Outdoor Research Tremor Jacket - Men's - 2007 BCS

First of all the Tremor runs small. Size up at least one size and maybe too to accomodate for a severe athletic fit.
The Jacket looks great yet lacks alot of the bells and whistles OR is known for.
The main zipper is not a two way which is a major limitation. The pit zips do not go all the way to the hem like they do on almost all OR's other jackets.
A great coat if it cost you less than a C note.
I still love OR products for their quality.

Not the jacket to buy if you're looking for any sort of warmth. But overall, pretty sweet jacket. The hood attachment is kind of cheesy--a zipper would be better. Also, the "soft" shell isn't too soft. Mesh in the pit zips would be nice. Great athletic fit.

Thin and light jacket. Ventilation is excellent, very long pit zips and front pockets double as mesh lined vents. For ice climbing, does not possess double front zipper. Also, hood is very small and not helmet compatible. Hood is attached by two small stips, very easy to remove. Besides hood, seems like a very good jacket for ice climbing and maybe hiking in the winter above treeline. Without a helmet, the hood is very good, it closes to cover your entire mouth. The hood actually covers you much like a windproof balaclava might. If I had to choose a sport that fits this jacket best it would be above treeline winter hiking. If you remove the hood then its as good for ice climbing as any other hoodless windproof softshell. Personally I don't think it one of the less pretentious looking softshells.

1ST OFF I HAVE TO SAY THAT I LOVE O.R. PRODUCTS.. THEY ARE METICULOUSLY CRAFTED WITH GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL. THE FRENZY IS VERY ATHLETIC AND FORM FITTING, CAN ACCOMODATE A 100 WEIGHT LAYER WELL. IT IS MORE OF A HYBRID SOFT SHELL/HARD SHELL. NOT YOUR TYPICAL SOFT SHELL. THE FRONT ZIPPER DESIGN IS CUMBERSOME AND EXPENDS MORE ENERGY THAN I'M WILLING TO DEAL WITH FIDDLING AROUND. THE HOOD IS A PAIN AS WELL. TO MAKE THE FRENZY A PRODUCT I WOULD BUY: INTEGRATE THE HOOD, ATTACHED HOODS NEVER SEEM TO FUNCTION AS WELL. RE-DESIGN THE CHEST POCKETS. IN FACT, GET RID OF THE CHEST POCKET, ADD A NAPOLEON POCKET AND A ARM ZIP. MAKE A MORE PLUSH STRETCHIER SOFT SHELL FABRIC AND IT WOULD BE A HIT!

love the coat. like the detachable hood, when wearing helmet. good zippers. the shoulders are the softshell windstopper. have the matching pant which are also great.
