AdventuresNW.net Review - Furio Jacket
Thursday, Feb 16, 2012
AdventuresNW.net reviews the OR Furio Jacket:
"We put this jacket on a few testers and sent them into wettest environments we could find: the forests on the west side of the Olympics. Tramping through temperate rainforests, the hikers returned upset and angry. Why? Because there was only one Furio, and they all wanted it! The trio of testers reports that the lightweight jacket effectively block rain while shedding sweat moisture, but Outdoor Research’s unique design features excel at maximizing breathability and ventilation. The Furio blends featherweight Gore-Tex PacLite throughout the core of the jacket, with stout Gore-Tex ProShell in the shoulder yoke and along the sides. This creates durability in the high-wear areas while minimizing weight overall. The addition to core venting, dubbed TorsoFloTM by Outdoor Research, helps shed excess heat and prevent sweating much better than traditional pit-zips. The TorsoFloTM system features side zippers from the jacket hem to the upper arm section of the sleeve. You can literally open the entire sides of the jacket without getting wet.
