OROS Apparel is an approachable outdoor clothing brand that features stylish and sophisticated designs for both men and women. Their clothes are very warm, but aren’t bulky. It’s perfect for cold weather outdoor activities.

They use a material called SOLARCORE®, which is flexible and thin. They make everything you need from hats and gloves to pants and jackets.

Becca and I first heard about OROS Apparel in 2021. It was a new brand to us at the time, but when we have it a shot we were absolutely hooked. Since then, I’ve been running in my Explorer Hoodie exclusively once the temperature goes to 50 degrees fahrenheit / 10 degrees celsius.

Where to buy OROS?

OROS is an online-only brand. The company is not selling their garments in US retailers the last time we checked.

What types of products does OROS sell?

OROS sells outerwear, tops, bottoms, tees and accessories for both men and women. Becca and I have both tried an assortment of the OROS gear, from the men’s shell jackets and insulated gloves to the unisex beanie and the women’s parka.

The OROS website also categorizes their products by use. For example, you can go to categories of “Hike & Trail,” “Run & Ride,” “City & Everyday” or “Travel & Commute.” This makes finding the perfect OROS jacket easy in a verifiable way it was meant to be warn!

My favorite OROS products are my Oros gloves, Oros beanie and Explorer Hoodie, which is a great fall pullover with some performance qualities. Becca likes the best-selling Orion Parka, Itinerant Gloves and the women’s Explorer Hoodie as well.

What are some of the benefits of OROS?

I think where OROS has cool benefits compared to other brands is that the company focuses on the technology used in the materials for all their products. OROS has created “SOLARCORE,” which is an innovative insulative material used in their jackets.

The website is also cool in that on any product page for outerwear on the website, there is an infographic that shows the temperatures it’s ideal for. This means that if you know you live in NYC and the winter is usually between 20-40F, you could look for jackets that hit that range.

Where does OROS fall short?

OROS falls short with special sizes. They do not yet make petite sizes, or big and tall sizes at this time. Becca found this to be a shortfall, especially when assessing the size and fit of the OROS Orion parka, which hit her quite low on her legs, compared to the model on the website who is much taller.

In all honesty, their customer service gave us quite a bit of confusion after the company kind of blacked out off social media and was impossible to get in touch with. It was not clear what was happening. So that’s another shortfall: a lack of corporate communication. It’s too bad, because of the great products they make. We’re hoping customer service will come back to match that.

What is the OROS return policy?

You get 30 days from your purchase date to return or exchange anything you’re not happy with. Items need to be in perfect condition. So anything unused, unwashed, with all tags still attached, and in the original packaging.

Important caveats: If you’re buying “Last Call” products, those are final sale (no returns or exchanges). Same goes for Black Friday Bundles, though you can exchange those for a different size or color.

The fine print: Returns will cost you a $7 shipping label processing fee, but exchanges are free.
