Product Description
Snow dumping, wind howling, fully epic days were what we had in mind when we developed the StormBound Jacket™, the warmest jacket in our Sidecountry line. The waterproof and breathable Pertex® outer, cozy down insulation, and taped seams keep out the weather and capture your hard-earned body heat. A helmet-compatible hood, zip-out balaclava, and elastic powder skirt seal out flying snow, and double-sliding pit zips open up to let you vent excess warmth when the sun finally appears.

Hidden Gem - Really Happy with this Jacket
By Stuart
After a long search, I finally found the ski jacket I was looking for. I thought the Patagonia Powder Bowl was going to be the answer, but it ended up having some serious functional flaws. On the other hand, this OR jacket seems to have been designed with functional requirements in mind.
1) the shell is adaptive and moves well with your body
2) the hood fits over my RED Avid helmet easily, allows me to zip up the collar, and provides a bit of head movement
3) has all the usual tech: fully taped seams, water resistant zippers, down, removable powder skirt, etc.
4) bonus: removable built-in balaclava
5) seems like it's configured to allow you to "batten down the hatches" on a cold snowy day, or stay cool on a warm day if you just wear a base-layer, unzip everything, and remove components (balaclava, snow skirt)
In my opinion the jacket has a great cut. It doesn't pull on my shoulders, but still conforms to my frame. It's also very cozy; I feel like I'm wearing a hoodie. I tried the grey color on and liked it, but ended up getting the blue instead.
As I was reading jacket reviews for Outdoor Research, Patagonia, Mountain Hardware, etc., I found this criteria from a reviewer on the Patagonia site: I want to "put [the jacket] on and forget that I am wearing it". The Stormbound jacket meets this requirement 100% and remains fully functional, so I highly recommend it.
5'11" 145lbs with broad shoulders: size small (medium was too baggy, small is just right)
Update: I used the jacket this weekend at Stowe. Temps were in the 20's with wind/snow. I was comfortable with just a light baselayer and stayed warm and dry. I felt very mobile in the jacket. The mesh gear pockets are very useful when you get back to the lodge. The thumb loops were a nice surprise, and I ended up using them all weekend. I also tried out the balaclava while it was snowing. My gaiter-clad friends were complaining of cold faces, but I was very comfortable. One complaint is concerning the excessive number of feathers stuck to my baselayer when I removed the jacket. I hope this situation improves with usage. I'm still really pleased with this jacket. Update 2: I used the jacket for 7 days in Colorado. Again I was impressed with how warm I stayed when my friends were cold. I also got to test the jacket out in 45 degree weather. With a baselayer and the pit zips open I was very comfortable. The jacket continues to shed feathers leading to jokes about avian moulting.

Most feature rich jacket you can find
By Eroc
OR has out done themselves with this jacket. I bought mine originally for everyday use. I have it in black. It is not as bulky as other down jackets that has a length like some parkas. However it also isnt as warm as say some of the bulkier heavier down parkas either...now that isnt necessarily a bad thing for I have an Eddie Bauer Superior Down Parka that is way to warm for me here in chicago! My EB might get used 2x a year at best! It is suitable for 5-10F or lower...you will be extremely hot in it in any other temp above 15 degrees.
Now the Stormbound is good to about 15F depending on how you are and what layers (I tested it with a t-shirt and fleece on in 16F degree)you have on..it can go further with the more layers...so this jacket will do 0F if you dress for it. I just hate tons of layers especially for everyday use. But remember, It is a ski jacket first...that is its roots. So it is for someone active in it...that is why it has pit zips and isnt as heavy insulation wise. It has a ton of features that if you ski will love! Powder Skirt is great for Colorado or out west skiing in deep powder so you dont get it up you back while you are skiing or if you wreck. Lift ticket clip is nice as well as the pass pocket. It has an integrated balaclava which is cool if you snowmobile, ice fish (with the right layers), or ski in the cold! The hood is insulated and can be zipped off. The shell seems tough and is fully waterproof and breathable. Oh and it has a locator if you get in an avalanche! They can find you!!
I did not get this on amazon for I found it for a much better deal elsewhere...for this coat starts to get up there in cost, still not bad at retail for what it offers but I try to never pay retail ever! It runs like a parka in length (a little shorter)...well not quite as far but it passes the belt line by about 2-3 inches or so. If you are wearing a long sweater or sweatshirt this will cover it. It is not a puffy jacket either. I would say it is a mid-weight down jacket, if you are standing in 20 degrees waiting for the bus you will be fine...maybe to 15 but that might be pushing it. My Eddie Bauer is great for 0F which in chicago doesnt happen much anymore. It also has an incredible amount of pockets in it...both external and internal...the internal pockets are functional, big and impressive! You can put gloves and/or a hat in the inside pockets...even a bottle of water...a large one at that! The outside front pockets are lightly insulated with a fleece lining so they will keep your hands warm if you forget your gloves.
When I was looking for a jacket, I wanted one that was down, waterproof, decent for causal dress (business friendly), had a hood as well as handwarmer pockets in case I didnt bring my gloves with. I also wanted something that was good to about 10F...the only downside to this...unless you layer up a little. The plus is it is really a ski jacket by nature so now I have a jacket for both that doesnt look to much like a dedicated ski jacket. This jacket covers everything quite well and is a complete rockstar for skiing and snow sports! It is one of the best winter jacket I have owned yet!!
I do have a few gripes about this jacket...cuffs...they are designed with a purpose but they have a flaw..wind can get up your sleeve...so can snow for that matter. I do wish it was a little warmer...had slightly more insulation. Length could be a little longer if you nit pick but it is ok. Hood is very good but has a big overhang that can be folded in...which helps...if you dont wear a helmet (which the hood fits) then you will notice its size. all of the above is why I ding it one star...it should really be a 1/2 star for this is an excellent jacket for the money and amazon doesnt allow 1/2 stars.
