I've worn this jacket - and its prototype - since June and it has quickly become my go-to jacket. That's the jacket that I grab 80% of the time, and have to justify replacing…

This is the best waterproof jacket I've ever used. I had nearly given up on GORETEX and fully waterproof layers for 90% of my days in the mountains, but the Axiom really is mu…

This is a great softshell for ice climbing and alpine pursuits. The hood is very roomy and fits great with a helmet, but doesn't feel too large when it is down and resting aga…

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…

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…

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 used this coat on several 21 day winter expeditions in the Cascade mountains of Oregon. It is great in snow and sleet, plus it blocks the wind well. I found if I was movin…

I bought this jacket 1 yr+ ago as both an all-around jacket and top of the line for my purposes-it has exceeded my expectations. A fashionable rain jacket to wear to work, tru…

I've had this jacket out several times when snowshoeing in the Adirondacks. It pops out of the pack and puffs up with a few shakes. The hood is plenty big for a helmet and t…

So I bought this one. Returned it. Changed my mind when it was on sale. Bought it again. I think the problem is this. Would I buy this hoody for $60. Probably. For $190? No. I…

Water hits this jacket, beads up and bounces off. Word. I have seen it with my own eyes. Freaky. The Mithrilite is breathable so water isn't forming on the inside either. Love…

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.…

I've used this jacket a lot recently in snow and it has worked great at keeping me dry and it does a decent job breaking the cut of the wind. This jacket has a great fit and i…
