Review on Outdoor Research Womens Illuminate Hoody by Edgardo Ennis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not the quality I expected from Outdoor Research

I bought this jacket for winter hiking and snowshoeing and was very disappointed with the quality. Not what I would have expected from an OP. I noticed that my backpack was lined with fabric (this is a backpack I've had and used for years and have never had problems with holes in anything, including a down jacket I bought from Costco. In the second photo, the backpack and as you can see there is nothing to wash the fabric) in the back area of the jacket. I'm going to fix the damage with the down jacket repair kit we have and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this jacket. I guess it can live in my backpack as my emergency down jacket. Very disappointing, I expected more from OR. One wonders if it is a fake.
