Excellent Jacket - Might Need To Upsize

Love this jacket - it is comfortable down into the 20's or 30's. Only knock on it is that I had to upsize by one size as it has a very aggressive "slim fit" in the torso. Packs down easily for stowage in a backpack and quickly regains loft.

Really Wanted To Like This Jacket

I spend a lot of time in the alpine. Rock/ice climbing, ski touring, thru hiking, walking the dog at night at 9000’, etc, this jacket has been disappointing in every activity. Very thin, cold, and wind cuts right through it. I can’t remember being warm in it once. And the zipper broke after a year. It should either be half the price, half the weight, or twice as warm. I love OR as a company and will continue to support them, but this specific product is a bummer.

Very warm and versatile. Pretty much wear this in all cold weather settings

Perfect Lightweight Warm Layer

I was pleasantly surprised with just how wind/ snow proof the jacket was. I've worn it in light rain and snowstorms and found it completely warm in both.

Super Light, Super Warm

My wife is jealous of this jacket. We took it on our last camping trip and I think she wore it the entire time. She loved how light it was and how warm it is. I did wear it a bit and had the same thoughts. Love OR gear.

Made For City Use

snagged a branch skiing, ripped like a tissue Diamond fused sewing ?

It is very warm for its weight and size. It’s definitely a maximum efficiency build, which is very apparent in the way it fits. It has a very athletic fit, which is fine for me but is important to note. Size large is good @ 6’2” 185lbs. I have not tested the durability much, but it is protected a bit more on the hood and shoulders. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t bush wack with a puffy.

Durable. Warm and comfortable. I pack it in my vehicle for emergency use and it has been perfect for unexpected cold fronts.

Great Warm Jacket

I gave this score b/c its a great down jacket and OR makes great stuff. I would highly recommend it. I wear it in the morning, and by the end of the day, it is in my backpack. It also stuffs small

Excellent Puffer

Excellent construction and durability. Best in class aside other top tier brands. Full range of motion for outdoor activities like backpacking, hiking, and mountaineering. Having extra waterproofing on the hood and shoulders where warmth and dryness matter most is key. I chose a fit that was very close to the body so that I can layer under a hard shell outer: A self-made system. Also a really good looking jacket to wear on its own.

Love Love Love

This has been a great upgrade from my last puffy. this one is much warmer and retains heat in wind. while it does not pack the smallest or is not the lightest it has been a great addition to my kit. 6'2" 230lb and the XL fits perfect.

Decent Puffy

Not bad. A little less fill than expected but good enough for medium temperature days. I still wear my older, thicker OR puffy for big days out. I wear this one to and from work.

Fantastic

Pack small, super warm, rain protection on head and shoulders, super light. Love it

Fits Really Snug

Great, warm jacket, the lower half fits really snug despite following the size guidelines. Otherwise would be 5 star review.

Super Light And Warm

Super light jacket that keep you surprisingly very warm, I wear it at -15°c with only a t-shirt and I wasn't cold at all.
