The Outdoor Research Women's Helium UL Jacket is a 159g ultralight waterproof shell for fast trail miles, travel days and everyday weather. The latest Helium uses Toray Dermizax™ 2.75-layer fabric for better breathability, comfort and durability than previous Helium models.

It packs into its own left pocket, so it disappears into a running vest or bag until it rains. The wire-brim adjustable hood with hood lock stays put in wind, the shaped bonded cuffs and elastic drawcord hem seal the edges, and fully seam-taped construction with YKK® AquaGuard® zips keeps the rain out. Zip hand pockets and reflective logos round it off for dark commutes.
