Refuge Hooded Jacket

The Refuge Hooded Jacket is back, and as its name implies it's ready and willing to give you  shelter from the storm. Taking advantage of Outdoor Research's uniquely stretchy and resilient VerticalX insulation, which offers warmth that is more akin to a 700-fill down than most other commonly used synthetic fills, this jacket provides warmth and performance mobility even in wet weather. Outdoor Research also added ActiveTemp, a thermo-regulating technology that adjusts to ensure your microclimate stays cool and dry during high-exertion activities.


The stretch from the VerticalX is highly appreciated whether you're climbing in cooler conditions, skiing on fresh powder days, or making your way up to a remote mountain lake in late fall. The water resistant face fabric keeps you dry in light moisture and the brushed tricot interior keeps you extra cozy warm when the temperatures really start to drop. When your adventures are over—or things simply warm up—the jacket packs into its own pocket for easy carry, complete with its own carabiner loop for clipping to pack or harness.

Best Jacket Ever!

I absolutely love this jacket! The fit is great and it's not too bulky but is really warm. It's also versatile enough for days when it isn't too cold. Definitely my favorite jacket!

Technical

5 stars for function: stretchy, seems breathable. It seems great for climbing, biking, hiking, whatever active pursuits you enjoy. I'm 5'4", 135 lbs, athletic build, between small and medium sizes. Medium fit great with room for layering. However, I returned it. It's just not flattering.

Best all purpose jacket ever

I got this jacket as I was about to go on the trip of my life to Europe and did not know what the coastal weather would dish out. This jacket saved me from freezing in early spring blustery weather, and is the greatest layering piece I have ever had. Without this jacket I would have been in misery. It is very light, easy to pack. lots of zippered pockets and does not make you look fat, if you are not into the puffed out puffy jacket look! I got a size larger than my actual measurements due to wanting to be able to fit in layers, I love this jacket! My best purchase ever. Delivery was uber fast too.

Awesome, warm synthetic jacket.

I bought this jacket to replace my older light weight synthetic fill and down fill jackets, and it is warmer than both ever were. I'm very satisfied with this jacket's warmth and comfort. The hood is awesome in that it is very adjustable.

Giant pockets!

Great jacket. Giant pockets, big enough to comfortably wear over other layers, and water resistant coating. I also liked the hood design and small details that, overall, make this coat one of my favorite gear items. Wear it almost everyday living in Southeast Alaska.

I like it - wanted to love it

It's a warm jacket but the fit is off. I read the warnings about it having short arms - definitely listen to that. They are short and leave my wrists exposed. Def wouldn't cut it climbing. The torso is OK length but a bit baggy around the waste. Plus side is there is plenty of room for layering, it cuts the wind nicely and performs well in light snow.

Fit was the biggest issue, quality was there.

Great product, only thing my wife did not like was fit. Has all her jackets from OR and this jacket is to flared, not as form fitting as the rest. I had to return jacket, will need to look for one that has all these features with a better snug fit.

Great warm synthetic jacket

I love this jacket! It's warm, breathable, fits great, has useful pockets, and big enough hood to fit over my climbing helmet. It's my go to jacket for PNW winters, as I don't need to worry about it getting a little damp (since its synthetic). Would definitely purchase again.

This thing works

I found this jacket to be warmer than the Transcendent Down. It dumps heat when needed, as advertised. I don't know how it works, but it does. Roomy chest for layering, but the shoulders still fit. Love the length. Size chart is accurate.

Amazing for climbing

I used this jacket while rock climbing multi pitches in the winter in Colorado, and it performed amazingly. The material is super abrasion resistant, I even crack climb with it and it's not showing any wear yet even after several multi pitches of shoving arms into the crack. It snowed during a 5 pitch and while I couldn't feel my feet or hands, my body was warm in this thing! I love it!
