Outdoor Research Igneo Insulated Jacket - Men's - 2009 BCS

I'm 5'11" 170 and the jacket was a little big to keep me warm w/o some layering bulkier than 2 thin layers I wore in sub-freezing Utah winds. Styling could be a little bit nicer, but otherwise really good and a great value.

I absolutely love this jacket. This is has become my go to winter coat. I have skiied in it and bummed around town. When the mercury starts dropping I can hang out in just a t-shirt and this jacket. As long as it is above -10 degrees, that is...

The length of the jacket is great. It comes down to a little past my waist. Longer in the back that the front. I'm also happy with the removable powder skirt and hood. I'm 6' and 175 lbs and wear a large with just enough space underneath to layer up, if necessary. This thing is very waterproof. I'm a huge fan of this jacket. Durable, waterproof, warm.

All I can say is.. BUY IT!

Despite skiing for 27 years, I can honestly say I've never owned a true ski jacket. Granted, as a kid, I generally got hand me downs. Even with a few 100+ day seasons right after college, I also belonged to the layering is better mentality, and would but four sometimes five layers under a short softshell, and never often got cold around the waist, where layers would not overlap.

With this coat, I need made a thin poly-pro layer and thin fleece and good to go. Recently it handled 15 degree, windy weather no problem, not cold at all. In fact, I got rid of a layer mid-morning.

Removable hood is great, as I rarely use one. The only time I'd have a hood would be in the rain, but I'd probably be wearing another jacket. Plenty of pockets, including an internal zippered pocket that is great for point and shoot camera/ipod/phone.

My only complaint would be the cuffs. The arms are fairly baggy, but the cuff is tight. I like to have my jacket over gloves, but this makes it difficult to with this jacket.

For those fashionable conscious (I'm not, but my wife suggested) the espresso goes better with tan pants. Of course, non of my ski pants were tan, so I had to to get a new pair.

Plus, cheers to backcountry staff (as always) for helping me decide and handling an issue with later seeing this jacket on steep and cheap

I primarily bought this jacket for a warm winter ski/snowboard jacket and I was looking for a highly visible yellow jacket for low visibility days. The only jacket that I saw that met both these standards was this OR jacket. I love everything about it and I hope to be wearing this jacket for years to come.

I bought this jacket recently and loved it the moment I tried it on. Its super comfy, the fit is normal, and its really warm. I've been out snowboarding in it several times both backcountry and on the lifts. I have not needed to layer it with anything and the pit zips are great for venting heat. The thing is also impressively waterproof, i've been snowboarding all day in falling snow and not a bit damp or wet. Best insulated winter coat i've ever bought.

Outstanding jacket,very warn,love the vents under the arms.I'm thin and trim 6'1 190lbs. a large fits perfect,but no room for sweater or anything under
