What's Next ...

An Ode to my OR Helium Jacket..........
​

Picture
It`s a sad sad day. After over 12 months of beating the crap out of it my OR Helium jacket zipper has finally given up the ghost. We have been through the good times, the bad times and the down right ridiculous times. 

The jacket & I have covered 18,000km traversing 28 of the worlds 32 ecosystems. We have been to glaciers around the Huayhuash route sitting at 5,100mtr.
Picture
When the winds on Ojos Del Salado were hitting 120+ km/ hr my jacket was there to lessen the blow.

Getting drowned through the depths of the Ecuadorian wet season, you were with me. I use you as my pillow at night and you never complain about the drool.

Picture

Our climbing to date is 112,345mtr that's vertical metres. We have been to the highest volcano in Central America & 6,000mtr high on the worlds highest active volcano.
We have endured monsoonal rains & 120+km/hr winds. -35 Celsius to + 35 in the deserts of Colombia, Peru & the Atacama Desert
​

It`s been a tough 10,000+ km and countless hours of wear and you held in there. Now it`s time to say goodbye but hello to a new chapter with a guaranteed lifetime warranty. ​

THANKS OR for a killer product........
