The Black Diamond Helio Alpine Shell is designed as a light and fast garment that cuts out a number of features in the name of shaved ounces. While it is thin and light, it also offers fantastic weather protection with long sleeves, a low hem line, and a surprisingly protective hood, considering it only uses one draw cord to tighten. Advertised as the perfect lightweight layer for backcountry skiing and cutting edge alpinism, we would have to agree. It also includes some handy features that were cut from the Arc’teryx Alpha FL, like pit zips and double cross-over chest pockets. While we had a few minor complaints about the function of some of the zippers, we thought this was one of the best jackets available in this review, and it scored near to the top – fourth in the review, in fact.
