Great jacket for active wear !

If you are working hard this jacket will keep you warm and it breaths really good, no sweaty buildup on inside.

Men's Ferrosi Hooded Jacket
#250094
When a piece of gear has a cult-like following like the Ferrosi Hooded Jacket does, you don’t mess with it unless you can really justify it. So we kept everything everyone loves about our tough but breathable do-it-all lightweight weather-resistant soft shell, and added thumb loops and slightly changed the hybrid mapping on the wrists for a fresh look.

RATING AND REVIEWS
I highly recommend picking one up.
5
Great piece of gear. I am going to buy another next year and go up a size. I bought an XL and it would be snug if I layer anything under it. I am 6' 226lbs and most XL coats fit me. This is a more athletic fitting. With that said I love the jacket. I wore it on a trip this weekend into DC. I had a long sleeve shirt on underneath it and the temp was high 50s low 60 s when we left. The temp climbed throughout the day into the high 70s maybe 80s and I had to take it off. I was plenty comfortable with just the long sleeve on with the Ferrosi as an outer layer. Great Jacket highly recommend. It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."

Best softshell ever
5
Great to wear on its own with a merino underneath in warmer alpine temps or under a fully waterproof hardshell when the precipitation comes in. I have worn it almost everyday from snowmobiling to fishing in the columbia the past few weeks. This is the best softshell i own. Breathes way better than the Gamma LT

Nice jacket, works well just as described

I work at night doing wildlife surveys in the woods driving ATVs. I'm 6' 186lbs and the jacket fits well over a mid layer fleece and cuts the wind nicely to about 18 mph. So not as robust as a true hardshell but the breathiblity is excelllent. I often have to clear logs and brush out of the roads and the jacket keeps me warm without breaking a sweat and freezing plus the stretch fabric allows full range of motion. The tougher fabric on the shoulders and arms is a nice feature, wards off pulls and runs in the fabric from abuse on rocks or snagging on brush. The DWR treatment beads up fog and drizzle nicely.

This jacket is perfect for the uphill on backcountry ski tours. I wear a base layer with this jacket and it is perfect - it breathes and dumps excess heat while also providing protection from the wind and light snow or rain. This jacket is amazing!

Excellent all around lightweight jacket

I wear this jacket for high energy activities in cold dry weather. Breathes very well, lightweight, comfortable and very wind resistant. It has become an essential part of my layering system and when it is really cold I wear it under a hard shell for extra warmth and breathability at a very low weight. It looks good too, so I also wear it as a light jacket around town

I am on my third Ferossi Hoody and will get another after this one. Love this jacket for around town and fair weather days in the mountains.

Hi Hotzi, We'd recommend a Medium if you prefer your clothes to be fitted, it may be a little short in the sleeve, but it won't be as baggy compared to the Large. Thanks for contacting OR,

- I am looking for a jacket with maximum ventilation and breathable with water resistance for hiking and scrambling in the rain. Would the Ferrosi or Valley rain jacket be better for this? Or is there a different product you would recommend?
-
Robert

Hi Robert, The Valley Jacket will not provide the maximum ventilation and breathability due to the materials. However, the jacket is waterproof and it does feature dual separating, TorsoFlo zippers, which if you do get warm or start to sweat you can open up to ventilate. This jacket would be ideal if you plan on using the jacket in extended periods of rain. The Ferrosi Jacket is water-resistant and provides excellent ventilation and breathability, the material is also very soft and lightweight. However, it is not ideal for an extended time (scrambling) in the rain. If you need a water-resistant jacket with more warmth, the Ascendant Jacket is another option. The Polartec Alpha Direct material is a little bit more durable and burlier than the Alpha material so you may have direct-to-skin contact without a layer in between the fabric and skin. This allows and helps move more moisture to the surface of the fabric to wick away moisture. Thanks for contacting OR, Paul
- How should this jacket be washed/cleaned? Does it have a DWR coating that needs to be reapplied every once in a while? How should softshells be cared for in general?
-
Caleb

Hi Caleb, Sorry for the late response. The Men's Ferrosi Hooded Jacket do have a DWR coating that needs to be refreshed occasionally. We recommend either using a small amount of non-detergent soap (or technical wash), and following up with an extra rinse cycle and a low heat tumble dry cycle. We recommend using Nikwax Tech Wash and Softshell Proof, they sell it as a pack (Softshell DuoPack). Thanks for contacting OR, Paul
- Is the inside of the jacket lined? What is the texture?

The Ferrosi Hooded Jacket is not lined; the fabric feels the same on the outside as it does on the inside. It's a lightweight softshell fabric with a lot of stretch and breathability.
