Meet the windbreaker named “Best Windshell’ by Backpacker Magazine.
This wind shell is powered by the same durable lightweight Diamond Fuse technology that you'll find in our Down and Rain Helium gear, reimagined to take on gusty runs, climbs, bike rides, and anywhere else you'd encounter a headwind. Complementing the super strong Diamond Fuse exterior, the Men's Helium Wind Hoodie sports laser-perforated underarm vents and a refined hood design that stays put when you're moving fast.
Pertex developed Diamond Fuse technology as a unique way of improving the durability and abrasion resistance of fabrics without adding any unnecessary weight. Diamond Fuse fabrics use yarns with unique diamond shaped filaments that lock together to create a durable and highly abrasion resistant fabric. This engineered structure allows Diamond Fuse fabrics to remain very stable over extended wear and washing.
