It is a pretty big miss. The pro's are that it is very rain proof. However it does come up short everywhere else. One, it could definitely be warmer. It always feels freezing when you put it on and it takes a while to warm up. Once you warm it up, it's decently warm, you'll need more layers if using in the cold. Will definitely need a hat or scarf if you plan to use this as a winter jacket since the hood isn't lined. Neither are the pockets, so your hands will be cold without gloves. I wish they sold different liners that were compatible so you could scale the warmth. This is definitely a cool weather only jacket. It also lacks ANY interior pockets. It would be nice if the liner had an interior breast pocket, or dump pockets. As is, if you wear the liner alone, you only have the hand pockets. This jacket is also extremely tight around the waist and hips. Unlike other brands that offer a cinch cord around the waist and a loosens around the hips and thighs so you can walk and sit, this is just tight. If you are trying to use for anything other than casual wear, you won't fit anything around your waist that you can cover or get to.

Good: Longer Than Other Forays / Bad: No Torsoflo
I bought is jacket to replace my old Gore-Tex Foray that started to delaminate after 7 years of use. Lets see how well this AscentShell Dry hold up over the years. So far this is a great 3-in-1 jacket but I'm really disappointed that it lacks the TorsoFlo Venting all the other Foray versions have. TorsoFlo Venting, or at least some basic armpit vents, really makes a difference when you need to vent some heat build up or want to use the shell as a rain jacket year round. I like that it comes as a 3-in-1. This is easier to put on and take off than the Foray and Shadow combo this jacket is replacing. Being able to combine the shell and insulation layer when it gets cold is much more convenient than dealing with 2 separate jackets. I like that it is longer than the other Foray versions The longer Parka style provides better rain and snow protection than the shorter Jacket style. The over all look and color make this great to wear in any setting like work, camping, shopping, or anywhere else. I really like the Ranger Green color over the Hops Green of my Foray that this is replacing. I hope they make a version 2 with TorsoFlo Venting and a stuff sack for the insulation layer.

3-1 All Around Jacket/parka/rain Shell
Impressive 3-1 after wearing out my North Face 3-1 system I have wore for years. Bought this to replace it and I am happy with what my research settled upon. Love the zip out silk liner as a stand alone lite duty jacket,a nd the shell works excellent as a rain cover. This is a great system for a beginner or an expert in the field or out on the town. Size runs true and is a little longer than expected but I did not mind the extra length to cover my hind end.

Lightweight, Not Durable
fabric started fraying within one use. I'll be reaching out to OR to see about a warranty claim. used this during a range day in the rain and my chest rig caused it to fray after first use. otherwise is very water resistant.
