Outdoor Research, whose products bear the ubiquitous "OR" label, is regarded as a world-class technical outfitter known for high-quality mountaineering accessories. Outdoor Research's history goes back to 1981 when founder Ron Gregg was working on his doctorate in applied physics. A passionate mountain climber, he took a near-calamitous trip to the summit of Mt. McKinley with bad gaiters, suffered from cold, wet feet, and thereafter developed a snow-proof gaiter in his basement. Other products followed and Outdoor Research was born. Gregg found his niche in the "little things people don't give a second thought to, but wish they had." Outdoor Research designed first-aid kits, waterproof overmitts, casings to keep water bottles from freezing, and crampon pouches. Outdoor Research's famous Seattle Sombrero—a Gore-Tex® hat that looks more like a fedora than a sombrero — is still seen on the streets of Seattle (and slopes of nearby mountains) today. It's another example of "utilitarian chic" — the no-frills philosophy that has made Outdoor Research an innovative leader. ... Less

I am saving the shirt for a trip this spring. It seems like it will work well. The neck seems a little big to me. Maybe my neck is too skinny.

Comments:
I have purchased 8 of these now. I just bought two more for Christmas gifts. Be advised, the small is a perfect fit for me, but I am 5'4" and weigh about 118 lbs. It is a shorter jacket and might not work for every body type. I think the newer jackets (which have the smaller flower isignia) are cut even a bit smaller...at least it feels that way. I wear mine for running, hiking, around town, under my hard shell for warmth for cold weather sports. I have a black, blue, and green one now...I've given my daughter two and she's about to get another. I love giving this jacket as a gift...people love it. I'm especially happy when I can purchase it for a great price!

Nice fit, and warm. Haven't tested them below 40 degrees. Not the most attractive inside "grip" design, and like another reviewer said, the inside texture felt strange at first, but now feels comfortable.
