Hi Cayd,

It's excellent news that the BODYLOC® RAPTOR Full Zip Stow Jacket is already proving its worth with that impressive wind-stopping performance! We designed this jacket to be your go-to layer when conditions get tough, and hearing how well that thin, packable design shut out the wind completely validates all the engineering that went into it. The fact that it fits perfectly over your matching gear and stows so easily makes it the ultimate hunting companion. Your support keeps our Maine factory working to build gear that performs when it counts. Thanks for choosing Origin!

Hi Morgan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about the BODYLOC® RAPTOR FULL ZIP STOW JACKET, and we sincerely apologize that the jacket failed to provide adequate water protection during the storm, leaving you soaking wet after just 5 minutes of heavy rain.

Your specific feedback about the water shedding performance being inadequate for outdoor use, especially for hunting activities, is valuable information that we'll share directly with our technical design and materials teams to review our fabric specifications and water-resistant treatments to ensure we're delivering the weather protection that customers should expect from performance outerwear designed for demanding outdoor conditions.

Your insights about the performance gap help us understand where we need to improve our weather protection capabilities while maintaining the quality camo patterns and construction that make our gear suitable for serious outdoor use.

Hi Ian! Thanks for the detailed breakdown on the BODYLOC® RAPTOR FULL ZIP STOW JACKET. We're glad to hear the design elements like the hood and the pocket slit feature are hitting the mark; those were definitely intentional touches we're proud of.

However, we really appreciate you bringing up the issues with water resistance, sizing, and especially that front zipper. A zipper that separates immediately after zipping is absolutely not the performance standard we hold our gear to, and the oversized fit across multiple sizes points to something we need to address in our sizing specs.

We'll definitely pass all of these points along to our design and quality control teams. The zipper issue in particular needs immediate attention, and the sizing feedback will help us refine future production runs.

Thanks for the honest review and for supporting American-made gear, even when it doesn't quite hit the mark!

Hi Justin,

We love that the BODYLOC® RAPTOR FULL ZIP STOW JACKET has become your perfect rain gear! There's nothing better than a jacket that delivers that ideal combination of weather protection and versatility you're experiencing, whether you're dealing with mild rain or need a reliable windbreaker.

It's awesome that you can count on it for multiple conditions; that's exactly the kind of adaptable performance we engineered into the BODYLOC® system.

Thanks for choosing Origin and for the great feedback!
