Product Description
A monster of a jacket, the rugged Alibi™ is a combination of different materials strategically located in all the right places. Tough, weatherproof fabric is used on the hood and shoulders where the elements hit hardest, a warm soft shell lower body holds in core warmth while providing breathability, and stretch fabric along the torso allows easy, unrestricted movement for the longest reaches. A two-piece hood, with an inner helmet liner and an outer shell, keeps the head warm and protected, letting your focus stay on the next move. Engineered for motion, an alpine cut minimizes bulk, allowing the jacket to move with you while providing protection from the challenging conditions encountered in alpine and ice climbing environments.Outdoor Research Women's Alibi Jacket (Trillium/Zin, Medium) Review
I've been researching soft shells for eight or nine months now, and watching which ones were going on sale, etc., and this is the winner. I ordered the OR Mithril Women's and the Women's Alibi (this one) and the difference was pronounced. The Mithril is a very boxy fit, and while the Alibi doesn't exactly hug my figure, it's a women's jacket without question. I am 5"7' and an overweight athlete at 170 (32" waist, 42" hips, 18" or 45" shoulders depending on how you measure). I got the large so I could layer and so that it wouldn't ride up when I was out and about. The medium would be a good single layer fit but I'm pleased with the large - I can fit a hoody underneath if I take a minute to get it all straight.The internal wrist cuffs are soft and don't need fussing with when you put the jacket on, the hood is delightfully functional and big enough to fit over a helmet and really keep all of you dry, and the pockets are roomy and lined for warmth. I've hiked, biked, and used it in 45-55 mph winds, a few rain storms, and two snow showers, and it's performed beautifully in all of them. Windproof, warm, and I didn't get wet! I haven't used it climbing yet but I think it will perform nicely there too based on the freedom of movement and fit. It is not highly ventilated (the body unzips but the arms don't so it gets a little hot there) but I bought it for Montana winters and springs so that's not a problem for me. It's a great jacket and I'm extremely happy with it.
