Been very happy
I have had this jacket for some time but had yet to have some good rain or snow to really test it in. On a recent very wet trip to the coast and at home in the snow it has worked like a charm. Great at keeping me dry without condensation inside the jacket.

Excellent Hardshell
I've been using this jacket hiking around PNW, I live in Portland and love using OR gear for my hikes. Packs down fairly small, and I'm very happy with the zipper system. As a tall human (6'4) I often worry about sleeves being long enough, and this jacket didn't disappoint. I loan out OR gear to lots of my friends and they're always happy when they get caught in the rain.

OR Ascentshell Jacket
Really enjoy the texture of this jacket for a rain coat. Doesn't feel like a tarp and moves with you. Nice and light weight too.

Great Minimalist Shell
Minimalist design is great; still keeps some adjustability to hood and a small adjustment cord at the bottom of the jacket. Lack of velcro cuffs is a surprise that isn't noted in the description. Fits well. Room in shoulders and tighter in the midsection is excellent for layering where it matters most. Haven't tested in a deluge but works well in misty/foggy days where humidity is 100% but not raining.

Good quality
I have a dozen rain shells. Bought this one as a medium weight somewhat breathable version. Got it oversized to fit warner layer beneath as needed. It does not have pit zips; so, will see how I can shed excess heat when hiking.

Typhoon in Japan, no problem!
My wife and I just returned from two weeks in Japan, a late season typhoon was ordered up for us, seriously, this jacket handled without issue. I was dry, the contents of my pockets were dry (except the pocket I forgot to zip!). We were in Nagano, Matsumoto, Kamikochi and Narita, hiking, climbing, moving with baggage from trains to trains. While in the Alps someone in our party forgot an outer layer. I lent them my puffy and I put on the OR as an outer layer, it performed that task well too. I won't denigrate other options, but I've tried many. This one is my favorite.

Good lightweight waterproof jacket
Overall it does exactly what it says. It keeps you dry in moderate rain. It is not insulated but a mid layer makes it reasonable for warmth. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it it a bit snug through the shoulders for me (6'2", 220lbs), and that it doesn't have a pouch to fold it into when not in use. I did find a good youtube video that shows how to fold about any jacket into a self contained roll that worked well though.

Great Basic Rain Shell
I have used this jacket mountain biking and spring skiing. It has functioned well. There is nothing fancy about the jacket, which was one of the main reason's I purchased. It sheds water well and is easy to pack. True to size and has held up well the last six months.

Fit is not great.
Overall the jacket will keep you dry. If you are looking for something with an athletic fit that won't get in the way you may want to look at something else.

Solid rain jacket
Light weight and waterproof. Not super stiff and smooth to touch. Keeps me dry in a deluge.
