Product description

view larger

Warm, compressible and incredibly lightweight, the Transcendent Hoody is built to keep you comfortably insulated when the temperature drops, then stuff away into a corner of your pack when not needed.

The hoody's high-quality 650 down fill insulation keeps you cozy during cross-country rambles or when you're huddled at camp, yet stows neatly for uphill slogs. For multi-day treks, it packs down so small you'll have a hard time not finding space to bring it along.

Great jacket, few things to note ..

November 12, 2014

Size: MediumColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Like this jacket a lot. It's very similar to the Patagonia down sweater, but costs a lot less. Appears to be well made and relatively warm, though not as warm as the down sweater. Probably wouldn't wear it below 30-35 without a fleece. I got the black one, but what I received looks a little bit different from the photo, probably an updated version. The OR logo on mine is black/grey, which looks better than pictured (bright white). Also, the lining is a bit darker than in the picture and has a faint pattern on it. The jacket is standard fit, but wears more like slim fit when zipped up. This is due to the 2 deep stretch pockets on the inside, which have rubber bands that pull the jacket together around the rib cage. Because if this, it feels a bit tight when zipped up. No big deal, but worth noting. Overall, I am happy with the jacket and would buy it again.

Gear up - Get Outside!

Verified Purchase

I am an avid outdoorsman and backpacker and I needed a super compressible and very warm jacket that would protect me on long, all day hikes in the mountains, or huddled by the campfire at night. The Outdoor Research Transcendent hoody is the answers to all my needs.
I was concerned to order this jacket online without trying it on first, I am a stocky guy with a larger chest and I had read reviews that said a large would fit or a medium would probably fit my body type. I wanted it to be snug and to not have any dead air space, so I got the Medium.
Perfect fit! I am 6'0", 180lb, and it is like it was made just for me.
I have already put this thing through the ringer and took it out with me on multiple occasions bushwhacking through the high desert, climbing snowy ridges, and overall, a great jacket to wear to work, or just running around town.
Bottom line: Buy it.

Great insulated jacket

December 3, 2012

Size: MediumColor: Pewter/EmberVerified Purchase

I use this in CO for climbing 13ers and 14ers round the year. It's a great jacket, it packs down well, and is very warm. It's replaced my extra layers during the summer months, and is a great layer to use over a few layers in the winter months (depending on how cold it is outside). I've been on top of peaks where the windchill was down into the single digits and this jacket has kept me plenty warm (almost too warm while ascending). With the right layers underneath you can probably use this down jacket below zero.

Good:
Pockets are extremely warm. Very pleased with how fast my hands warm up in the pockets.
Hood tightens down nicely.
Cuts wind up to 50 MPH gusts well.
Packs down well.
Very warm.
Good value, as good as other similar jackets but more affordable.
Hood.

The problems:
Pockets are too low, a hip belt on most backpacks interferes with your ability to access the outside pockets. The jacket's a bit long on me, so I can pull it up to access the pockets, but it would be nice if the pockets were higher.
Pit zips would be nice. I can't always stop to take off the jacket, and it can get too warm at times.
Doesn't pack down as well as 800 fill down (of course).

My new go-to down jacket. Great fit, price and features

February 20, 2015

Verified Purchase

First, I'm 6'2, 180lb. I wear a 16-36/37 dress shirt, have a 42" chest and a 32" waist. The large fits me really well. Most jackets are either too short in the arms and the body, or if they're not too short, they're way to big around the midsection. This gets the balance right for me. I have several jackets including a Rab Neutrino, north face Nuptse, a Rab Strata Hoodie, Rab Microlight and others. I tend to get Rab for the fit and the quality. This is right up there with Rab, but a little less "technical" not trying to be super light, but has more comforts like fleece lined pockets which more than make up for the 2-3 extra ounces...

I got this jacket for under $100 on amazon. I'm retuning two alternatives I got from other sites for the fit issues I described above. I'm keeping the transcendent.

It's not as warm as the others I tried, but right now it's about 9F outside and wearing this with a wool base layer, and a thin icebreaker will zip front "real fleece" top is keeping me plenty warm. The hood is cinch-able with draw strings on the site and one on the back ensuring a great snug fit.

Overall I think this is my new go-to down jacket for anything above 0F. I'll still use the Neutrino for the really cold days.

Perfect

December 3, 2012

Size: SmallColor: Pewter/EmberVerified Purchase

I'll start with some measurables to help prospective buyers out first. I am 5'6" 145 and picked up a small. I have a climbing/swimming background and had no problem with shoulder room or rotation. Length is perfect too. It has enough room for layering as well. Temp wise I have been comfortable at 30 degrees while only wearing a t-shirt under this. I wore a t-shirt, microfleece, and then this for a 16 degree night and still felt good while walking around. It blocks wind very well and the inner material is comfortable (not sticky or bunchy) if you are wearing it over short sleeves. The hood tends to fall down on me unless I have a hat on, or it is fully zipped. Not a real problem though. I bought the pewter/ember color and it looked exactly as it did online. I highly recommend this.

One great jacket

January 22, 2016

Size: X-LargeColor: Evergreen/HopsVerified Purchase

Looked long and hard, researching a lighter weight hooded down jacket. Currently have a Patagonia with more fill - 800 - but wanted a hood. This OR got the nod. Arriving just in time for the snow storm hitting Louisville so its a great opportunity to test side by side with the Patagonia. First impressions are great in every way. Fit is slightly trim, much trimmer than boxiness of Patagonia. Warmth wise I can say the OR is about as warm but the major difference is the OR blocks wind much better. The shell seems to be more durable as well. The Pat just seems a bit fragile. I do have a great deal of Patagonia wear and it is good enough I guess, seems to last fairly well. For this comparison, the OR rises above IMO and I am extremely happy with the purchase. Doubt Ill bring the Pat out much now except when there is no wind or inclement weather. The Pat is a fashionista piece, but really has nothing on this jacket other than the label and some additional $$$
