It’s still windy, wet, and chilly out there - a thermal jacket may be too much but it’s definitely still jacket weather. Sugoi’s new Helium Jacket is just about perfect for spring outings. Weighing in at a minuscule 3 ounces, you’ll hardly know you have it on.
The Helium totally blocks those cold breezes and keeps light rain out, thanks to water resistant fabric and doubled seams. There are small perforations under the arms to help keep you ventilated as you warm up and a longer hem on the back to protect you from spray if you’re cycling. The sleeves are a generous length, but have an elastic band to keep them from falling too low on shorter arms. Reflective strips on the zipper and across the back will make you visible if the run or ride has you out in low-light situations.
Best feature? A little zippered pocket on the right side for gels, MP3 players, keys, whatever you need to reach in a hurry. The Helium is a rose color called “Flamingo” - very fun!
Sugoi Women’s Helium Jacket: $85 msrp. Available at your local bike shop or through Team Estrogen online.
