Product Description
There’s a reason the Outdoor Research Ferrosi hooded jacket has a cult-like following: Tough but breathable, lightweight yet weather resistant, this soft-shell layer does it all. Featuring a hybrid mapped construction with slightly heavier-weight fabric where you need it most, it has a fully adjustable hood, an elastic drawcord hem, and YKK DWR-treated zippers throughout Read More

Well, hopefully this jacket will keep me warm enough and dry enough on El Camino Norte in late summer/early fall. I have some merino tees I can layer with it. That will be it's sole initial purpose.

What does weather resistant mean. It's more an advertising blurb then an honest helpful description

There are sufficient reviews of this garment on the net for you to get a handle on this kind of jacket. But here is a quick summary:
It is a 'windshirt', so does not replace a shell or insulating layer. It is designed to lower convective heat loss in a windy environment yet still have enough vapour transmission to not cause condensation, if the user is active. It can be used as a softshell in light precipitation (drizzle/fog/ short squalls) as it has a dwr and also the capacity to evaporate moisture quickly if the wearer is active. These are conditions where a hardshell layer (ie a waterproof membrane: goretex etc) is not very useful as, when active, condensation builds up, chilling the wearer.
This type of garment also excels in cool dry activities like xc-skiing - where the air temp is cold and windy but a membrane jacket would be overwhelmed by sweat. A windshirt still gets wet with sweat if you are working hard enough but if you have a good base layer the sweat quickly evaporates - not easily accomplished in a membrane jacket.
A windshirt is a niche garment for aerobic activity and is part of a layering or moisture management system but does not replace a WPB or insulative layer - but certainly complements them.

The pictures above detailing the jackets and the pictures below in the style option categories are different jackets. Which one is being sold?

No intention of deceiving you, the photos below of the Men's style were mistakenly of the Ferrosi Hoody instead of Ferrosi Hooded Jacket. But I mean honestly, could they come up with some better differentiating names?? :) Thanks for bringing to our attention, we have swapped the photos for the correct jacket. @esunaregen

PaigeDThank you for the response. I figured it was likely a mistake. I'll keep an eye out for the updated images. Just to confirm, are the images at the top of the page or the bottom of the page (i.e. the darker blue or the lighter blue (dusk)) the correct ones? I still see both being different. I ask because it will affect my buying decision. Thanks again!

GVU1Meh, not really needed in a softshell this light. Would just add weight

I'm 174,5cm and 82kg... i don't know what size to choose L or M?
Last week i bought a windveil jacket from Rab, i choose the M and it was too small for me

bensbensI'd still go medium... Outdoor research is much more generously sized. I've got a medium rab microlight that barely fits around my hips.

i got one on an earlier drop. It's a useful jacket,if slightly niche, for a hiker. the hood is preposterous, though. Seems to be designed for someone with a giant melon shaped head.
I get that it is shaped for a climbing helmet but the lack of adjustment makes this a real design flaw. If you cinch the toggles the hood comes down to your nose. If you don't cinch it you have a floppy cowl flopping in the wind like a benedictine monk's.
I could cut two eyeholes in it I suppose....

I’m 5’9”, 160lbs ... I’m thinking small would work for me, but does anyone have any experience with the size of these jackets?

Thanks for the replies! I have a slender athletic build and had considered the size for when layering. I found the sizing chart on the OR website and the medium seems like it would be perfect, with just enough room for some layers. I really love that kale/hops colour.

gnarledcouleeYep, I would go the medium and you could certainly layer under it.
You might get away with the small if you just want a base under it - depends how you are going to use it. The medium would be more versatile.
