I got my Ferrosi jacket about 9months ago and have used it all over the world mountaineering. I love it! Probably my favorite soft-shell jacket for Alpine Climbing and high intensity sports. A clothing company finally got it RIGHT! It's lightweight and breathable so i can use it all the time and not sweat to death on the inside. IF you need a softshell for high cardio out put, i would highly look at this layer!

This jacket is a thin softshell. It is very stretchy, the hood is just the right size, I have average arms and the sleeves fit great. The only down side is that over time the fabric on the arms have balls a little. I climb in it, I wear it over my snowboarding baselayer, I wear it on rainy days and I wear it everywhere! It's very comfortable.
Glad I found you!

Very surprised at everything this softshell offers: wind resistance, great athletic cut and sleeve/hem length, durability, breathability, construction. I'm able to keep it on during the ascent, and find that it offers much weather protection during the transition or above treeline exposure. I love the stash pockets on the inside - great for thawing your gloves or simply keeping them handy. Really stoked on this jacket! I'm 6' 185 and wear a Large with the ability to layer underneath.

Love this thing! I'm normally a large 165lbs. 5'11"but the large was way too big, sent it back for a medium which is great for a long sleeve crew and a 100 weight fleece. I could fit a ultra light down under the large but that's not what I want this for. Sleeves are long, great pockets, it stretches and I'm just done being being caught without a hood.
Very bright!

I love this for climbing! It works great, but dont get the srong idea, by no means is it water proof. When the rain drops get much bigger then a dew, it goes straight through. But when heading up to your favorite climbing spot and its a little chilly its handy for the trip and the climb. Nice piece, I have the entire line of OR Ferrosi and its a great piece to have. It does fit a little snug, but im pretty thick for a climber.
Great Jacket for Many Conditions

I use this jacket for alpine climbing & SAR (Diablo is great color). The fit is perfect (5'11" - 165lbs). Sleeves are long enough to keep your wrists covered when climbing. The fabric is very durable, water repellant and very breathable. It is a lighter weight softshell and will require layering when the temps drop. Hood is great under a helmet & the off center zip is a good touch. I prefer it to heavier softshells since I am warm natured. Combined with a superfine merino base layer and a mid weight zip neck thermal it is perfect when the temps are below 30 and windy.

Comfortable athletic fit
Joe

Just pulled this out of the box and really liking it around the house. Figured I'd share my experiences regarding fit.
I'm 6'1" 185lbs -- just pudgy enough to avoid anything that fits too athletic. I'm typically a large from companies with a more generous cut (Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear, Marmot etc) while I often have to move up to XL in an athletic cut like Arcteryx. The large is very comfortable with a base layer, just loose enough. I can fit a light mid layer or even 200 weight fleece under it, but it's not quite as comfortable.
I am intending to use this as a casual jacket around town in the summer as well as backcountry use, so I wouldn't mind a bit baggier fit. I tried the XL and the fit was really pretty good for this purpose, but the cuffs on the sleeves were too large to keep them at my wrists, and I knew this would by annoying. So, sizing up for a less athletic fit doesn't work too well with this garment. But, I'm happy enough with the fit of the large; it'll be great for technical use and should do ok enough around town.
Loving it around the house, so I'm excited to see how it handles the elements.
Incredibly durable

While not pictured here, I was wearing the Ferrosi at the time and endured hours of this scrub oak hell using the jacket as protection. It came through with out even a minor tear or scratch. Too bad I'm still having PTSD.

One of the best for ski mountaineering and general backcountry skiing!

I'm not one that cares about the technical details of clothing as I think all too often companies make whatever bogus claim is trendy at the time. However, I am 100% about function. If a piece of equipment is too heavy, doesn't breath properly, or simply doesn't function as it should, it gets the axe. For the last couple years, I have been experimenting with clothing systems for backcountry skiing and am now fully convinced that what we do is an aerobic activity on par with cross country skiing or running. For the 'up', our clothing should be lightweight, water resistant, and highly breathable. Anything more might as well be a big black plastic garbage bag.
Enter the Outdoor Research Ferrosi jacket and pants. These pieces were originally intended for spring climbing as lightweight softshell protection for wind and scattered storms but I find that they are perfect for backcountry skiing. Particularly in the Wasatch where the weather and storms are typically dry, some of the heavier technical shells are superfluous. I typically start out with a short sleeve technical T-shirt with the Ferrosi Jacket and will often only wear this to the summit. It breaths incredibly well yet provides ample protection from wind/light precip. The pants are also highly breathable, stretch to provide free movement, and are cut the way pants should be. Incredulous, I have seen friends out this spring using heavy Goretex pants when the sun is shining and the temps are predicted to be in the "we probably shouldn't be skiing range".
Please understand that I believe that Goretex and heavier layers have their time and place. I always carry a puffy or some form of more protective layers...in my pack. I'm just saying that I've been there, miserably sweating like a fat ass, when there was an alternative.
So, if you can relate to any of the above, check out the Outdoor Research Ferrosi line. It's affordable with the jacket retailing for $125 and the pants for $75. And, you get some spring/fall climbing duds at the same time.

This hoody is my helmet's best friend when we go ice-climbing the three of us! Super durable and technical hoody for winter or summer ascents!
