REI Helium Hoodie questions for Aaron

[Michael aka Mac]

I was wondering Aaron how warm was the Helium Hoodie?   I just tried out my EMS Heater Jacket, which looks similar to the REI Helium Hoodie you reviewed, but due to the lack of loft, and insulation, I pretty much froze this past winter.

So the questions I have for ya Aaron

Did the jacket seem to have a lot of loft?

At what  temperatures did you test the jacket at and at what point with just the Jacket, did it get too cold? (in other words what was the outside temp)

& last,  what did you think of the pockets?

Hey Mac,

I have never tested the Helium Hoodie. That said if I’m on a trip and really want to stay warm I take the Montbell Mirage:

Hope this helps!
