Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Apollo Jacket

Nice rain jacket that does have some form to it not like your typical Frumpy rain jacket. Fits well in the the length and arms-seeing I have long arms was worried it would be too short but fits perfectly.

I've used this coat in the rain and snow and overall it's done a pretty good job. The pit zips are also nice to have when it gets warm. The arms are also long enough to use while cycling. I'm about 5'11" 165lbs and the medium fits well, I can wear a vest or light puffy under the coat. If I lived in a cooler climate, I'd definitely get a size up, so there would be more space for layers!

Very nice and light weight and packable.

pretty standard rain jacket. I like the color combos available though.

It runs long, otherwise it's nice

Great materials, robust but not overly heavy

Great rain jacket. Excellent fit. Small nit pick on the pockets. Do not keep your iPhone in them as it's a guaranteed "fall out"situation. Otherwise great.

Great for when I need a jacket for damp or rainy weather but not real cold.

Arms are insanely long. Seems like proportions are very off.

I wanted to love this jacket but who are they sizing for? I ordered an XL, thinking I would give myself a little extra room to wear a sweater or something bulky underneath. The jacket arrived and it is like a tent. Huge through the shoulders and gaping on the sides. The Rock could wear this jacket and have some wiggle room. sending it back. waaaayyy too big.

Bought this jacket for commuting by bike, at the beginning I loved it but the double layer started peeling off after only a couple of months. Very disappointed!

I wish I had scrolled all the way to the last review, which mentions long sleeves! When I hold my hands out to the side in this, my hands disappear entirely. Meanwhile, the upper arms are loose to the point of puffiness, but I can barely get it zipped at the bottom.

This is cut very straight. But if I had sized up it would have been too baggy on top. Also, return shipping is not free so I ended up paying $16 for no merch.

Colours are nice and it seems to hold up relatively well in the rain so far. Unfortunately, size down. I Ordered a size small but the coat is massive (it can fit two hoodies underneath). Also a bit unfortunate that I have to pay for returns..so factor that in when placing your order

Purchased one for my daughter, she went to backpacking trip in Iceland recently. First day was rainy, Apollo jacket held the water for two hours, after that she was wet. Her boyfriend had the same model (Apollo rain jacket for men), same story. So it seems to be OK for a small rain, but doesn't work for a whole day under the rain. Too bad, we always liked OR gear...

I wore this jacket for 1 year and early on the lining started to tear. Even patching it didn't help. Then it started leaking where the lining had deteriorated (shoulders & across the back). All the other positive qualities of this jacket are undermined when the lining fails. It ceases to be a rain jacket. I took great care of it, and used it for hour long walks in the woods a few times a week. I'm disappointed to report this as all other OR products I have purchased have been top quality.

Sadly I had to send it back. The fit was way off. I have long arms to start with and even with that the sleeves hung below my hands. Also the waist was off too. I am a average build and could barely get the zipper to go around my torso. If they are all cut like mine I wonder why they went to sell them in the first place. Granted my money was refunded but I was out the $7 to ship it back.
