Great In-between Season Jacket

1 year ago

I love this jacket so far. The fit is perfect for me. This has been my go-to activity jacket. I have been running and biking in it. I have also used it as a good mid layer under my shell here in rainy Seattle. It doesn't have a ton of insulation, but for the warmer days it is great as a breathable do everything jacket. The fabric is very durable, and I don't feel like I will have any future issues with it. Feels like I could take a couple good falls off my bike on it and I would most likely break myself before the jacket. I will say one downside is that in windy conditions that hood does end up catching the wind. Make sure that you tuck it behind your back if you are commuting.

Yes , I recommend this product

New Favorite Go-To

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, the Freewheel Half Zip Hoodie made by Outdoor Research is an incredible masterpiece that exceeds my expectations. Although intended for MTBing, it's my favorite touring layer, and I can't wait to use the Freewheel on my MTB once the snow melts. Whether hitting an alpine trail or local flow, this layer performs and is "smart." It keeps me warm when I'm cold, and when I start to work up a sweat, it manages to keep me cool. Outdoor Research gave me this product to try, and it's replacing my previous go-to layers. The Freewheel is my new favorite lightweight outerwear for all mountain expeditions. A side note ~ when paired with the OR Echo hoodie, you can comfortably and stylishly endeavor on anything and everything the mountains throw your way.

Sweet Outdoor Research jacket

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome weatherproof layer with functional chest pocket for phone. Much warmer than typical weatherproof layer, great for hiking and mountain biking. Kept me warm and dry in 30-35 degree mixed rain & snow with just Helium vest underneath.

Awesome Jacket!

4 months ago

I absolutely love this jacket. OR has really hit it out of the park with the freewheel MTB gear! This jacket acts like a hard shell windbreaker but is soft and breathes so well. It moves so nicely. Absolutely Amazing jacket

I use this for riding in NWA, we get very cold winters here and it's handles the weather like a champ. I don't get overheated and stay comfortable throughout the day. Would definitely recommend this to a cold weather rider.

This jacket is the exact one you need for riding in weather between 38 and 55. Repels water well, washes well, and looks great even when you aren’t biking. The fit is impeccable. 6”2 230lbs XL

New Favorite All-Around Light Jacket ü§ôüèæ

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still winter in CO! Luckily I was able to escape snowy Steamboat for a couple days to hit the desert trails in Fruita, CO and test out some of the new Outdoor Research MTB gear (which they did send me for free to try out). I really only purchase stretch gear so I was pumped for the athletic stretch of the new Outdoor Research Freewheel Half Zip Hoodie. I'm a bulkier guy but the hoodie fit is excellent and form fitting for my frame (Sz Large). I don't typically go for the pullover style, as I prefer full zip, but I love the fit of this jacket. Most importantly I never felt restricted even during the most technical features. The partial face covering feature of the zip up is clutch for the desert winds. Overall it performed great from a wind protection standpoint. Something I would have liked to have seen but wasn't a deal breaker is more storage. There is a single zip pocket on the left side chest. Some quick access pockets on the lumbar region would have been amazing. Overall the Freewheel Hoodie is awesome and without a doubt going to be my go-to light jacket for all activities, not just MTB! I have used it for various other winter activities in Steamboat Springs, CO on warmer days and have been nothing short of impressed by its mobility, warmth, and wind resistance.
