Navy Men’s OGIO ALPHA All Elements Stretch Wind Jacket Review
Gone are the days of worrying about wet and windy conditions thanks to OGIO’s latest stretch ¼ zip jacket from their new All Elements collection. Available in olive, navy and black, I decided to give one of their navy versions a try on while spending some time outdoors. Against the frigid mountain wind and a light downpour of rain, I made my way up the trail.
Given the lightweight nature of the All Elements Stretch Wind Jacket, I was surprised at just how exceptionally well it performed. Not only did the four-way stretch construction feel, but the AQUATECH waterproof fabric worked its magic beautifully.
Of course, the bonded and double-sided fabric also helped to completely block out all the gusts of wind along the way too. In terms of silent movement, I really like how OGIO managed to incorporate this technical fabric without the traditional swish noise that comes along with most other brands.
Overall, it has a premium, frictionless feel to it. For storage, the seam sealed zippers were another nice touch I found. As were the subtle but noticeable 360-degree reflectivity details.
Black Men’s OGIO ALPHA All Elements Elite Rain Jacket Review
When it comes to the OGIO All Elements Elite Rain Jacket, it’s easily one of my favorites. I’m a huge fan of full zip jackets, simply because their easy to take on and off in a flash. Not to mention, if you need more breathability, tugging the zipper down is all it takes.
While I knew how well the AQUATech weather protection fared in the rain and wind from my previous field test, I decided to try out the All Elements Elite Rain Jacket in warmer, drier conditions. Thanks to the four-way-stretch fabric, every step forward with this jacket on felt wonderful. Needless to say, it’s as comfortable as it gets.
In addition to the comfort, it’s rather nice knowing that the water and windproof tech is there too. Seam-sealed fabrics and zippers make this jacket genuinely versatile for any adventure or activity spent outdoors.
In terms of the finer details, the subtle OGIO branding pieces were nice touches as were the amplified reflective details for 360-degrees of visibility. I love the fact that I can hit the trails, go golf, or take the bike out, all while knowing I’ve got on a jacket that can effortlessly keep up.
