Great Stuff.
Bought this Credo soft-shell to layer (if needed) under an O.R. Elixir shell. These jackets replace another layering "system". I choose a softshell which won't hold onto pet hair like fleece does. This material is soft and flexible. Generous sizing of sleeves with OR jackets allow you to be active (snowboarding, camping, rock climbing, biking)which is a huge a huge plus! A great quality jacket with soft, warm, micro-feece lining and hand warming pockets. The water-resistant (I think they're probably waterproof) zips look great and actually work! All-in-all, a great soft-shell when used alone or layered. It can easily be worn around town without making you look like you're going on an expedition. Don't get me wrong, O.R. products are made for the outdoors. My only gripe is that the lower torso has an athletic fit. I'm 6'3" and not heavy. The waist is snug, but the rest is roomy enough. This isn't enough to knock it to a four, and actually works out when you want to layer it under a shell. Overall, I'm very happy...technical jacket with many great features. I will definitely try other O.R. products.

Durable, great fit (especially for tall people), excellent price

Rating:****
Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this jacket. The fit for people who are taller or have a longer torso is excellent. I have normally found it hard to find jackets that don't expose my midsection when I raise my arms overhead (i.e. placing gear or ice tools). So this jacket has been a treat in that regard. So far in a few outings rock climbing it has held up well. It seems to be quite durable and abrasion resistant. It's warm, wind-resistant and has held up well in heavy rain--water still beads on the surface of the jacket. Not sure how that will hold up after several washings. The only thing i really don't like about this jacket is the mesh-lined hand pockets, i find these aren't as durable as a fleece-lined pocket. Also, it would be nice if the hand pockets were slightly higher on the jacket as they are partially blocked by a climbing harness.

"this jacket is about as hot as Ron Jeremy."

Rating:*****
This jacket is legit. It keeps you really warm, has tons of places to stash your Moosejaw schwag, and is water resistant. Unfortunately, in a downpour, the jacket will eventually begin to absorb water, but for your run of the mill dash in the rain, it's great. The tricot collar is great on the neck. The zippers on all the exterior pockets are water resistant as well. Solid construction, solid buy.

Great Jacket!

Rating:*****
Very good feel to the jacket. Haven't worn it in the rain yet but blocks wind very well. Runs a little big though. I usually wear an XL in other soft shells but I had to send this one back and get a Large. Return was fast and easy. Hope this is helpful.
