I liked the fabric, the fit, the color. The zippers are tight and quiet. BUT...., theres no side pockets!! Just one chest pocket.. i have other OR jackets, and like them very much. BUT, for a 160.00, i think i deserve side pockets..(I returned it and ordered another OR jacket. my side pockets and I are very happy) :)Very Light Weight, Packs Small, Great OR QualityThis is one of those items you're most likely to carry because it's super light and works as expected.Runs a little small, chose next larger size!!Northface, Mountain Hardware, REI and EMS, even some Patagonia (known to run a little small) XXL size ALL fit me pretty perfect. This jacket though... not a chance in heck it'll fit me, even if I loose like 40 pounds... it's just that small. Heck, I even fit in some roomier brands XL size! If you're a big guy, this jacket isn't for you. 6.97 ounces in size XXL if you're into Ultralight hiking like I am, which is excellent... but too bad it's 1 size smaller than it should be.Last 5 min in light rain before soaking through, in 20 min my shirt was damp, in 45 min totally soaked.I'm 5'8", 175lbs and the large was "roomy," but not overly too big. The large left room for a long-sleeved t-shirt or thin sweatshirt underneath. I walked for maybe 5 minutes in a moderate rain and felt wet at my shoulders. When I got inside and removed the jacket, there was water on the inside shoulders and patches of saturation on sleeves. I'm returning this. Not worth the price.I had the original Helium that I bought in 2017 (black with blue zipper) and loved it. This was the new version to replace it but has NO SIDE POCKETS. Returning.This is not only way small, but ITS NOT WATERPROOF. I got soaked the first time I wore this and I’m not happy…
