Nice midweight jacket.

This Helios jacket fits nice, easy on and off with good zippers. It’s nice for those mild winter days. Would not use it for much below zero or strong winter winds without a good base layer. I have a Rock and Ice parka for those days. Very well made. I prefer knit cuffs, but these are nice too. No Velcro is also great. Overall very pleased with it.

This is the one.

If you are looking for a reasonably priced very stuffed down jacket this is it. It is like super warm. I only wear it starting around 20 degrees f or so. Maybe 30 if I don't have a substantial wool layer going on underneath. I have other down jackets for above that. It is just way too warm for 30 and above. I wear it around town and out and about because it is just too hot for hiking. The only thing I am kinda concerned about is the YKK zipper. It's not like YKK zippers I know. It is plastic. On a jacket at this price point I would expected a metal zipper. Still, it seems to perform. YKK is a trusted zipper, so we will see. I have FF sleeping bags, comforters, booties, etc. You can trust them.

Worth the Wait - Perfect Jacket for Any Weather / "기다릴 가치가 있는 완벽한 재킷!"

The jacket took a while to arrive, which was understandable given the international shipping and Customs delays. However, it was absolutely worth the wait! The jacket is perfect—lightweight yet incredibly warm. I couldn't ask for a better one. I'm so impressed that I plan to buy another for my family and will also look into purchasing a sleeping bag from this brand in the future. Highly recommend! 배송은 국제 배송과 세관 문제로 시간이 좀 걸렸지만, 기다릴 가치가 충분했습니다! 재킷은 가볍고도 정말 따뜻하며 완벽합니다. 더 나은 제품을 바랄 수 없을 정도로 만족스러워서 가족을 위해 하나 더 구매할 예정이고, 이 브랜드의 침낭도 나중에 구매할 계획입니다. 강력 추천합니다! I had to write in korean just incase, :) 한국인이시라면 꼭 구매하세요! 후회 안합니다. 가성비 따지는거보다 이런 좋은 자켓 하나 사세요!
