AdventuresNW.net Review – Furio Jacket/

AdventuresNW.net reviews the OR Furio Jacket:
“We put this jacket on a few testers and sent them into wettest environments we could find: the forests on the west side of the Olympics. Tramping through temperate rainforests, the hikers returned upset and angry. Why? Because there was only one Furio, and they all wanted it! The trio of testers reports that the lightweight jacket effectively block rain while shedding sweat moisture, but Outdoor Research’s unique design features excel at maximizing breathability and ventilation. The Furio blends featherweight Gore-Tex PacLite throughout the core of the jacket, with stout Gore-Tex ProShell in the shoulder yoke and along the sides. This creates durability in the high-wear areas while minimizing weight overall. The addition to core venting, dubbed TorsoFloTM by Outdoor Research, helps shed excess heat and prevent sweating much better than traditional pit-zips. The TorsoFloTM system features side zippers from the jacket hem to the upper arm section of the sleeve. You can literally open the entire sides of the jacket without getting wet.

TheBigOutside.com Review – Mt. Baker Modular Mitts/

TheBigOutside.com reviews the OR Mt. Baker Modular Mitts:
“Skiing in a wind chill around zero at times during a four-day, January trip to a backcountry yurt in Idaho’s Boise Mountains, my fingers – which get cold very easily – stayed toasty in this two-layer, mitten-glove system. The warmth comes from 170 grams of PrimaLoft synthetic insulation in the glove-style insert, which has a soft, fleece lining. The Gore-Tex mitten shell is made with the same 70-denier taslan ripstop polyester used in OR’s highly durable gaiters. And the mitts are designed with smart details, like the one-hand gauntlet cinch on the shell mitten that’s manipulated easily with a gloved hand, and the carabiner loop on the shell.

Climbing Magazine Review – Mithrilite Jacket/

Climbing Magazine reviews the OR Mithrilite Jacket

Climbing Magazine reviews the OR Mithrilite Jacket:
“Full water- and windproofness usually means I’m sweating like the devil in church on any outing that doesn’t boast single-digit temps. The Outdoor Mithrilite spites the trend and presents an extremely lightweight (24 oz) and versatile softshell with full waterproof capabilities. Perfect for spring alpine conditions, it’s proven its worth hailstorms and sunless Colorado approaches in temps ranging from the low 20s to low 50s, without the slightest hint of overheating. My favorite feature is OR’s TorsoFlo two-way waist-to-pit zips. When the jacket is tucked under a harness, you can zip down from the pit and still have complete side ventilation, or, if it’s layered on top, you can zip up from the waist. I layered over base, mid, and puffy layers for winter outings, but for maximum breathability during intense performance, a base and mid layer underneath were ideal. A fully adjustable hood (around the face and in the back for use with a helmet), comfy adjustable cuffs, hand-warmer pockets, and a chest pocket were icing on the cake.”

SplitterChoss.com Review – Havoc Jacket/

SplitterChoss.com reviews the OR Havoc Jacket:
“With temps in the 40′s, and an overcast sky, the climbing was perfect but belaying certainly got a little chilly. Enter the Havoc. I popped this thing on between routes and stayed as toasty as I needed. The synthetic Primaloft ECO insulation doesn’t look like much, but it packs a powerful punch, providing a plethora of heat. (It’s also made from 50% recycled materials, which is nice.) The Gore Windstopper fabric adds to the warmth, effectively cutting the wind chill to zero inside the jacket. And when the sky started dropping water bombs on us, despite the weatherman’s empty promise of no precipitation that day, the jacket shed the moisture without effort.”

MilitaryTimes.com Review – Cirque Pants/

MilitaryTimes.com reviews the OR Cirque Pants:
“I asked my wife to describe the pants to me, and she immediately blurted out ‘they are awesome!’. The pants were very versatile, both from the point of view of different conditions they were used in (from house to mountains), but also in that they were able to be layered with a base layer/ tights if the weather grew too cold.”

PracitcalTravelGear.com – Transcendent Beanie/

PracticalTravelGear.com features the OR Transcendent Beanie:
“It’s fun, funky, and as warm as a sleeping bag. It’s got 650 fill down to protect your head in frigid conditions. It’s still easy to pack though: it compresses down and will pop back up like the Aflac duck when you get to your destination.  It’s also got stretch stitching, so it’ll adjust to multiple head sizes.”

PracticalTravelGear.com Review – Town Wall Beanie/

PracticalTravelGear.com reviews the OR Town Wall Beanie:
“There are two layers of treated Dri-Release poly/wool, a blend that is very warm but isn’t itchy. In my experiences skiing and hiking in cold conditions, it has performed well in wicking the sweat away. It’s also treated with “FreshGuard” to keep it from getting stinky.”

BackcountrySkiingCanada.com Review – Virtuoso Jacket/

BackcountrySkiingCanada.com reviews OR Virtuouso Jacket:
“The Virtuous provides considerably more warmth when compared to the Transcendent Hoody and is naturally bulkier when compressed, however, it is surprising just how small you can compress it. Naturally, using a stuff sac works well in achieving maximum “stuffage’ alternatively the right hand pocket is designed to accommodate the jacket and also provide a convenient fleece lined pillow for hut trips.”

Off Piste Magazine Review – Trailbreaker Pant/

Off Piste Magazine reviews OR Trailbreaker Pant

Off Piste Magazine reviews OR Trailbreaker Pant:
“Although I’d still call the Trailbreaker a softshell pant, it is a hybrid with waterproof/breathable Ventia frabirc from the knee down and breathable stretch-woven softshell above the knee. The result is a lightweight, breathable ski pant with added snow protection below the knee. Despite the Trailbreaker’s relatively clean appearance, the pants are full of features including: removable mesh gaiters, long side vents, velcro-adjustable waist, knee pad slots and a dedicated beacon pocket with clip attachment. The bottom line is that the Trailbreaker is obviously designed with backcountry skiing in mind and is well suited to a wide range of ski conditions.”
