Outdoor Research Men's Helium Down Hoodie

This men's down hoodie jacket is made of 41% recycled Pertex Quantum fabric, making it lightweight, durable, and super warm. Its Diamond Fuse Technology protects the 800+ fill down with a durable and abrasion-resistant shell without adding weight. The lightweight design makes it perfect for enjoying winter sports and staying cold-protected.

Crafted from 100% nylon 15D x 30D ripstop, the hoodie features a single separating center-front zipper and internal stash pockets. The left-hand pocket doubles as a stuff sack. Additional features include a waterproof hood, shoulders, and upper sleeves, as well as multiple pockets to keep belongings secure, a pocket that doubles as a stuff sack, low pro binding, and an elastic drawcord hem.

Outdoor Research was founded by Ron Gregg, a nuclear physicist who spent as much time as possible exploring the outdoors, which he referred to as "The Big Office." In 1980, after witnessing his frostbitten partner get airlifted off a glacier on Denali, Gregg refused a seat on the helicopter and descended alone for two weeks, pondering the failure of a simple pair of gaiters. This experience led Gregg to apply his research-led approach to problem-solving and establish Outdoor Research.

The brand's Helium Down Collection, available in both men's and women's jackets, hoodies, and vests, tackles the common issue of down insulation's delicateness. The Helium is extremely durable, resisting rips, tears, and abrasions, while providing the warmth and performance of 800-fill down without the fragility. The lightweight durable shell is made of Pertex Quantum with Diamond Fuse Technology.
