Why We Like The Outdoor Research Echo 1/4-Zip Jacket

Whether it is being used as a performance top in the summer or a base layer in the winter, we love the Outdoor Research Echo 1/4-Zip Jacket for it technical performance features. Made from a Bluesign APPROVED and recycled polyester, the Echo is moisture-wicking, quick-drying, breathable and lightweight. With a UPF rating of 20 you can have more fun staying out and adventuring, and the AirVent moisture management incorporated into the fabric helps to keep us dry by wicking away and evaporating our sweat. ActiveFresh odor control technology helps to reduce odor caused by sweat and the flat-seam construction makes this top very comfortable and easy to layer over.

Great quarter zip

Perfect for summer and people love the echo material for layering in shoulder season or warm but wet hiking in winter

Love this quarter zip. Not overly bulky and it allows for plenty of movement while wearing over another shirt. I actually have one of these in about every color as I wear them while I am out on the town but also they are well suited for me to wear while on the water guiding on the cool mornings or late evening sessions.

Fragile

Super fragile shirt, handle with care. Keep away from velcro at all costs. Was excitedly heading out for a paddle with my brand new Echo shirt, it touched a live of velcro on my dry bag and immediately pulled the fabric, less than ten minutes of wear. While my dissatisfaction with the fragility is high, its ability to keep the sun off me in hot weather was really nice.

Great Mid-Weight

This was a lot heavier than I had expected, but it is a great fit, comfortable, and warm! Zipper is quality, and I like that the logo is at the bottom of the hem, not on the chest. Overall, lots of surprises, but a good buy!

Super lightweight top

This is a great product, nice fit, good construction. Be aware that it is VERY light weight, perfect for sun coverage in the summer, but I wouldn't use it as anything other than a single layer in hot conditions.

Super lightweight

I didn’t realize how thin this top is. Almost see through. Definitely a base layer for spring or fall. Fits nicely but has limited possibilities for my use.

They keep getting better

Great fit, great breathability and dries faster than anything else, lightweight and comfortable fabric. I haven't found a better shirt for intense activity. Arms stretch to be pulled up -- initially tight, but will continue to stretch to the point of falling down after a few hours. Arms reset nicely when laundered, essentially back to original. The current thumb loops are a significant improvement from the previous design, particularly when pulled up. Only concern is the shirts slowly and progressively shrink with gentle laundering (cold gentle cycle in a delicates bag, hang dried, no heat) -- I imagine that's unavoidable with the design tradeoffs, but would love if there was a solution. Obviously they'll snag and form holes with rough use.
