    Thanks man, good work. This helped me decide.
  • Thanks for the great review. Was interested in the different fit between the cerium and the Patagonia down sweater!
  • @TheSzmichal
    Thanks for reviews, I've just bought black Patagonia Down Sweater Hoody like two weeks ago and it's awesome :)
  • @jamespotter3011
    A huge thanks to you. Finally someone more my size (I'm a 46L jacket, 19/37 shirt ) reviewing anything at all. Consider me subscribed.
  • @wingmanhoy3999
    Outstanding review on all great 1st class quality outdoor gear for us passionate outdoors people, thank you for what you do, all the very best, health and happiness.
  • @hoser7706
    Patagonia Down hoody just looks soooo good. Just looks the best as an all-rounder. Especislly that two colour split. Imho.
  • @yamaha-gs1kp
    Hey i enjoyed your video and that u have real life use out of them to better understand them✌️👍
  • @leowalker07
    I love my Outdoor Research Transcendent so you might have talked me into trying out the Helium, but damn that Arc'teryx Cerium fits so well.
  • @markhines
    Thanks again Sean. You provide some of the best reviews anywhere on the internet, a go to source for reliable information.
  • @mtadams2009
    My daily driver is a Patagonia down sweater, I wear it under my shell skiing and around town. I use a Montbell Plasma 1000 for backpacking. It’s super light and does the job, I have the matching pants. My next big item will be from Feathered Friends or Western Mountaineering. You generally get what you pay for. Cry once. It would be nice when reviewing jackets that have hoods if they fit over helmets. Nice review
  • @matth3903
    Forget what I said about the Patagonia in Part 1. As a lover of the OR Coldfront Down I see that Helium in my future.
  • @sorearm
    I've got the outdoor research helium and it is THE BOMB
  • @AlexAbramov
    Nice to have this pit zips. Sometime in a cold assent I need to cool out. Very interesting.
  • @HiFiFrequency
    Thank you for this video! I tried on most of the jackets in your review. The OR was our choice. Grabbed an OR for me and my girl. We love love the jackets.
  • @98GuitarTECH
    If you are doing this again this year, check out the Rab mythic range and the mountain equipment Kryos (also the mountain equipment Fitzroy if looking at synthetic)
  • @mopm5188
    very good and detailed vid. only if you can say how much each down is weight because it"s indicate on the warmth thanks on the vid.
  • Hi thanks for the awesome content. Im uk based & wanted to get matching adult & child puffy coats any thoughts on where to start?
  • @thdjjfsfh
    Wicked comparison, Shawn. Some seem super interesting. A little disappointed that the Rab mythic Alpine and Ultra is not on this list. I believe it won a few awards. Really looking forward to the more detailed review of the jackets that don't have one yet. I really appreciate your work.
  • @bobskaftfeld5611
    Im in Saskatchewan where it’s cold! How would those coats test up here!
