OR Helium 2 fits big guys

Written on Jan 17, 2019

I was worried about the jacket fitting after reading the reviews. I am 6’4” and weigh in at 265. The XXL fit me well with a 800FP down puffer and base layer shirt on. It’s definitely form fitting but does not compress the down. With just a base layer under shirt and long sleeve shirt it fits with plenty of room. It is not baggy and I guess the close fit is to save weight. I like it. The bottom hem drops down to just below the belt loops ( about 2 inches below) so it’s not very long but will fit what I need it to do which is keep me dry while backpacking. Highly pleased with the jacket. If you don’t like an athletic fit in your jacket you probably won’t like it, if you are around my size. I have a slight gut at 48 years of age but not fat. If you have a sizable gut this will probably be to tight to be comfortable. This review is purely based on how it fit my frame and has not been put through the outdoor paces yet. But there are tons of reviews on its abilities to keep you dry and the overwhelming majority are positive.
