Outdoor Research Refuge Down Jacket - Women's
Just What I Was Looking For
By yaheweha
Ranked #174 - Women's Down Jackets
March 20, 2008
I purchased the size small and it was a perfect fit for me (5'5 1/2", 134 lbs).
It is a beautiful jacket, though I bought it more for high alpine temperatures and conditions, so style is fairly irrelevant. Each of the features is both helpful and easily accessed. There are draw-string pulls on various parts (the waist and the hood most importantly) that allow for a snug fit that is custom-created by you.
The removable hood is also a great feature, and it is large enough to fit over a helmet.
It fits into a stuff-sack 1/5 of the size of the jacket and is a good weight considering the warmth of the jacket.
I have enjoyed it so far, and I trust it will serve me well in the upcoming season of mountaineering.
