Apollo Jacket - Men's

Great and affordable jacket.

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I’m very impressed with the availability breathability, features and lightweight of this excellent jacket. A very good value for the money the fit is perfect and I love mints, and Velcro sleeve closures.

Outstanding jacket for both wet and dry conditions

I bought this jacket to replace an old OR rain jacket and was worried that this new version wouldn't compare. I was wrong....have used it in several thunder storms already as well as to protect from strong winds and it worked great. Still love that it's fully packable into one of the pockets!

Kept dry but a bit stiff

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Bought for running. Feels stiff but may loosen up over time

Well made, Great value, compact and lightweight

I love the color combination, looks great equally in town as on the trail. Well made, comfortable, weather tight, yet light and pack-able. I hope it gives me many years of service. Good value for the money.

Really good rain jacket for the price

Purchased this rain jacket as a father's day gift for my dad and it fits him extremely well, repels water well, and looks good. I would purchase again for myself if I didn't already have a Gore-Tex jacket.

Excellent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a comfortable and well-featured rain jacket that can serve double duty as a winter shell. It is well featured with all of the capabilities that you'd expect in a technical shell, but at a fraction of the price because it uses OR's proprietary breathable layer and not more expensive Gore-tex. In my opinion Outdoor Research makes the best hiking rain gear in my experience and the Apollo Jacket is another great product!

One of the best out there in this class

This is a light weight rain and windproof jacket. The pockets are placed well and are actually useful, hood is nicely adjustable and fits well if you want to wear a fleece or something thicker underneath. Perfect for everyday use or summer hikes in the mountains if the weather is iffy.

trash product with cheap liner

cheap trash - the liner rips if you wear a watch, or a backpack, or put anything in the pockets. horrible product not worth half the price

A solid jacket for the price

I work outside in heavy rain and this has kept my under layers dry in some downpours. It's definitely the best jacket in this price range as far as protection from rain that I've tried. It definitely isn't super breathable so it's not ideal when you're working hard or if it's warm outside but it has vents that help if you get to hot which I like. Most important it stops long periods of heavy rain for a good price.

Great rain jacket

Well made, I hardly know I am wearing it, great rain protection, looks great.
