Outdoor Research Notion Insulated Jacket - Women's

Outdoor Research created the Women's Notion Jacket to replace the bulky, heavy fleece mid layers you wear under your shell jacket. This 11.7-ounce top uses Primaloft Sport insulation to add warmth to any skiing, climbing, or backpacking trip for less weight than most fleece tops. The highly compressible Notion Jacket hardly takes up any space in your pack when it's not needed. When you reach the belay or the ridge, warm your hands in the tricot-lined pockets, and when it’s time to move, stuff the jacket into its interior pocket.

Bottom Line: Upgrade from fleece with the lightweight, packable Notion Jacket.

Good lightweight layer..

By:
5 days ago

Saw this on steepandcheap.com and had to get it. I've been wanting a lightweight extra layer type jacket and this is a good alternative (esp. in terms of price) to the down sweater that I was originally eyeing. The sleeves are definitely a little short when you raise your arms up, but the elastic isn't too tight for me (got an XS). Since it isn't exactly backpacking season anymore, I've been using it as an extra layer under my snowboard shell and adds better warmth than just a hoodie. For the price on SAC, I can deal with the sleeves issue.

Maybe a newer version?

I was cautious to order but arm length is fine---Falls at the wrist and I am 5'2" 110 pounds with average arms. Price on SAC was great, quality good and weight is perfect...Nice!

Is this more fitted than the 2007? I ordered the 2007 Notion

Is this more fitted than the 2007? I ordered the 2007 Notion jacket in a large because I have wide shoulders and long arms, but the whole jacket feels boxy and loose. It does fit well over my shoulders and the arm length is ok. I am contemplating returning it for a medium, but I don't know if the medium will be too small through the shoulders and short in the arms? If this jacket is more fitted maybe a large will be fine. Suggestions?

On second thought

By:
February 24, 2009

If you have non-stub arms, this jacket will be annoying. I thought it would be fine, but after wearing it around a bit, the sleeves rode up practically to my elbows because the elastic was so tight, plus the shoulders fit pretty weird and didn't allow for that much movement. Reeeetuuuurrrrn

Notion - sweet, but semi-satisfactory sleeves

By:
February 20, 2009

Pretty sweet--bought this to be a warm layer for backpacking evenings and also under a ski shell. It's just the weight I was expecting, my only complaint is that the wrist elastic is kind of tight, and the sleeves aren't quite as long as I'd like. They aren't bad really, and I am quite tall and long-limbed so it's to be expected from time to time. Otherwise it is sweet, the lava color is fun, like fire-engine red.

Lightweight and warm

By:
October 21, 2009

I bought this jacket in the size XS and the color chocolate. I am happy with it. It is extremely lightweight, very soft and warm. I am 5'3" and 96lbs and it fits me just right, but I can see how the sleeves might be short on some people. They are just the right length on me, but they are certainly not long!

Warm and versatile

By:
August 9, 2009

I purchased this jacket as a lightweight insulating layer for backpacking. The brown color was just what I was looking for, and it's really lightweight for the amount of warmth it provides. I backpack in the high Sierras, so this jacket is useful to me during the summer when nights at altitude are still quite chilly. I also used it during my last winter living in New York's Finger Lakes. I layered it under my Marmot fleece jacket on my morning walks to the bus stop in the winter, and it was excellent. The arms are short, but I have no complaints about the elastic being too tight. My wrists are pretty small, so although I'd be pleased for longer sleeves, I'm usually wearing a long-sleeved shirt underneath, so I just pull the sleeves on the shirts out and really don't notice the short arms. I find it to be very comfortable to wear. The collar is great--soft, and just the right height. I recommend this jacket. It has been a versatile piece for me for backpacking. I can leave other clothing behind knowing that this jacket will keep me warm all by itself.

warning, these arm-lengths are indeed short!

By:
May 17, 2009

I purchased this jacket despite the warnings about the short arm lengths because my arms are short. Guess what, this jacket makes my arms look long!
I can't imagine this working for anyone. I couldn't even bend mine at the elbow once inside this jacket.
