The Elixir defines all-mountain utility with it's durability compressionability and weight.
Ski the trees scramble through rocks: durable compressible and lightweight the Elixir defines all-mountain utility. 70D GORE-TEX® PacLite® fabric is fully seam taped for waterproof performance in storm conditions. The adjustable full-coverage hood folds into the collar when it's not in use. A double-separating front zipper with internal and external stormflaps offers full protection when snow and rain are blowing sideways. Pit zips with water-resistant zippers allow fresh air to flow around your core on long burning hills.

Very good looking totally waterproof shell!!! Living in Alaska this is perfect for my atv riding. It rains here a lot and with a little layering underneath it can't be beat.

The elixir is probably the best rain shell I've ever had. Construction is top notch (does everything need to be made in china?)I had the EMS deluge paclite and found it too noisy in high wind(it went back). Just the right amount of features too. There is an interior zip pocket that is not mentioned. I do think the hand warmmer storm flaps are a waste. They are double thickness and overkill considering they are covering waterproof zippers. The stowable storm hood is great(not filling up with snow when hanging around). Great all around.

OR quality...again! Image: 5 Stars

I have a couple of OR's jackets and this one again delivers on performance and fit. A very technical jacket but can also be worn in town without looking like you were on your way to some backcountry hiking and just got lost. The only thing I wish this jacket had was zip in capability for my OR softshell and two way pit zips. The hood also folds nicely into the collar.

OK so this is my first Goretex shell imagine my surprise when I found out it isn't waterproof! I wanted to use the shell and matching pants for sailing in wet weather I couldn't believe it when I was soaked after about 20 minutes. I am back to wearing my $80 waterproof gear. Yeah the cheap gear gathers moisture on the inside but at least I don't get soaked. Gore-tex is a well advertised rip off. Ok the jacket looks nice and seems to be well made but its not good for much beyond going to the store on a misty night. Bahhhhhh what a waste of money!

Excellent design Image: 5 Stars

I'm 5'11' and 200 lbs. and the large is a perfect fit. For a hard shell this jacket is surprisingly supple. It is light and allows great freedom of movement. The pit zips are huge for efficient venting during increased activity. Before buying this shell I never liked hoods that folded into collars. This jacket has changed my mind. The design around the neck is superb and the hood moves well with your head to effectively avoid obstructing your vision. The Gore-Tex Paclite makes for a thin and extremely comfortable shell. The rain flap covering the zipper is not encumbered with annoying velcro but rather is effectively designed to cover the zipper without it. I'm really impressed with this shell and am thankful for the thought that Outdoor Research put into it. It's an easy 5 stars
