Hi
My warranty replacement Outdoor Research Helium 2 failed at the zipper this morning. EDIT I grabbed the old jacket in the dark so the new one is all good. Still interested in a possible upgrade as I am little wary of the Helium now.
So on the lookout for a replacement ... ideally, sub 200 grams and very packable as used bikepacking.
My current shortlist is a Montane Minus Stretch Ultra or a RAB Flashpoint 2. Any thoughts on either or suggestions for other jackets to consider?
Also thinking very lightweight waterproof trousers ... any experiences or thoughts on options?
Thanks
Andrew
