Outdoor Research Transcendent Down Jacket - Men's

I bought this one after owning an arcteryx atom LT for about a year. This one is warmer, and packs slightly smaller. Love it. If I were to get it again, I'd get a hooded one to keep cozy on the real cold days.

I purchased the pewter in a small and it fit good. The armpits were tighter than other jackets with similar size. The quality seemed good and the warmth seemed to be good. I didn't keep it long because I was bummed to see it is made in China. I wanted to support a smaller company but it looks like they don't make them in the states. If you check out their website it seems like a good company. Also the Pewter color is a little darker, which I liked, than most all pictures I could find on line. Btw I am 5'9" and 140 lbs with 30 waist. This jacket is not bulky and is pretty light. It does have a nice tri cot soft lining on the inside of the collar, nice touch if you like that. The almost hidden chest pocket is pretty slick also. The material is a thin standard ripstop nylon, nothing fancy. Good luck

I love this jacket. Very impressed with its weight to warmth factor. Its a perfect layer in the backcountry sidecountry or at the area.

i tried a Patahoochie version (way too expensive), a Stoic version (wrist guards cut off my circulation) and the Revelcould from REI (didn't keep me warm at all) and came upon the OR version. LOVE It keeps me warm and toasty whether walking around in 40 degree weather or under a shell for snowboarding. packs down well (no pun intended). might even be able to use it as a down pillow-ette while camping.

Got this locally for $100 after passing on a patagonia marmot and mountain hardware all priced almost 2x more. Its not 800 fill but still toasty. Fit is great i am 5'8" 160lbs and got the medium. I use it under a shell on themountain and standalone on cool nights around my place. Plus OR has lifetime warranty which is a bonus.
