Outdoor Research Men's Marvel Windshirt Jacket

Great Light Weight Jacket/ Shirt
I got this for a lightweight hiking jacket for spring and fall. This is a great jacket. I am a little broad in the shoulders and could've gone up a size. But, overall this is a great shirt.

Great Jacket!!
This is my firt OR purchase. I bought it because of the great deal Altrec offered. I took a chance and it paid off. I love this windshirt. I use it mainly for running right now. With a Sporthill shirt and a Nike Cold Gear Shirt underneath, I can run in the low 30's temp. I hate the cold but with this nice jacket and the layering, I can keep warm. This jacket fits me nicely. I am 5'5" 130lbs. It's hard to find clothes that fit nicely. This jacket is a great fit!

Very impressive jacket.
It’s my first OR purchase and the quality of the product is outstanding. I see myself using it for general use, jogging and cross country skiing. It would have been nice if they added an inside pocket. Can’t wait to try it out jogging in the cold windy weather. Now that I received it and checked it out, I’m going to order another one for my son.

just a better jacket
So, I wanted the Marmot Driclime for a climbing trip I'm taking. When looking around I found this OR Jacket. The advantage of the Marvel over the Driclime is it's durability. The grey patches on the arm are a light weight scholler (or something like that)which will stand up to allot more then the standard ripstop. The Driclime also doesn't have hand pockets where as the Marvels has them and they're fleece lined. For the added 3oz weight you get allot for you money. In respinse to the 11-07-2007 review. Your a tool. The Driclime dows have a just pocket, but try useing it when your carring a back pack. Yes, a sleeve pocket isn't that usefull and really could be left off to help save weight. O and the driclime is now $110. CLIMB HARD land soft

Great looking, great fitting jacket.
I love the Marvel jacket.Super for running, hiking, biking activities. The fit is mostly O.K., a little tight under the arms for me but still a jacket I will use all the time.

Not much you can't do in it!
I have worn this jacket almost everyday since I got it (received in speedy fashion as well). The best test so far was a 17-mile trail run in the mid-20 degrees with 30 mph gusts; wore OR Marvel Windshirt over an Ibex Outback l/s shirt, and maintained a perfect temp and was protected from the wind. I wear it as an around-town, to work jacket as well. Many thanks to OR!

Great jacket for running
Very lightweight and great at blocking the wind. Ran on a 16 degree windy, winter night and was almost too warm with a long sleeve t-shirt underneath. The jacket is a great addition to any runners clothing collection.

Awesome jacket
WOW! Thats all I have to say about this jacket. I've never enjoyed running outdoors in cold weather more. By far my favorite piece of running clothing.

High quality, but too short.
I rate this jacket about 3.5. I bought this for jogging in colder temperatures. I usually wear a men's Large, but need a longer jacket because I am 6'2". so I ordered the XL so I'd have room for a couple of layers underneath and for the extra length. Unfortunately, I had to return the jacket because I found it to be too short, barely reaching my belt line. So, while it's a quality jacket, the length is only adequate if your are under 6'. For the money (close to $100) I don't think it is a good value.

Nice, but.....
On my first wearing of this jacket for running about 8 miles in about 20 degrees F and windy. The jacket was not breathable enough, and was wet inside, and it is a little bit too short, so the wind was blowing up the back of my shirt.

IT's GOOD
This is my 1st OR product. I satisfied this product but the size of that is little bit smaller than other company. Finally I returned this product and bought bigger size.

Marmot driclime seems better
I don't have the OR one, but I've owned the Marmot driclime for a year. I think it got a Backbacker award - that's how I found out about it. The Marmot looks similar, but I think it was only about $80, and the 3rd pocket is on the chest which is 100 times more useful. I can't stand arm pockets. Marmot also sells driclime pants.
