Versatile jacket, great for travel
I’ve had this jacket for about a year and am absolutely satisfied with it. The shell is entirely wind and waterproof; the insulated jacket is warm. The complete package has kept me warm and dry. When it’s been bitter cold I’ve worn a thicker fleece 1/4 zip pullover or a wool sweater over a t-shirt or base layer. The jacket is cut long, which makes it impractical for hiking or any snow sports. But it’s perfect for around town — for cool weather rain protection with just the shell, or the insulated piece with a mid layer when it’s cold and dry. My go-to jacket for late fall through early spring, especially for travel.
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.

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.

Great Jacket
I use this as an everyday jacket for plain clothes LE work in PA. It is insanely warm for how light weight it is. Water repellency and wind resistance is excellent. Excellent balance between weight and warmth. Only downfall is the length makes it difficult to get to a sidearm when zipped up.

Excellent piece for winter city life
I've been wearing this since last winter in Seattle, and it provides excelent protection from cold rain while looking clean and professional.
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.
