Product Insights
Helium Utility Hooded Quilted Jacket Down fill: material record lists 90% duck down / 10% duck feather; description says 700-fill goose down and RDS-certified. Recycled polyamide ripstop shell, 20-denier 42 GSM, windproof and light-rain resistant. Relaxed, hip-length fit leaves room for a midweight fleece or sweater; some may want to size down for a closer cut. Machine wash delicate at 30°C with down-specific detergent, low spin, then tumble dry low; avoid fabric softener, powder detergent and dry cleaning. Down insulation performs best in cold, dry conditions and loses loft when wet.

- DWR
- Factory DWR is PFAS-free and provides moderate waterproofing, but wears off with use and washing.
- wet performance

- fit and sizing
- Relaxed, hip-length fit leaves room for a midweight fleece or sweater; some may want to size down for a closer cut.

- durability
