Description

Save the hot tub for the end of the day.

Big, mean storms might dump the deepest, lightest snow you've ever seen, but without the insulation and the other essential features of the Outdoor Research Stormbound Jacket, you might as well just give up and go back to the hot tub. The 650-Fill down insulated body traps your core's heat while the Pertex Shield fabric, fully taped seams, and water-resistant zippers stop the snow from getting inside your Stormbound fortress.

  • Advanced Pertex Shield technology offers 20K-rated protection from relentless, heavy snow while remaining highly breathable
  • Lightweight but durable shell fabric stands up to season after season of use
  • Fully taped seams stop moisture from sinking in between the stitching
  • 650-fill down insulation offers an exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio
  • Low-profile Thermore insulation below the powder skirt gives you water-resistant insulation where you need it
  • Removable powder skirt stops powder from flying up your back
  • Underarm zip vents ditch excess heat when you're working up a sweat
  • Removable, helmet-compatible hood keeps the wind and snow off your head
  • Zip-out balaclava shields you from driving wind and extreme weather
  • Removable powder skirt with LockDown tech attaches to the belt loops of compatible pants to keep snow out
  • ThumbDrive hook-and-loop cuffs acts like a versatile thumb loop to keep your arms dry and warm
  • Plenty of pocket space, including a pass pocket with key-clip attachment, keeps you organized

After a long search, I finally found the ski jacket I was looking for. I thought the Patagonia Powder Bowl was going to be the answer, but it ended up having some serious functional flaws. On the other hand, this OR jacket seems to have been designed with functional requirements in mind.

1) the shell is adaptive and moves well with your body

2) the hood fits over my RED Avid helmet easily, allows me to zip up the collar, and provides a bit of head movement

3) has all the usual tech: fully taped seams, water resistant zippers, down, removable powder skirt, etc.

4) bonus: removable built-in balaclava

5) seems like it's configured to allow you to "batten down the hatches" on a cold snowy day, or stay cool on a warm day if you just wear a base-layer, unzip everything, and remove components (balaclava, snow skirt)

In my opinion the jacket has a great cut. It doesn't pull on my shoulders, but still conforms to my frame. It's also very cozy; I feel like I'm wearing a hoodie. I tried the grey color on and liked it, but ended up getting the blue instead.

As I was reading jacket reviews for Outdoor Research, Patagonia, Mountain Hardware, etc., I found this criteria from a reviewer on the Patagonia site: I want to "put [the jacket] on and forget that I am wearing it". The Stormbound jacket meets this requirement 100% and remains fully functional, so I highly recommend it.

5'11" 145lbs with broad shoulders: size small (medium was too baggy, small is just right)

Update: I used the jacket this weekend at Stowe. Temps were in the 20's with wind/snow. I was comfortable with just a light baselayer and stayed warm and dry. I felt very mobile in the jacket. The mesh gear pockets are very useful when you get back to the lodge. The thumb loops were a nice surprise, and I ended up using them all weekend. I also tried out the balaclava while it was snowing. My gaiter-clad friends were complaining of cold faces, but I was very comfortable. One complaint is concerning the excessive number of feathers stuck to my baselayer when I removed the jacket. I hope this situation improves with usage. I'm still really pleased with this jacket.

Update 2: I used the jacket for 7 days in Colorado. Again I was impressed with how warm I stayed when my friends were cold. I also got to test the jacket out in 45 degree weather. With a baselayer and the pit zips open I was very comfortable. The jacket continues to shed feathers leading to jokes about avian moulting.

I bought this jacket 4 months ago. Since then I've stayed perfectly warm in -5�F w/ windchill with only a base layer and this jacket. I've also stayed comfortable working outside on sunny 35� days. (thanks to the pit zips) The waterproofing has worked great and I've had no issues with getting wet, even after washing the jacket.
Pros: Warm, waterproof, comfortable, SUPER light weight, looks great, hood and arms are down filled.
Cons: Pit zips are a little difficult to open without help, there's no mesh in pit zips, they're just wide open,You can feel the pull out balaclava inside the jacket when sitting in a chair (not horrible but it's there), every once in a while I find a feather that got out.

Best jacket I've owned by far.

I have this jacket as well...but I havent felt the balaclava when sitting. I did notice you need to pack it in the compartment right or it will be bunched up.
