Why We Like The Aspire Jacket
Light on weight, completely waterproof, and perfectly packable, the Outdoor Research Aspire Jacket shows us there's no reason not to toss it into our pack for any and all adventures. We love its breathable and easy-to-vent weather protection on backcountry ski adventures, extended backpacking treks, and long multi-pitch climbs alike. Designed with GORE-TEX Paclite technology, this lightweight shell delivers total waterproof protection without the bulk, and now features a more environmentally friendly DWR (Durable Water Repellent) that's free of PFCs.

Versatile jacket for the rain
I live in Seattle and have appreciated the way this jacket keeps me dry and comfortable. The ventilation makes it so I don’t overheat if I’m moving, the shell is waterproof and keeps out moisture. It rolls up small so I can keep it strapped to a pack just in case. I’m 5’8” with wider shoulders and a slim build, bought a medium in case I want to wear layers underneath.

My wife likes it
This jacket is great, my wife uses it and carries it all the time. I do hate how there isn't a way to pack the jacket down at all. I always end up rolling the jacket up and stuffing it into its own hood and then wrapping it in a velcro strap. A simple design change of one of the pockets could make it packable and so much easier to carry. If I'm hiking it just gets stuffed in the bag, but if I'm in my truck I would like it to be rolled up and contained some how.

packs down pretty well into the outside pocket of my backpacking pack. i use this for search and rescue, and while it isnt the most durable fabric for snhs on trees / brush / granite/ etc, it feels like it will hold up well for many miles of hiking.

Good, basic rain jacket. Generous pockets, decent adjustability, keeps you dry but not too many frills. This is the first jacket I've owned with pit zips that extend to the hem—I'm not exactly sure what the pro of having them extend that far vs more traditional vents is, but these function fine.

Loving this jacket! It's very lightweight despite having full side zips, which I enjoy utilizing when I'm wearing a pack in the rain. The jacket does a great job of repelling rain for hours and is breathable and packable for adventures and racing.
