Outdoor Research

Outdoor Research

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.

Outdoor Research Crystal Jacket - Windstopper® (For Women)

Describe Yourself:

Chest Size:
Feels true to size

Feels too small
Sleeve Length:
Feels true to length
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
This jacket was too short in the front. The length in the back was perfect but the front barely came down to my belt buckle. I'm about 5'5", 107 lbs and I got an XS. I do have a somewhat long torso and I tend to wear low-rise jeans, but it still could have been longer. Also, the neck was stiff and tight, and I have a very thin neck. Most jackets have necks that are way too big for me!! Other than that, it seemed to fit well in the chest and the sleeves. The jacket seemed a little too lightweight for colder temps but it did seem to block some wind. I ended up returning this item.

Wish this general jacket style came in longer version, parka-length, with a slight flare to accomodate some tummy and hips--We are not all svelte and slender. Am still looking for similar, longer-length highly packable light-weight insulating layer.
