Helium Utility Hooded Quilted Jacket
The Peak Performance Helium Utility Hooded Quilted Jacket is a hip-length, relaxed-fit down puffer worn as a lightweight outer layer or as a midlayer under a shell in moderate to cold conditions. It combines a windproof recycled polyamide ripstop shell with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish and 700-fill RDS-certified goose down, and it packs down into its own beige stuff pouch with a braided carry loop. Features include a wave-pattern Helium quilt, an adjustable tunnel hood with front toggles and a rear drawcord, a full-length zip with chin guard, zip hand, chest and sleeve pockets plus a small inner patch pocket, and toggle-adjustable elastic cuffs and hem; the black colorway has contrast cream zippers and a beige zippered sleeve patch, with Peak Performance logos embroidered on the chest and sleeve.

A warm layer for cold days out
For moderate to cold weather, this hooded quilted jacket offers warmth with a lightweight, highly packable build that is easy to bring along. Toggle-adjustable cuffs and hem help seal out drafts, while the full-length zip with a chin guard adds comfort at the neck. The Helium line is also designed to be worn on its own or layered under a shell, in nature or around the city.[1,2]
Windproof warmth for blustery, damp days
A windproof quilted jacket for cool days when wind chill and light rain are the main concerns. The durable water-repellent finish offers moderate waterproofing for drizzle or brief wet weather, though it is not a substitute for fully waterproof rain gear. With its warm down insulation, it works as a standalone layer in the city or outdoors, and can be layered under a shell when conditions turn harsher.[1,2]
A light outer layer for outdoor activities
Peak Performance describes this ultra-light Helium jacket as a packable coat for all your outdoor activities, meant to be worn as an outer layer or layered under a shell when the cold intensifies. The Helium line is billed by the brand as an all-rounder that's easy to take anywhere, in nature or around the city. These are the brand's stated intended uses rather than tested performance claims.[1,2]
Extra warmth under a shell on colder days
This lightweight, packable quilted jacket is designed to layer under a shell when the cold intensifies, adding insulation for outdoor activities in harsh weather. Peak Performance's Helium line is also marketed as an all-rounder you can wear on its own as a mid-layer, in nature or around the city.[1,2]
Packs into its own pouch for on-the-go carrying
This ultra light, packable jacket folds up into its own built-in pouch, making it easy to stash in a bag when you're out and about. Wear it as an outer layer or under a shell as conditions change, then pack it down when you don't need it.[2]
