Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Light, breathable, and dry. An absolute steal if you grab it during the end of season sale. We've been blessed with a wet winter in CA, so I've had ample opportunity to test this jacket and it's performed admirably. With Outdoor Research, I don't feel like I'm paying for the brand rather than the quality. I'm 5'10" and 150 lbs. and the small perfectly fits a trim fleece and down jacket with enough room to move. I'm the only one at the office with a dry torso.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Weird sizing This jacket is light and has a bunch of pockets which are nice. I like the hood fit with and without a helmet. Like other reviewers, I have also experienced fraying of the face fabric around the cuffs and other areas after not too much use. My biggest gripe though is the fit of the arms. I'm 5'10", 165lbs, broad shoulders, athletic build, and have long arms. I ordered a Large originally. It was comically large. I swapped for a medium, and it is somewhat trim fitting. I can't layer much underneath (sweatshirt thickness max.) because there is not enough room around the elbows, and I can't bend my arms to reach my collarbone. My arms are not particularly large in diameter. The medium also does not reach my wrists with my arms raised straight at shoulder level. Kind of a bummer with gloves.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for ski touring I finally got to take this jacket ski touring and I love it. It checks all of the boxes. I'm 5'8" 150. I have tons of OR jackets. I'm usually a medium but with my hard shells, that doesn't leave room for layering / throwing it on over a puffy on cold days. This jacket fits bigger than most so I can easily put it on over my ski puffy or a hoody mid-layer, but it doesn't feel too baggy. Other things that are great: - It's super light and packs small. This was key for me since the hardshell is often in the pack. - The hood is big enough to go over my helmet - It has glove stash pockets - It has the foam inserts so it stays put under a harness (haven't verified how well it works yet) - Zips up from the bottom too for belaying Only 1 day in it but so far, it's exactly what I've been looking for for touring and ski mountaineering. I also think it will be good for winter alpine climbing.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Nice fabric with unknown performance and odd pockets I generally like OR and Ascentshell from previous jackets and have been looking for something like the Helium Ascentshell for ages. It ticks many boxes in being light, functional and versatile but also leaves you frustrated in that it could be so much better with a few minor changes. Really makes me wonder if they have real users test or design these jackets. Fit of this jacket is good. I'm 6" 180lbs 40" chest average build and arm length and Medium fits well. Has room for layers (fleece + light down/puffy) underneath but can be worn without as well. It has a long hem which is good for staying under pack hipbelt/climbing harness with foam pieces in the hem. I got yellow color which is nice to be visible on the mountain with bright color and it looks good. Unfortunately, this color/material attracts dirt easily and isn't easy to clean. I've only worn it for 1 month on 8000m mountaineering trip where the majority of the time is on glacier/snow and the cuffs are dirty looking and can't get them clean. Also the cuffs have started to fray so not confident about how long the jacket will last. Material isn't crinkly/noisy and soft/light so moves well. I feel like this Pertex Ascentshell doesn't breathe as well as standard Ascentshell and might not be as durable, but this is just based on feeling and not any standardized testing. It's too bad that OR didn't share a comparison of the performance between Pertex Ascentshell vs Ascentshell to see which is more breathable and waterproof based on their testing. The pockets are a disappointment. They advertise: High Hand Pockets Placed Above Hip Belt and Harness & Dual Internal Mesh Stash Pockets. But the hand pockets are directly underneath hip belts and harness. Napolean style large chest pockets would be much more functional and wouldn't interfere with harness. The external chest pocket is very small and barely fits a small phone. The mesh stash pockets are too narrow for skins.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Waterproof, Windproof, Warm, and Extremely Comfortable While I haven't brought this jacket on a ski trip yet it has kept me warm, dry, and comfortable during the cold, wet San Francisco summer while on the bay, wandering the hills, and walking around the city.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I hate to say it, but a quiver of one jacket? This jacket is rad, its super light-weight and yet still heavy on the features! It means I don't need to decide between going fast and light, or having the creature comforts I enjoy out of a hard-shell. A huge standout is the longer hemline, that stays below harnesses and hip-belts really well, especially with the additional foam balls sewn into the hemline to keep it from riding up underneath the aforementioned.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from love it I've used this product on cooler rainy days and paired it with a MH Ghost whisperer/2. the combination of the water and windproof properties as well as keeping the right amount of heat under the jacket was perfect. I am a big fan of this jacket
Date published: 2022-05-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Positive Impressions Overall, great jacket. When sitting still or lightly active, the jacket breathes really well. On a short hike uphill in windy conditions on a portion of the CDT I found the jacket much more breathable than the average rain jacket, but it still got a bit damp inside after a mile of mild uphill elevation gain. I can't help but feel like the lack of pit zips on this jacket was an oversight, not a testament to breathability. The HAS is really light weight. It feels surprisingly durable to the touch despite the light weight and thin fabric feel. I'll have to see how it stands up over time. I'm cautiously optimistic in that regard. It does have slightly paper-y fabric quality, but it didn't bother me when I was wearing it. For an emergency stash jacket in an alpine environment I think this is a great pick. Not sure I'd choose to hike/climb on a routine basis while actually wearing the jacket, but I would feel very confident wearing in a pop up squall or snow storm. In fact I would say I'd likely rather have this tucked away than carry the weight of a full Gortex Pro shell "just in case". If I knew I was going to be in bad weather for several days, I'd likely still opt for a full Pro shell. I overall feel like this is a step up from the Foray II jacket which I also own. I would be more willing to take the $$ Foray out on a long distance hike where I might have to sacrifice the jacket to a tear from a random tree branch or rock than a $$$ HAS, however. In fairness I have scraped the HAS up against a branch or two and it seems to have come out unscathed so far.
