Why We Like The Aspire Jacket
Light on weight, completely waterproof, and perfectly packable, the Outdoor Research Aspire Jacket shows us there's no reason not to toss it into our pack for any and all adventures. We love its breathable and easy-to-vent weather protection on backcountry ski adventures, extended backpacking treks, and long multi-pitch climbs alike. Designed with GORE-TEX Paclite technology, this lightweight shell delivers total waterproof protection without the bulk, and now features a more environmentally friendly DWR (Durable Water Repellent) that's free of PFCs.

Loving this jacket! It's very lightweight despite having full side zips, which I enjoy utilizing when I'm wearing a pack in the rain. The jacket does a great job of repelling rain for hours and is breathable and packable for adventures and racing.

This is my second OR raincoat and I keep recommending them to people I know. The first one lasted ~3 years and would've lasted longer if it hadn't been punctured by basaltic rock fragments while hiking volcano osorno! I've been known to rip through raincoats and hike in torrential downpours so this is an essential piece of gear for me. This one is holding up just as well as the first!

This jacket survived multiple days in the Costa Rican rainforest and kept my wife dry the entire time . Would repurchase in a heartbeat!

Compact waterproof jacket
Recently bought this jacket as a light rain stopper for warm ski days and cool, wet hiking days. The jacket is light and packs down small. I like the full length side zips for good ventilation. My main complaint so far is the zipper tends to catch when trying to zip it up and you need to hold the zipper straight to zip it up fully.

Size Up!!!
The only reason this jacket has 4 stars is because of it running small! I love this jacket. I had read reviews before and luckily I took the advice of sizing up! Great water repellent and light jacket. I have used this jacket for trail running and just general wear around town. It fits easily into my running vest when I no longer need it during my adventures.

Light and waterproof. Haven’t tested it extensively in heavy rain but biking around town it’s fantastic and packs down easily when I’m not wearing it.

I work outdoors, and this has been so nice to wear in the rain! I love that I don't have to worry about rain leaking in and getting wet, and now it makes me want to go play outside in the rain just to wear it.

I really love my Aspire II Jacket! I live in Portland, OR, so this jacket is my constant companion on most activities (walks, hikes, errands, etc.). So far it's keeping me very dry. I love the side zipper pockets for ventilation and the bright, ultramarine color. One note, though: It does fit a bit tighter around the hips/waist than some other shirts and jackets I own, but overall, I like the fit.

Not the usual OR quality
The item is certainly above par for a rain jacket but doesn’t hold up to the OR name. It simply doesn’t feel as good as other comparable OR products. The jacket ran considerably small for rain jacket, and the seems were not bound as much as one would have hoped. The material itself and zipper were all high quality. Not upset with this, but a little disappointed.
