Sometimes, what we hope will just be a passing shower turns into an hours-long downpour. And while there are super-ultra-light rain shells out there that pack down to the size of an apple and will serve you well for a little while, it's nice to have more substantial protection for all-day wet-weather comfort. That's why the Outdoor Research Foray Jacket is cut with a relaxed fit and a big hood - so you can really shelter in it. Made out of 2.5-layer GORE-TEX® fabric, the Foray is totally waterproof and rugged enough to withstand the rigors of bushwhacking, but still light enough to easily stuff in a backpack when the weather clears. The TorsoFlo™ side zippers are unique to Outdoor Research shells, and provide hem-to-bicep ventilation that lets you drape the front of the jacket over a backpack hipbelt for poncho-like ventilation on hot summer days.

Burly enough for backcountry skiing yet light and packable enough for multi-day treks, the Outdoor Research Men's Foray Jacket keeps you sheltered when the weather turns wet and stormy. Gore-Tex 2-layer shell fabric lends guaranteed waterproof and breathable protection while the TorsoFlo hem-to-bicep zippers allow you to vent out poncho-style on steep sections of trail. Plus, the entire jacket can be stuffed into its own front pocket, so you'll always have space to bring it along.
Nobody likes the prospect of a rainy trip, but let's face it: they happen. And when the rain starts coming down for hours at a time, you might start to feel that the razor-thin, super-small, ultra-light rain jacket that was so comfortable in your pack might not offer the kind of protection you're starting to yearn for. That isn't to say that it's not waterproof - rather, just that you might want some room to layer up, to store items, to pull your hands into your sleeves and out of the rain. The Outdoor Research Foray is a slightly relaxed-fitting jacket that you can really take shelter in during a long rainstorm, and still pack it away afterward thanks to its GORE-TEX Paclite fabric.
With an average weight of 435 grams (15.4 oz), the Foray may weigh a little bit more than those eight-ounce ultralight pieces, but that weight pays dividends in comfort. In addition to its roomy fit, the Foray features OR's signature hem-to-bicep TorsoFlo pit zips, which allow you to wear the jacket more like a poncho (and over a backpack hipbelt) for plenty of airflow on steamy summer days.
Features:
The Men's Foray Jacket by Outdoor Research. This lightweight shell with all-season features provides solid protection when a hard downpour sets in for the long haul.

With no bells or whistles left out, this jacket works as hard as you do but packs down tight once the weather breaks.

Worth it. Bombproof.
I live in an area where the weather and temperature is always changing. This jacket accommodates it all with the proper measures underneath.
Waterproof, wind cutting, good length to the arms, adjustable hood with brim large enough but not comically large, zippers and pockets in the right places with good construction.
It also has full zip-up sides as opposed to just pit-zips, which is a great move. At first I didn't realize the genius here, but it enables you to wear it like a poncho with a small pack underneath.
The sizing seems just right. When its not warm and raining, I'll layer a fleece on top of a base layer or two under the jacket and have decent room left over for free range of motion. It insulates a tiny bit, but should not be worn for insulation purposes. This is a shell.
Some say this jacket is loud because of the fabric, but I never thought so. Its not as quiet as a soft shell, sure, but this is not a soft shell.
Hand pockets are positioned above where your pack's hip belt would clip, so kudos for that placements. There is also an external chest pocket that is not there for bringing in circulation -- which is good -- no need to worry about tearing any mesh. In fact, there is no mesh in this jacket. It does not need any and I appreciate that.
OR just knows what is up. I give them props. Use this jacket in a thoughtful way and you will bring it everywhere for your adventures -- business or pleasure.
I have the older version of the Foray that is gore tex paclite. I love this shell. $90 on SaC for a sub 1 lb. gore tex shell is tough to beat. I am 6' 175 lbs. with broad shoulders and I got the Large. It is baggy for sure, but I live in Denver so I use it in the winter a lot and it allows lots of room for layering. I wear a Patagonia down sweater under it and I still have baggy armpits. Looks like they made the hood bigger this year to accommodate helmets, but I wouldn't choose this thin shell for activities that require helmets as you are likely going to rip the lightweight material. I have been very careful with it since it is a thin material, but so far- no issues. Love the poncho style vents for backpacking in the summer. If I could afford it, I would spend more for a more breathable shell for backpacking, but I am very satisfied with the year round performance of this bargain gore tex shell.
Most bang for your buck
Light enough, but maybe not tough enough, to go anywhere.
Dry and Windproof, isn't that the point of buying a rain jacket.
This shell does everything it says, and is a great cut for wearing to class or on the mountain.
Best shell you can get, only you'll need
It's an always reliable only shell you need, durable, and worth every penny. I've already recommended it to friends!
