Selling a brand-new, never worn, with tags Outdoor Research Helium II jacket. Color: pewter. Size: medium. These usually sell for $200; I found mine on sale and am selling it for $150 tyd. If you're interested in whole or partial trades, let me know--I'm in need of a small omni belt in coyote.
I love this jacket, and the only reason I'm selling is that I'm between a large and medium in most clothing; after ordering and paying for both, I'm off-loading the medium. Could return it but thought someone on this forum could find it useful. (For what it's worth, I'm 6' and 182lbs and the medium fits almost perfectly, but it's a little too fitted on the shoulders.) Photos are of the medium which I unpacked to add an image here and of me in the large on of Mt. Washington.
I used the large on a 9-day hike through the presidentials and it kept me dry through downpours and snap-freezing conditions. For 6.4oz it's hard to find a better water-proof, breathable, and windproof jacket.
