[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After putting in 30 days on the mountain with a mix of resort laps and backcountry tours, I can confidently say this Outdoor Research ski coat delivered in every condition. From storm days with deep powder to bluebird spring afternoons, the jacket never let me down. It stood out with its high-quality materials, great breathability for long hikes, and solid warmth in colder temps. It is slightly insulated, so I had to put in some thought on my layering on warmer days to be sure not to over heat, but it did have great armpit zippers. One of my favorite details was the built in wrist sleeves with thumb holes, which kept snow and wind out while adding extra comfort. I received this jacket for free to review.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Powderverse Jacket by Ourdoor Research is an awesome piece of gear. I wore this jacket mostly for days inbounds at the resort this season, and it excelled in nearly every way. Throughout the season I was faced with weather from the negative teens (Fahrenheit) to the high 40's, but with space for layers and good ventilation or tight cinching, the jacket handled it all. The material is durable and comfortable, the jacket is warm but not too warm, the vents are well placed and easy to access with gloves on, and there's enough pockets to store all the gear I normally ski with (spare layer, GoPro & battery, phone, snacks). I think the only negative about the jacket for myself was that it is a bit long for a medium, so at times it would feel slightly oversized in that sense, but I do have a shorter torso so I'm sure that is part of it. It is important to clarify that Outdoor Research did send me this gear for free to test, but that truly did not bias my review. I Overall, OR really hit this one out of the park again. I love their gear and definitely would recommend this jacket to any lifelong or beginner skier or boarder.
