I understand what you mean about double zips on a belay jacket. I have a Rock & Ice and with the double zip, it is not something that I would want to be taking off and on all day. Double zips are for parkas that get put on and stay on. The weight that you got for the Helios is about the same as my XL Torre. Thanks for all of the information that you accumulated on these jackets. Any feedback on the Rab parka(s)?

Wow Dane I am pretty surprised by the weight you got for the Helios. I have an XL eVent one and it comes in at 22.3oz. Their clothes do seem to run very small (at least to me) but I am curious as to your comment about their bag technology not working well with their garments if you could expand on that a bit. (I have 3 of their bags and love them)
