Finally... A jacket that does what it says its going to do - so happy I purchased this. Excellent rain protection I experienced over 2 hours in medium rain on walk. No wet out, no leakage - water just ran off and kept me dry the whole time. Highly recommend this jacket for sure !
I've had 3 of these - all returned after the first use. The quality control is terrible and they all had signs of delamination after just one use in the rain. Will be buying a different brand.
Really bad quality, all my pocket broken in one year.
Review: As a former United States Marine and now a U.S. Postal Service carrier walking miles through every kind of weather, dependable gear isn’t optional — it’s survival. The Outdoor Research rain jacket is a must-have piece of kit. It’s built tough but surprisingly lightweight, far superior to competitors like Patagonia (and I used to swear by them). The underarm vents are twice the size of most, making it perfect for long days on the move. I always buy mine two sizes up so I can layer a fleece underneath and turn it into a full-on winter coat. Outstanding quality, exceptional performance — this is a piece of gear that earns its keep. Stay frosty. — Eric M. Kocher
Great jacket! I walk my dog 2-3 hrs a day in all kinds of weather. This jacket keeps me warm (with layers underneath) and dry. I buy men's jackets because I hate the fit of most women's jackets which are too constricting.
SO FRUSTRATED with this product!! I have now owned 2 of these jackets, the first I had warrantied and replaced because it was no longer keeping me dry, despite multiple treatments with Nikwax. The 2nd I have had for just over a year now, and I am getting completely soaked once again within 30 minutes of being outside in the rain. I have treated the coat with Nikwax and have followed the instructions meticulously, and yet the coat does not perform whatsoever... Do not spend your money on this coat. Go with a different brand, as this sells for far too much considering how weak the performance is.
Good stretch in the jacket and fits well. I do I wish it had some additional pockets but it does the job well. Not crazy warm but it serves as an awesome exterior layer to block the elements. Would be perfect with a fleece or synthetic jacket under for colder temps. Color is great and overall a super high quality purchase. OR is the way to go
The jacket is nice looking but the hood is not useful if there is a breeze over 10-15 mph. There isn't a hood draw string lock and a breeze in your face bellows the hood, draw string slips to wide open and the hood flips if off your head. You have to hold it on with one hand. Not worth it for head protection.
I've had several 3L Foray Rain Jackets, and they've all performed perfectly. Always true to size, with a stretchy athletic fit. I was bit bummed to learn that the Foray is being longer constructed with Gore-Tex waterproofing. Still, a solid jacket made by a fantastic manufacturer with an unbeatable "infinite" guarantee.
I’ve used this several times as a top layer on cold rainy days as well as a top waterproof layer on cold and wet walks. While it doesn’t provide much warmth itself I bought it a size up (XL) so that u could properly layer beneath it. Layering with this jacket is assisted by the zippers on the sides which go all the way up to the armpit, therefore if you get to hot you can easily dump heat and regulate temps. What I found during my runs is that I moves well with the body, I did not have any complaints about restriction I felt I could run and even sprint without worry.
