Outdoor Research Zealot Jacket - Men's

Item #ODR0111 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Lightweight and Durable

By Ranked #70 - Men's Rain Jackets November 7, 2008

I bought this jacket to replace a MH shell I've beat the tar out of. I was impressed with the weight when I bought it, but I was concerned about durability as I am FAMOUS for shredding things (if its not me, my horses do it for me).
This jacket has now survived over a year of daily bumming around town wear, riding horses through deep brush, and downpours. I am quite impressed with it actually.
My only issue with this jacket is the lack of hand pockets. It gets frustrating at times, especially as riding breeches don't have pockets either. (I'm always shoving things in the pockets of my fleece underneath)
It also fits me relatively well. As a woman wearing a man's jacket, this can be tough. I needed the size in the shoulders for freedom of movement.
Overall a GREAT jacket.
