Outdoor Research Men's Helium Down Vest

Outdoor Research's Helium Down Vest boasts a durable, lightweight design crafted from 800-fill down and 41% recycled Pertex Quantum fabric featuring Diamond Fuse Technology. This Bluesign-approved vest is built to withstand rugged use without weighing you down.

The shell is composed of 100% 15D x 30D nylon, with a 100% 20D nylon ripstop lining. The high-quality, responsibly sourced goose down insulation provides impressive 800+ fill power. This standard-fit vest is ready to keep you warm and protected in the great outdoors.

The brand's story begins with founder Ron Gregg, a nuclear physicist who was passionate about exploring remote regions. After witnessing his frostbitten partner being airlifted off Denali, Gregg was determined to apply his research-driven approach to solving the challenges faced by outdoor enthusiasts.

Outdoor Research's Helium Down Collection, available in men's and women's jackets, hoodies, and vests, addresses a common issue with down insulation - delicateness. The Helium line is exceptionally durable, resisting rips, tears, and abrasions while providing the warmth and performance of high-quality down. In fact, the Helium Down Hoodie has earned the Editor's Choice award from Backcountry Magazine.

Beyond the Helium line, Outdoor Research offers several other winter-focused collections to meet the needs of various outdoor activities:

The SuperStrand LT Collection blends warmth, softness, and stretch with eco-conscious materials, making it a versatile choice for on and off the mountain.

The Snowcrew Collection is designed for resort riding, featuring insulated warmth and hidden features like internal gaiters, waist adjustment tabs, and an interior chest pocket with a media port. New this season, the Snowcrew line offers extended sizing options.

The award-winning Hemispheres and Hemispheres II jackets and bibs, built in collaboration with the brand's ambassador team, combine a fully seam-taped 3L GORE-TEX C-Knit technology with innovative stretch panels for storm-proof durability and mobility.

For the backcountry enthusiast, the Skytour Collection is renowned for its breathability, durability, and comfort. The award-winning Skytour AscentShell kit features a 3-layer breathable waterproof fabric and function-first designs like zippered thigh vents and multiple hood adjustments.

Whether you're tackling a glacier on Denali, shredding the slopes, or exploring the backcountry, Outdoor Research's diverse winter collections have you covered with cutting-edge technologies and thoughtful designs, all inspired by the brand's research-driven approach to problem-solving.
