Foray 3L Jacket - Men's

The best all around rain jacket in the world

I wear this jacket for everything - hiking, around town, commuting. The zip system is amazing in terms of letting me vent as much as I need on wet but hot/humid days, as well as drape the jacket over a medium sized backpack when commuting to keep it dry

Good quality and nice looking jacket. Has not been tested in heavy rain but no problem so far in light rain conditions.

It keeps you dry !

Finally... A jacket that does what it says its going to do - so happy I purchased this. Excellent rain protection I experienced over 2 hours in medium rain on walk. No wet out, no leakage - water just ran off and kept me dry the whole time. Highly recommend this jacket for sure !

Fantastic.

The new 3L Fabric is a huge improvement over the older Foray, it's robust, has just enough stretch, and overall is impressive. I was somewhat hesitant as they moved away from Gore but seeing it in person I am 100 percent a fan and it's better in every way. The only improvement, and OR please make this happen, is the branding. Make a Blacked out version without the contrasting logos, that would put this jacket as the best among the best.

WATERPROOF PERFORMANCE FROM MAINE TO COSTA RICA

I needed a jacket that would perform in a variety of extreme environments when going inside was not an option. This jacket filled this role perfectly and has kept me dry while exploring the north Maine Woods more recently while hiking through the cloud rain forest in Costa Rica. On a cool rainy day, you can keep warm with all the vents closed and a puffy underneath. While in warmer humid weather, just open the massive vents on the sides and keep dry while still being able to "breath" and stop sweat from soaking you from the inside out. It is very weight efficient, easily packed, and well cut for the active user. The chest pocket is also a favorite feature of mine to safely store a cell phone while on the move yet keeping it easily accessible.

Great mid weight jacket with a wide range of uses. Hiking, spring skiing, mountaineering. OR makes great products and this jacket is no different

Great for running and as a top layer

I’ve used this several times as a top layer on cold rainy days as well as a top waterproof layer on cold and wet walks. While it doesn’t provide much warmth itself I bought it a size up (XL) so that u could properly layer beneath it. Layering with this jacket is assisted by the zippers on the sides which go all the way up to the armpit, therefore if you get to hot you can easily dump heat and regulate temps. What I found during my runs is that I moves well with the body, I did not have any complaints about restriction I felt I could run and even sprint without worry.

Great jacket

I was looking for a rain jacket that breathes and that I could also wear in light snow with a layer or two. I had a lighter rain jacket that was more packable but it was a sweat box The side zips also sold me. I’ve worn this in a mix of weather and could not be happier.

Great buy, dry and comfy

I bought this as a replacement for a 13 year old Outdoor Research rain jacket and it’s a great upgrade. Took it out on a rainy windy PNW hike and stayed dry and warm. The 3 later design feels much nicer and meant it was very breathable even with the rain protection.
