.
Super light weight. Keeps you dry. Very packable. Can’t wait to use under performance load. Bought specifically for Alaska expedition
