Outdoor Research Axcess Jacket - Women's
OR axcess jacket
By bigbiker February 10, 2012
Haven't used it in the cold yet, i'm still in Florida so hopefully it's as warm as they say. All the side zippers are true water tight zippers, but the front zipper is not. I'm not sure how water proof it will turn out to be. The color of the zippers on the peacock are not as pictured( dark gray). They are more of a cream color which was disappointing because it will definitely show dirt. The gore-tex doesn't seam as strong as my North Face and Arc'teryx jackets. Everyone had nothing but good things to say about this jacket so I'm going to trust what they've said even though my first impression wasn't as high as I expected. The company has a lifetime warrenty so if I do have any problems they should take care of it.
