Outdoor Research Trance Sweater Down Jacket - Men's - 2007

This is a fine sweater/jacket. it is fairly thin. Seems well made and looks like it will hold up. Simple features - e.g., no zippers on hand pockets, which makes it easy to stash. I'd recommend this to someone who wants a basic down sweater for the hut or a thin jacket for around town and who likes a loose fit.

Unfortunately for me, the medium wasn't a great fit for me. This jacket is roomier than the Patagonia down sweater, which I prefer.

To see is to believe. To try is also to believe. I did. And I believed.

Downside (more like, just annoying) little feather stuff sips out once in a while.

Overall, this light piece of jacket is really warm. You'd be surprised to only have a shirt underneath this jacket and be warm. and I live in a place that gets below -40 degrees.

For someone looking for a mid weight layer to go under a shell, this is a good choice. Functional styling with nice touches such as a micro fleece lined collar, zipper guard at the top of the zipper and hand warmer pockets. Quality construction, minimal down shedding. Only concern is the zipper is a little small. Stuffs well in suppplied stuff sack.

Great piece! Light enough to take my pack, but durable enough to wear daily to work. I particularly like the light fleece lining on the collar. Warm on the neck, and it doesn't grease-out after several days of ski touring. Generous fit.

The OR Trance is now my favorite jacket. It is really lightweight and not bulky at all like other puffy down jackets. I can wear a t-shirt under it and go out in 30 degrees and still be warm. It's thin enough to layer under a shell, yet the fit is big enough to wear it as a top layer over a t-shirt or two and a fleece jacket, and still have ample room and movement. And I love the fleece-lined collar. The only gripe I have is that the tag says the jacket comes with a stuff sack, but mine did not. Great jacket though!

Great jacket!! I love it!!! Its super warm I wear it in the winter and in spring! it insulates very well! the features are awesome it is supper lightweight and looks ultra classy! I do research outdoors and love the pockets on the inside great to keep some papers in! It also moves well i feel comfortable skiing or hiking in it! Its a must have down jacket!
