Outdoor Research Virtuoso Down Jacket - Men's

Wind-swept summit ridges and exposed skin tracks are rife with bone-chilling winds and bitter cold. The solution? The Outdoor Research Men’s Virtuoso Down Jacket. This master of insulation features fluffy yet compressible 650-fill goose down for warmth worthy of the big mountains and waterproof breathable Pertex Endurance panels on the shoulders and arms for protection against spindrift and wet snow. The adjustable hood protects your noggin during harsh storms, and the Virtuoso packs up into one of its zippered handwarmer pockets when you’re on the move.

Bottom Line: A true maestro of insulating protection.

Cold dry bliss

I don't use down all the time, but when conditions permit (cold and dry), there is nothing quite like it for packability and warmth. This coat combines all the best attributes for a warm coat. It isn't the overkill of the arctic explorers stay puffed marshmellow man, nor the stay warm at night in winter in Mexico, but the happy medium of bulk and weight. Combine this with an integrated hood-mandatory for any coat in my opinion- and a pertex shell that sheds moisture or spilled drink and you have a perfect down coat. You can also stuff it into one of its pockets and it makes a perfect pillow.

I wear a large in almost everything and I think this jacket runs true to size. I have a large and it fits perfect. I am 6'2" and 180lbs, athletic build. Hope that helps

Way too big!

By:

I'm 5'10", 180lbs, and athletic build. This jacket was cut all wrong. I wanted a good fit to go under the shell, but I was able to don this jacket with the main zipper fully zipped. Large is good in jackets with fitted styling, and I would try a size down but I think that might even be too big. Plus it pooches out at the belly. Good features, just cut in a very unflattering pattern.

Why would you give this 2 stars when you bought the wrong size? A lot of down jackets are sized large to accomodate lots of layers underneath.

Virtuoso Jacket is fantastic

Just got the OR Virtuoso jacket the day before a late season canoe trip and it saved my bacon. Temp in Algonquin park averaged -7 last week and the warmth and especially compactability suited the trip to perfection.
