Freewheel Stretch Rain Jacket

Changing the zipper Old zipper was a better zipper on these jackets. Causes problems getting in the car and moving about at periods.?

I took this out on a 45F downpour, biking to a friends house…I was dumb and forgot my fenders. My pants were soaked after 2 miles Upper body totally dry Would recommend if you are looking at it

I own several OR products due to their value and utility, but I regret this purchase because the zipper is poorly sewn and irritates my chin/neck to the point of not being wearable. Note: the hood will likely impede your vision unless you’re wearing headgear underneath… it is HUGE!

Been putting the Freewheel jacket through the ringer recently - tons of rain and muddy days on the bike. Big fan. Having the zip pocket on the lower back is super clutch to stash gloves when climbing so they're fresh on the descent. The stretch is great and it hardly feels like you're wearing a rain jacket. Best riding rain jacket I've owned after years of riding in the PNW.

I got caught in a hail storm about two miles from my house. I put on the jacket and didn’t get any more wet the remainder of the ride. I also stayed warm the entire time. This jacket rocks

Used for bikepacking, backpacking, and pretty much everything else. Kept me mostly dry for 5 hours in light/moderate rain. Very bike specific fit but not bad for everyday use. The hood is great for wearing over a helmet but maybe a bit large if you aren't wearing one. Kinda hard to really sinch down if it's windy. Nice back vent relatively breathable but sadly no armpit vents so it can get a little hot. Especially when exerting yourself biking. Also just a bit tight fitting. The large woulda been too big. Medium is a bit tight which is understandable for riding but feels a bit constricting in the armpit/chest area especially if you're layering up or a wide person. Not a huge problem though. Overall big fan of the jacket, just wish there was more vent options.
