The OR Helium or Helium II (the II has a nicer cut) is great if you could only bring just one jacket jacket. Its much more akin to a true rain-shell though and not a very breathable one. Its an order of magnitude less breathable than the 7mesh (or several orders). However its my go to for travel where I only want to carry the one shell. Though that was before the 7mesh and now I think I may just opt to take it for the small additional hit on weight, bulk etc.
