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.

It's another example of "utilitarian chic" — the no-frills philosophy that has made Outdoor Research an innovative leader. ... Less

Too late to wear untill spring for hiking, cold weather is here in Minnesota. I have a few other skorts, and this will be my favorite. Soft and stretchy. I like the pull string tie waste to fit me just right and not in the way of a pack strap. Perfect for hiking and climbing up hills.

Outdoor Research Elixir Gore-Tex® PacLite® Jacket - Waterproof (For Men)
 
Pretty, pretty good!
By Ints from Los Angeles on 10/31/2009
Pros:
Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Waterproof
Best Uses:
Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping, Wet Weather
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Chest Size:
Feels too big
Fit:
Feels too big
Sleeve Length:
Feels true to length
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
I'm a 6'2" and pretty slim. At first the jacket felt a bit big for me but a good thing about it is I can wear a number of layers under it. So, at the end I don't think it's that big of a deal and I guess it's a question of preference as well. In general I like closer fit. I haven't been in the rain with it, cuts wind very well.
