Outdoor Research Transcendent Hooded Down Jacket – Men’s

User Reviews

• An adjustable hood allows you to keep out more cold air.
• While it doesn’t compress super tight, it does stuff nicely into its own pocket.
• Style that can go from the backcountry to downtown.
• Outdoor Research fit is true to size, and this jacket has just enough room for layers underneath without being baggy.
• Pockets! Between two external hand pockets, an outer chest pocket with its own internal pocket, and two large dump pockets on the inside, this jacket has you covered.
• Wide variety of color options.

Expert Reviews

• Nice construction and a pocket that turns into the jacket’s stuff-sack makes this jacket easy to fit in your pack.
• Lots of pockets!
• Great price-point for a down jacket which allows you to use the jacket without being paranoid about damaging it.
• Sustainably-obtained down.
• Cinchable openings and large baffles help maintain your warmth.

User Reviews

• Larger baffles add warmth, but make this jacket extra puffy and hard to be anything but a top layer.
• The relatively lightweight construction of this puffy jacket sacrifices durability, as the outer layer can be prone to rips in rough terrain.
• For thinner individuals, this jacket may not fit as preferred since this jacket maintains the same shape throughout the chest and waist area.

Expert Reviews

• The 650-fill down lofts more in wider baffles, keeping it from being ultralight and ultra-compressible for pack storage.
• The 650-fill down gives this jacket its great price-point, but not the best warmth. (Competitive jackets have higher quality down, but at a higher price point, of course.)
