Feathered Friends’s own description.
The classic Helios Hooded Jacket is a mainstay for cold conditions around the world. As our warmest sewn-through jacket, the Helios is exceptionally light and packable thanks to the ethically-sourced 900+ fill power goose down. Our newest iteration of the Helios Hooded Jacket is our most environmentally conscious to date.
