FitnessTravelGear.com – Featuring OR’s Helium Jacket – July 2010

From a windy and wet fishing trip, to a cool sunset paddle, to running errands in a hellacious downpour, the waist length Helium Jacket kept me comfortable, warm and dry. Even better, it features a built-in stuff pocket, for stuffing and storing when the weather turns agreeable (easy to stuff in under a minute—52 seconds [...]
