    Which would be warmer? Skaha is baffled with about 1oz less down for my size, while Helios is sewn through.

    The only downside for the 5.5oz lighter weight of the Skaha is the absence of those great hand warmer pockets of the Helios. Or maybe others can comment on other advantages/disadvantages.

    Thanks!

    Steve,
    For an extra ounce and $40 you can get the Skaha with a kangaroo pocket. I have a Skaha sweater with a pocket and I like it better than handwarmer pockets. Richard
