Outdoor Research Transcendent Down Hoodie Jacket for Women

1. Arm holes too small, cuts too close to armpit. 2. Waist tapers inwards too much for regular fit. This is lock step in the sizing chart ladies you better have a 28 inch waist the jacket needs to be more roomy in the middle shoulder and lats. And if I sized up, then length of sleeve might be too long and drag the dirt. 3. No drawstring for hood. Big hair ponytail people need drawstring on hood. Everything else, color, weight, Is good. Compared to this size small 2025 Transcendent jacket, I provided pictures with my 2010 model of the OR, lightweight down hooded zip up jacket. I am trying to replace it but maybe every new product is falling short. One can see the difference. Returning.

This is a really nice jacket. I bought it to take on a backpacking trip. It is light and packs fairly small. It does run large. I have another Outdoor Research jacket in small (my usual size) that is a little tight in the hips so I ordered a medium. I should have ordered the small to begin with. Unfortunately I had a coupon for 15% off and when I made the return and re-order I lost the coupon plus I had to pay for return shipping so I ended up paying more!

I really enjoy wearing this down hoodie. I'm 5'2", 130 pounds, and bought a medium. I prefer my gear not to be tight and this size works perfectly to pair it with a light fleece underneath (it pairs super well with the trail mix quarter zip). It keeps me warm on hikes in moderately cold temps like 0 to -10c if properly layering. It is so lightweight that I barely feel like I'm wearing anything, which is so lovely. I have very good range of motion and don't feel confined - it moves with my body nicely. I purchased the sunrise colour which is very attractive, but also helps keep me safer on hikes on crown land during hunting season. So far it has been durable with no rips and no leaking down. The pockets are a great size and I especially love the inner zipped chest pocket to keep my phone warm and safe. Overall, a wonderful lightweight down hoodie that packs down nicely!
