Check out our full review.

Matt Zia reviews the Outdoor Research Ferrosi Summit Hooded Jacket for Blister

Outdoor Research Ferrosi Summit Hooded Jacket

Lots of our reviewers love the original Outdoor Research Ferrosi Jacket, and now there’s a new, burlier version called the Ferrosi Summit. So how much of the original Ferrosi’s versatility does the Summit version maintain, and just how much burlier is it?
