Transcendent Down Hoodie - Men's

I didn't know the perfect down jacket existed.

This is my favorite jacket. I have owned plenty of down and insulated jackets and this one is the best! It's light and warm, but also pretty solid looking on and off the trail. I was a little concerned that the hood did not have any adjustments, but it will contour to your head and provide so much warmth. This is definitely a jacket that I would wear in 15 degrees but maybe not lower without some layers over top to help keep the heat in. It's the perfect jacket.

Go a size bigger.

Light. Packable. Warm. I picked the size based on their chart but wish I got a size bigger. Just a little tighter fit than I expected.

Lower quality than previous version?

In my opinion, much lower quality than the older version of this jacket. For example, the loft on this version is much less, even though it has the same rating, the shell on the new one is much thinner and less durable and less waterproof than the previous version, Also the older version of this jacket had embroidery on the tag and on the logos, the new one is all iron on ….

Poor fabric quality

I have had this jacket for less than 2 months and I can say the fabric quality is very poor. The jacket has developed significant stains under the arms even though it was never used during a high exertion activity (I've never sweated in it). I only wear this jacket around town. Overall I'm disappointed considering the price of this jacket and the short time I've owned it. I have filed a claim with Outdoor Research and am pending a response.

Very warm, lackluster durability

I've had the jacket for a month now. It's very warm(20 Degrees feels pretty good with a tshirt underneath) and the material feels nice, however I've experienced a lot of shedding with the down, especially through the seams. I know it is normal to some extent but but it seems excessive so far. If it continues I will probably reach out to CS.

OR Transcendent hoodie

Extremely comfortable and warm, a great fit! Prefer this over other big name brands.

Great all around jacket for cold weather.

I live in New England where the temperatures vary widely day to day. This jacket is light and warm and moves with you. Warm enough for a walk in the brisk windy weather but not too hot to wea running errands. It has quickly become my favorite jacket!

Light and warm

This jacket is a lot warmer than what I expected when it arrived. Probably weight the same as a slice of pizza but does the job. I tried it out at 20 degrees with a light long sleeve running shirt and had no issues.

I’ve been pleased with this jacket so far. I initially purchased this as a good packable option for hiking or camping, but it had already become a daily wear for me. I received this during a Minnesota winter that routinely gets to single digits or negative and it’s kept me warmer than my typical coat. Very lightweight

Perfect Versatile Jacket

Perfect for the versatile puffer. I have worn it as a coat for those 40-50 degree days as well as a insulated mid layer when summiting New Hampshire 4000k mountains where the wind gets the temp into the negatives. Liked the jacket so much that I got my wife and parents one as well! Probably will end up getting myself another! A must have piece in my opinion.
