Mike from MO - 2009-06-22
Awesome rain protection Lightweight with plenty of venting. This is a great rain jacket. The hood rolls up and stores away to make it look like a "normal" jacket. I have been on several hiking trips in Missouri with this jacket and it has kept me dry in the strongest downpour. The hood is easily accessed in tight situations. It is expensive, but there are always sales.

OR quality...again! I have a couple of OR's jackets, and this one again delivers on performance and fit. A very technical jacket, but can also be worn in town without looking like you were on your way to some backcountry hiking and just got lost. The only thing I wish this jacket had was zip in capability for my OR softshell and two way pit zips. The hood also folds nicely into the collar.

Excellent design I'm 5'11' and 200 lbs. and the large is a perfect fit. For a hard shell this jacket is surprisingly supple. It is light and allows great freedom of movement. The pit zips are huge for efficient venting during increased activity. Before buying this shell I never liked hoods that folded into collars. This jacket has changed my mind. The design around the neck is superb and the hood moves well with your head to effectively avoid obstructing your vision. The Gore-Tex Paclite makes for a thin and extremely comfortable shell. The rain flap covering the zipper is not encumbered with annoying velcro, but rather, is effectively designed to cover the zipper without it. I'm really impressed with this shell and am thankful for the thought that Outdoor Research put into it. It's an easy 5 stars
