Outside Buyer's Guide Magazine reviews the OR Axiom Jacket:
"Gore stipulates that all jackets using its new waterproof-breathable Active Shell fabric must weigh less than 14 ounces, which has spawned a lot of minimalist shells. The Axiom is the exception, tricked out as it is with three pockets, a three-way adjustable hood, Velcro cuff closures, and a waist cinch strap. And it still makes the weight cut at a nimble 13 ounces. It lacks pit zips, but you'd never know it looking at testers' field notes. "I usually can't wear a waterproof jacket when hiking hard uphill, but I wore this piece all day," said one, a testament to how breathable Gore's new membrane is. The Axiom is designed primarily for alpine climbing - the hood is trim, the hand pockets sit out of the way of harnesses, and the fabric has a bit of stretch. But we found it's up for just about every mission, from backcountry skiing to backpacking."
