The Helo jacket is a single layer of amazing fabric. A tough abrasion resistant exterior protects an inner conduit membrane which blocks water and wind from penetrating the jacket while allowing sweat to escape. The interior is a soft microfleece surface. This might be the first rowing jacket that keeps you dry and allows you to row a whole workout without becoming an oven. The fit of the jacket is close but not resistrictive with a subtle sideways stretch. Rear flap pockets are easy to access in the boat and the back of the jacket is curved downward with an elastic form keep it against your body.

In the Firefly version of the Helo, a layer of Flourescent Yellow nylon makes the back panel a high visibility wonder. Be seen from across the lake.
