What is there to say about a raincoat that isn't waterproof? Uh...it looks sylish. Make a good instagram selfie. Yeah. Other than that....have a real raincoat also if you plan to actually hike in rain. Windjacket? Yeah, but not in weather wamer than 60 degree. You'll be drenched in your own sweat.

I loved the feel of this sweatshirt. It was so soft and comfortable to wear. My only complaint was the pockets do not have a zipper on them and I like to be able to close them so my phone, keys, etc do not fall out. I would have given it 5 stars if it hadn't been for the pockets.

Great rain resistance, but only on front shoulder zip pocket and I miss having the two pockets I could slide my hands into.

I received this as a gift, but I am buying several more to have on hand for the field season and for trail running! This jacket is perfect in every way - extremely lightweight, packable, just enough warmth, keeps the rain off. I can layer it under my puffy after runs, and it's a great insulator.

I got this as a light weight jacket that I could clip to my climbing harness. I'm 5'1", 105#, my usual OR size is XS and I'm happy to say this one fits about right. It is so small & light you can bring it anywhere as a backup. I can see this being a great travel raincoat as well. My only gripe is that the stowing pocket needs to be about 10% larger.

I was looking for a very light jacket taking a minimal space in my backpack. Helium II jacket complies very well to that requirement. I wore the jacket a few times in different activities and it provide a good protection against wind and rain. However, it is does not breathe sufficiently for high intensity activities.

Bought this last year as my outer layer for my first Adirondack high peaks winter hike. Love it! Protects from wind and light rain. I wear it all winter over layers without feeling bulky.
