Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Verismo Hooded Jacket

Purchased this jacket for a bit more layers while out hiking, but given it is still winter I have not yet had an opportunity to put this jacket to the test, however, I purchased it in -20 weather and have taken it out for a test. I think this was the perfect purchase for what I am looking for. It packs down very easily and has a comfortable and flattering fit for a puffy jacket. it is a bit thinner than expected but I don't think that has any impact on warmth of the jacket. if you have wider shoulders/arms this is a great jacket. I sometimes struggle with those areas fitting a bit tighter than i would like but this jacket is perfect!

Living north of the 60th parallel comes with its challenges. Our winters are dark, long and very cold. on warm day we get -20 weather, but on avg our winter temps are below -40. that being said, this puffy is my go to puffy. up until -30 I was walking to work with just a t-shirt underneath the puffy, and was still finding it to warm. now that temps are consistently below -40 I find myself needing a long sleeved shirt on some of the cooler days, but still find myself very comfortable with this puffy on my walks to and from work. this puffy is also my go to puffy when I'm layering for long trips on the snowmobile. since snowmobile is our main source of transportation during the winter, I have to be able to layer with out getting to bulky but still staying warm with the winds getting the temps down to below -60 most days during rides. for layering I wear a base layer long john type shirt, with a light sweater, then my puffy, and then my storm bound winter jacket, and I am never cold. I also use this puffy as my main coat when I'm winter camping and need to run outside to grab/cut wood for the stove. its a quick, light easy puffy to just throw on, and I know it will keep me warm to do chores outside. I love this puffy and highly recommend it.

Nice mid layer or on its own

I haven't tried in the cold yet as it's summer

Love this jacket. It fits great (snug like I wanted it). The colour is very pretty, I have gotten lots of compliments. Feathers do come out but I would so not as much as some people have indicated in the reviews. A lot of down products do this and I think it is already loosing a lot less than it did when I first got it. The jacket is light weight and fits nicely underneath my shell as a mid layer. I also wore it spring skiing and it worked great.

I bought this for my adult daughter - 5'2" 100 lbs and the xs fits her great. The Aria down jacket xs is large on her. It is light and comfortable and the blue color looks really cute on her. I like the stitch pattern direction change that breaks up the pattern and give it a nice look.

I am typically a small but purchased the medium because with other brands the small tends to be too tight in the shoulders and short on the arms. This jacket fits me great without being too bulky in the midsection. I love how light it is, yet remains insulative.

Nice jacket bit too short small but for outdoor sports its awsome with a small layer underneath

Bought this as a present for my wife and she loves it. Fits great, works as an outer jacket and works great as a layer, looks like a million bucks.

I use this jacket for around town, biking to work, going for hikes, etc. It is my new favourite jacket. It's lightweight and the colour selections are great. I am 5'7, 134 lbs, 30'' waist, 35'' chest and the size medium was a good fit. I would not go any smaller as the chest would be too tight. Sleeves are nice and long as well the torso length is perfect. It has the right amount of pockets including inside pockets which is always handy.

This is a slim fitting jacket that shows off your waist and is more feminine than most.

I searched for a super lightweight hooded jacket. This is my fave! It totes easily, it is warm enough for PNW winters & I adore the hood.

This jacket is great for cool days. Fits great and sleeves are long enough (I usually have trouble finding long enough sleeves). Very lightweight and doesn't look bulky, and great for layering.

I took this jacket with me on a multi day backpacking / snowshoeing trip in Tahoe. It was exactly what I needed - light in weight, just the right amount of warmth right before I get moving, and easy to take on and off. Plus, I've gotten so many compliments on how well the jacket fits, even while there's enough space to fit another fleece layer underneath.

Love the fit the arms are perfect it make the jacket feel warmer love the fit and arm length. It's warm esp if active. But lighter weight. It's for cool not freezing cold days.

OR has mastered the flattering women's lightweight puff jacket for fit, style and functionality. This jacket is beautiful and great for hiking, office and heading out for happy hour in a dress.

I like the look and features of this jacket. It is not as boxey as other similar type jackets.

This hoodie has a great shape, very fitted in waist--but it was a bit restrictive. I would say order a size up, especially if you like to layer

It does lose feathers as previous reviews stated but I'm not sure whether that will continue as I've only been wearing it for a couple of weeks, I am not too bothered as I got this on sale but would have been disappointed if I'd paid full price as it was quite expensive. It is on the too small side of trim fit, I can't fit much underneath for layering but the next size up was enormous on me!

I love this jacket. I needed something to keep me warm in the chill of Coastal SF and at work on the water's edge. It does a good job of protecting me in chilly winds and overall low temperatures (49-63 degrees F). The biggest down side that made me consider returning this item several times was the amount of feathers that leak out. Granted this is my first experience with down, but I'm worried that over time loss of feathers will decrease the jacket's ability to keep me warm. I'd appreciate any advice about this.

The jacket looks great, is super lightweight and warm but it fits very small. I am a medium and couldn't do this one up. My friend who wears a small found it too small in the shoulders. Size up at least one size if buying this jacket. It does look great on once you get the right size.

I ordered the jacket in small but it was too small. I am a small in most products. I am 5'6 and 125lbs. The jacket fit snug around the armholes. I like to put a layer under my jacket put it made it too tight under the arm pits. I loved the color. I may have to go to the OR store to make sure I get the right fit, I need to try the medium.

It is very lightweight but quite warm. Bought one size up for layering, good fit. One incident on the first day, helping my daughter put on her hockey helmet, the metal face cage was against my chest and somehow pinched a tiny hole! The fabric seems not very tough.

I was so excited to get this jacket but... I normally wear a size 8-10 so a medium usually works for me, but this jacket fit very tightly around the hips. It would be difficult to wear a thicker top underneath it. The flame color is not red as it appears in the picture, it is BRIGHT orange/pink, not the color I was expecting. It's a beautiful jacket but not the fit and color I wanted.

I wear this to walk and bike to work every morning, and for fall adventures in the boat and out hiking. It so warm and comfortable and can handle a light rain. Super windproof on my bikes home which makes it a more pleasant jaunt for me. Gets too warm if I'm peddling hard. Will always keep one of these on-hand and packs down small so will be easy to do. My only complaint is that I've worn it so much I can smell the sweat build-up!
