Deviator Hoodie - Men's

This is my go to run around town jacket. The mapping for thermal properties is very well designed and makes this jacket comfortable in most conditions.

Great Cold Weather Running Jacket

I've used this jacket on longer runs in the temp ranges of 5° to 25° and it performs really well. No issues using it woth just a tee underneath. I like the material layout because it puts insulation where you need it. It has solid wind protection as well. I could see this piece used for hiking as well. For running, only issue I see is there isn't any reflective material for running in low light conditions, but isn't a show stopper.

Can you make this not smell terrible after one use

Love the deviator. It's a great layering piece and awesome for ski touring. The thing is that OR grid fleece smells TERRIBLE after only one brief use. Even wearing it around town it stinks after a few hours of wearing. Now, you may say, dudeman you are just a super smelly dude. And while I am a sweaty person, I wear my other layers for long sweaty backpacking trips or ski tours and they smell better at the end than the Deviator after some casual wear. Would be 5 stars if OR could figure this out.

Awesome winter training kit. Regularly run in the teens to 30s and this is perfect. Nice and soft too.

Great jacket!

I primarily use this jacket for nordic skiing and have found it to be the perfect lightweight layer for activities requiring high exertion.

Great jacket, but I returned it

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

Size Bought:

na

but I returned it...because I need a rip-stop nylon material as I regularly hike through areas with burrs.. Rip Cockle-burrs do not stick to rip-stop.

Extremely Light Weight and Warm

It is a great jacket to have at all times. Perfect in a city environment going in and out of buildings all day. Also works great for camping or hiking as you don't get too hot while moving around in it. If you're sitting still would want to layer it up with something else as well.

Nice piece, weird fit

Size Bought:

Nice piece, weird fit (for me). I am 5'11, 165 lb. and the medium is too tight in the chest, too short in the arms, and too short in the waist. Not even close. Returned, bummer.

Seriously great jacket

I love this jacket. I live in Colorado and bought it for cold weather running and it’s been great. Warm and still breathes well. I’ve worn it with a warm base layer as cold as 10F and been comfortable running. Very comfortable too. My only complaint is that the sleeves are a little long.

Solid Cold Weather Hoodie

The Outdoor Research Deviator Hoodie exceeded expectations during my recent 6-mile run in 24-degree Fahrenheit weather. Despite the cold, the hoodie, paired with a single polyester t-shirt, kept me comfortably warm throughout the run. The fabric's ability to regulate temperature was impressive, as I noticed a slight chill when pausing for photos but quickly warmed up again once I resumed movement. The hoodie's design also proved practical, with a spacious chest pocket securely holding my Samsung S22 Ultra and deep lower pockets providing warmth for my hands. The medium size fit perfectly, ensuring optimal comfort and performance. For those who tend to run warm, the Deviator Hoodie is an excellent choice for cold-weather activities, offering a balance of warmth and breathability without feeling bulky or restrictive. I found the combination of hood and beanie to be excessive once I fully warmed up. However, the hood itself is well-designed and provides a snug, comfortable fit without restricting movement or vision. For those seeking a versatile and well-fitting hoodie for cold-weather activities, the Deviator Hoodie is a solid choice. Reference: 5'6, 175, Chest roughly 38" , size: M
