At the end of a long, exhausting, and exhilarating day of travel through snowy backcountry, nothing feels better than settling into camp by pulling on warm dry socks and a warm puffy down jacket; lofty 650+ down fills the Women's Outdoor Research Virtuoso Jacket keeping you warm in even the most frozen conditions. With a fully insulated hood, drawcord at the hem and elastic wrists with hook and loop tabs, warmth stays at your core and not a breath of cold is let in. If a sudden drizzle falls, water-resistant fabric keeps you dry when there are many peaks and ridges between you and the trailhead.

Love this jacket
I have several Outdoor Research down jackets. They all are extremely warm and very well designed. I have only had this jacket for several days but it is very comfortable and the hood fits well and looks ok even over a hat. The Outdoor Research down jackets hold up well even though I really abuse them wearing them in rain and snow every day at my stable where horses are slobbering and nibbling them all the time and they are continually getting snagged on wood. However, I find the zippers wear out quickly and I need to have them replaced every year. This jacket's zipper is difficult right from day one & I am assuming it will need replacing as well. I still love the jacket anyway.

Great Base Camp Jacket
This is a great jacket for cold weather/winter camping. It is very warm and it fits nicely without too much bulk. It folds up pretty small into one of its pockets, making it easy to bring along for the top of a cold summit. For the high quality of the jacket the price isn't bad. It fits about true to size. I've been quite happy with all the Outdoor Research gear I've bought. I would highly recommend this jacket for anyone planning to spend some serious time out in the cold this winter.

puffy jacket
The purpose of my purchase was to find a highly compressible puffy jacket with hood and DWR finish for mountaineering. I like the jacket to fit over my OR Mithril jacket and all the layering under that, which is why I picked a large size. The jacket is plenty roomy and I will test it in Dec in the German Alps and in March on Mt Whitney. I did notice that it sheds lightly down feathers after wearing it on 20F morning walks.
