If you are like me, you don't go hiking when the weather forecast calls for three to four days of solid rain. Most the time you never take your rain gear out of your pack, so…

This thing is light. It rocks when you're on the rocks and it comes with me anytime I think it might rain. I love the no frills design and helmet compatible hood. If you're lo…

All the OR jackets I've used have great hoods! This matters bigtime when you're slogging through the rain! The Foray's hood is no exception; it keeps the rain off your face w…

This soft shell is light as the day is long! It is also very stretchy. This will be a great mid layer for an Alpine climb or a light shell in the summer. Great Choice!…

I thought this jacket was pretty good, but it didn't seem to breath very well and I don't know that I would trust it in a downpour. Also the hood was too big.…

Nice minimalist softshell but the sizing didn't work for me. Snug in the torso while the arms were quite loose. I'm 6ft 175 and wear size m in Patagonia and TNF consistently…
