Shadow Insulated Hooded Jacket - Men's

Excellent puffy

I love this jacket - it’s lightweight, comfortable, and packable. This is my second shadow hoodie, and the most recent version has longer sleeves. Not a huge deal, but if I’m not using the thumb looks, I fold the sleeves inward to sit on my wrist. I’m 6’2”, 205lbs and ordered the large.

Exterior shell problems

I brought it about 2 months ago , found exterior shell white fibres came out, feel not reliable and durable material.

My Shadow is AMAZN

This jacket is great !! I received this jacket about a month ago and have been very impressed so far. It is very warm considering how light it is and very comfortable. The level of water resistance is more than capable for light rain and light snow.

Warm and light weight; my only complaint is the lack of zipped chest pocket found on most other mid layers and shells that OR offers.

Sizing

The jacket is comfortable and mostly fits. When I purchased the jacket I didn't look closely at the sizing chart. The store offers a medium jacket, and that's what I needed with the exception of the arm length. I needed a medium/long, the arm's of the jacket are too short. The tag that is on the jacket has M/M which makes me wonder if the jacket may come in the correct size however OR doesn't offer it at the online store.

Warm, stylish and water resistant for hours

Pros: Good insulation, stylish fit for city and outdoor wear, handles rain for upton3-4 hours Cons: Zipper gets stuck and takes longer to dry once wet

Almost Awesome.

I bought this to replace a northface summit series. I love the inside pockets for gloves and hats when not in use but could use a chest pocket preferably on the outside and the hood is so tight it crushes a ball cap and if I have the hood up and want to zip the jacket all the way it’s so tight I feel strangled.

Warm and light

I wore this on the AT in the evenings. Lightweight synthetic filling that will keep you warm and comfortable. Large inside pockets and and very flexible.

Decent coat

This coat is definitely high quality, but the fit is odd on my body. I know that isn't ubiquitous, but it is certainly something to state. OR is generally quite high quality, so I am, as usually, happy.

Exactly what I wanted this jacket to be

This is now my go-to mid-layer for snowboarding, workhorse layer for high exertion mountain hikes and around town choice when it's not cold enough to warrant the big puffy.
