Happy Customer
"Very light and warm jacket , super fast delivery as well"
"It was gifted, he was very happy with"
Nice jacket but sheds feathers. Medium warmth
"Bought this jacket for my husband but before even wearing it, feathers started poking out. When I gently pulled it made a slight hole. Don't expect this from a brand like this. Looks good and fits well."
5 years on, still amazing!
"I bought a Heli inner with an outer layer in 2020, wore it travelling, skiing and everywhere for the last five years, and I think that says it all really. I have lost the outer layer recently, but rather than buying a whole new jacket, I'm just going to replace the outer layer. That's how much I love this jacket!"
Wrong Size
"I was supplied with a wrong size , I ordered medium but found size Large in the parcel . Could not use the jacket and still waiting for the replacement."

Q&A
- Hi, what is measurements from shoulder seam to shoulder seam in XS? Also underarm to UA in cm? Men xs similar to what woman size? Thanks
- Shoulder to shoulder is 44.3cm and underarm to underarm is 51.5cm in size XS. XS is closest to a Wmns size 12.
- Which pocket does the men’s Heli jacket fold into?
- The wearer's right hand side pocket should have a double sided puller that has a green PACK&GO tag on the inside. This is the pocket that your jacket stuffs into.
- Hi there, How windproof is this jacket? Also how thick (say in millimeters)is it?
- This isn't a jacket that we would call windproof, the fabric used in it's construction offers some wind-resistance. In terms of jacket thickness, to be honest this is not a measurement that can be given easily; the jacket is thicker in the centre of the baffles, but has no 'thickness' on the stitch lines. What it is in practical terms is a narrow baffle, thin down jacket that can be worn as an outer layer, but also as a mid layer under a outer shell. I hope this helps!
- What is the water resistant shell fabric rated to please?
- This jacket is not rated, as it is only water resistant, not waterproof.
