User Review: Outdoor Research Transcendent Sweater

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new

Summary

Near perfect for me.

Pros

  • Quality
  • Warmth
  • Packability
  • Fit

I used this sweater during my son's scouting weekend and it met all my expectations. 

Fit. I am average height and build and the sweater fit very well and was not restrictive at all through a range of motions. The elastic cuff was tight enough to keep the sleeve in place but not so restrictive that it became uncomfortable. 

Comfort. I was wearing a base layer and lightweight polar fleece pullover and the sweater kept me warm well into the lower 20's. In windy conditions I wore a shell over it and I remained warm in 28 degree weather and 20 MPH winds. The sweater remained comfortable alone in 15 MPH winds with temps in mid 30's.
