SuperStrand LT Hooded Jacket - Women's

Lightweight and warm

This a nice warm jacket that is really quite thin, however it keeps you nicely insulated against the cold. It packs into one of the pockets and seems to be wearing well. My only complaint is a general one - I wish I could get a size smaller but my hips are too big for that. After wearing this a bit longer, the zipper is weak sauce. It appears that its going to wear out long before the jacket is worn out. It definitely needs a heavier-duty zipper.

The Outdoor Research Women's SuperStrand LT Hoodie is a great jacket. It is packable, lightweight and warm. The unique filling really does help you stay warm when it's wet. The fit and color are as you would expect from OR.

Avoid

I bought this for my girlfriend, and we were disapointed. Poor quality product (or might be a control quality issue). We see through the jacket, very thin. We returned it.

Great jacket

Roomy, so one can wear a sweater underneath. Very lightweight in feel but keeps me warm. Didn't make any annoying noise when I walk. Glad I purchased it.

Great lightweight puffy

I love this puffy, it's a great light weight shoulder season coat. It's light and thin enough to layer under a shell for cold days too. And I get tons of compliments on the color. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the plastic zipper isn't that great.

Comfy and warm. Wanted something synthetic because I live in SE AK where it rains all the time

Best jacket ever!!! This is my go to for everyday life, backpacking, day hiking and worn under my ski jacket for extra warmth. I love this jacket. It’s lightweight, packs down small but it’s so warm. It’s made with quality products and holds up to most activities. It does shed some of material from inside like a down jacket but that’s not a big deal for me. The price is right especially if you’re on a budget. Great job OR, I own two and planning on another.

This jacket is super light and easy to pack and carry. I ordered the white one and the only con I would mention is that you can see the stuffing in the coat when you hold it up to the light. The white material looks a little see through in certain lighting. Would highly recommend other than that.

Avoid the yellow color

I returned this product before using it

Size Bought:

small

I bought this jacket for its features and color. When it arrived the jacket looked patchy or stained, almost. Looking closer, I saw the material was so thin I could see the gaps in the filling of the jackets. It might have been less noticeable with other color options, but the poor quality of fill made me question the jacket in general. I have other OR products that I love, and have bought from Backcountry before. I returned this jacket for a refund, which was a pretty easy process. This could have been a one-off experience for me, but it was a little disappointing coming from some brands I really support.

Well made and very light for the warmth. It isn't a winter coat, so keep that in mind. More of a great spring or fall weight puffy or layering piece.
