Nice looking, nice fitting, excellent protection
ELCK8 months ago
I bought this rain jacket on short notice for a trip to rainy (but lovely) Oregon. It did in fact rain and the weather was cold and this jacket kept me warm and dry. It also provided an excellent wind break on the days when it was windy but not actually raining. I was told that this jacket would not start flaking because it is made with a different material than those that flake. So I'm counting on that being the case. (If it starts flaking I will be very unhappy)
The jacket has nice pockets for stuffing hands and other items in, fits well over a thick sweater and looks very stylish as well. Style is not my main concern, but I'm happy about having a nice look.

I bought this jacket about a month ago, and I was really excited because the GORTEX version always kept my coworkers dry and warm. I was disappointed when it wetted out on its second wear in a moderate drizzle. It also snags on prickly vegetation, which then just completely absorbs water instead of repelling it. I know rain jackets are meant to keep you warm and not necessarily dry, but I’d expect to be dry for at least and hour or so.

Perfect waterproof/windproof shell
1 month ago
Purchased for an early summer trip to Iceland. It kept me completely dry in the rain and behind waterfalls. Also really blocked the wind. Base layers needed for warmth, this is just a shell. Love the side zippers and pit zips, and the chest pocket was super handy. Don’t love the hood cinch design, it’s tough to loosen it up again and it leaves a tiny open space on either side of my face by my temples. But for the most part it serves its purpose. Overall I’m a big fan of this jacket and am glad I splurged. Will also come in handy on summer rainy days in New England.

Wonderful jacket for my trip to Iceland in February. It kept me warm and dry in pouring rain, behind waterfalls, in snow, sleet and gale force wind. It looked great in pictures and layered well with a wool base layer and the matching OR hoodie. It’s also been great for warmer days skiing. The vents are so versatile.

Great features, fantasic jacket
5 months ago
Great features and extremely breathable jacket. I purchased the prior Gortex model Aspire II GORE-TEX Jacket - Women's but could not review it before it was discontinued. The newer model is not GoreTex but I wanted to write a review on the features because the jacket is the same except for the material now. First of all, I love the chest pocket for storing my winter bladder hose so the nozzle does not freeze. And the slide zippers are great for getting into my pockets of my pants when my waist pack is on. The hood is super easy to adjust with the elastic toggle in the back. This is my goTo winter jacket for snowshoing in really cold weather like it was this week at Methow Valley where we were in 7 degree temps during the day. I got the 2X inspite of my only needing an XL or a 1X. it was the last jacket left and I am glad to have it. Lots of room for layering

New favorite jacket!!!

I bought this jacket recently and got to try it out in pouring rain and sleet. It kept me perfectly dry and layered so well with a puffer jacket underneath, too. It really does the job and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!!

This Outdoor Research Jacket is the perfect weight for traveling. It was windproof and waterproof. Roomy enough to be able to layer for warmth. Folds small to pack in a suitcase.
