Peak Performance Goes Big With Helium Diamond Fuse – The Latest Addition to Its Famous Helium Jacket Range

Peak Performance, the Scandinavian mountain brand known for its technical apparel and bold design concepts, has introduced a big new player to its lightweight down jacket game: the Helium Diamond Fuse.

Packed with talking points and a toasty 700 fill power, this eyeball-grabbing, head-turning technical mountain lifestyle piece combines backcountry freeride performance with a premium on-body feel, all while staying true to the essence of the brand’s cornerstone Helium range – stowable, protective, insulating products that barely tip the scales.

Here’s just a handful of the many need-to-knows about the Peak Performance Helium Diamond Fuse for its release day.

• “Diamond Fuse” takes its name from its Pertex Diamond Fuse material construction – a fabric built from diamond-shaped performance fibres that interlock within the fabric for enhanced durability and protection, whilst giving a statement sheen to the overall product.
• Peak Performance’s Helium range comes in many guises, from the function-fuelled Utility to the slimline Hybrid. The Diamond Fuse takes a thicker approach to its down and builds it into an air-trapping 3D baffle construction, all while maintaining a modern boxy fit for a premium and out-there look.
• Totally unique to the industry, Peak Performance has taken a dual approach to its quilting design, opting for straight quilts on the inside and curved on the outside. This is more than a statement aesthetic choice; it’s one that brings better heat retention and a “cloud-like hug” feel to the wearing experience.
• Despite its huge pillowy fill power, mobility restrictions are no issue thanks to clever under-arm material panels that bring ease of movement to the piece and up its multi-functional versatility.
• Smart and functional features including adjustable hemlines and an external hood drawstring bring even greater comfort to the Helium Diamond Fuse by giving the wearer more opportunities for customising the fit of the jacket.
• Even with all these material features and functional details, and its epic down fill, the Helium Diamond Fuse stays true to the DNA of the Helium range with its packable capabilities – it’ll fold into its own pocket for on-the-go stowage.

The Peak Performance Helium Diamond Fuse Down Hood is available to both men and women, with prices starting at $550 (Women / Men). It’ll be available in-store and at peakperformance.com.
