Doesnt even feel like youre wearing anything

Ranked #615 - Men's Rain Jackets
April 17, 2006
I didnt think there was anything in the box when it arrived. A 7.7oz jacket is definitely nice! Very sleek fit, breathes great, feels great, looks great. Has a pretty stiff zipper with the semi-waterproof system. Very thin material has me a little nervous for bushwhacking in the backcountry. I'll trust that OR and Gore-Tex will live up to their names though. The hood stays out of the way in the back most of the time. I like that the hood uses a cinch system similar my OR Nimbus Sombrero, but it doesnt tighten around the face very well. My medium size was about right. Dont think I could put more than a thin shirt or two under it though. Pitzips would have been nice, but then it wouldnt have been the minimalist jacket that it is.
