Reviews & Ratings for Outdoor Research Refuge Hybrid Hooded Jacket - Women's — 2 reviews — Page 1

I've been searching for the perfect outer layer for running in chilly weather and this is it. I warm up quickly in this jacket with a Woolpower zip mid-layer underneath and additionally love the style and how lightweight it is. Wore it in light rain already and it kept me dry. Small complaint that I saw in another review is that the hood does tend to sink down over the forehead and I may have to find a way to pinch it a tiny bit in the back to lift up the front for better visibility. The pockets also have huge openings, which means if I'm walking and want to stick my hands in there for warmth, there's a gap above my wrists. I'm more of a cozy pocket person as opposed to a thin, ventilating pocket person. Regardless, it still gets five stars for overall performance and style. I'm sure it will work great for hiking with a backpack as well, given the streamlined fit up top. I'm usually a Medium in tops, but my hips are a Large so I typically size up with OR, and occasionally risk the shoulders being way too big. These fit great!

Great versatile piece that you can layer on a cold day or wear stand alone when it's not too cold. Protects the torso real well and it's thinner along the arms where you don't need that much protection. Well made and good quality fabrics. Definitely recommended as a versatile piece. She's 5'6" 126 lbs. and Small fits perfect.
