Outdoor Research Credo Jacket - Men's - 2007 BCS

I truly wanted to like this jacket but I was disappointed. It's a tight fit, which means almost no room for layering. The material gives it a rubber feeling. The tape work over the stitching looks unpredictable (one review on another link stated that it in fact did start to peal off). The jacket is light, and can be a good mid layer. In the right cool weather conditions this jacket could keep you warm, but in extreme conditions I would struggle to have confidence in this jacket. The liner is some what comfortable but understated. A thicker liner would have made a big difference. Over all it is a fair jacket.

This is the 2nd Credo Jacket I have purchased (the other one is Retro Red). They are both great jackets (warm w/o bulk, very water repellent, and wind-proof). The best thing about the jacket, though, is the number of compliments I get about its looks...it's very distinctive and, when people see the "OR" on the front, they know it's top-notch quality!

it took about 5 returns and hours and hours of looking to find this jacket. OR makes great quality stuff with all the features that some brands don't include. It has a draw string around the waist and neck and hook and loop closure straps to tighten the wrist. I couldn't think of a better soft shell.
