Outdoor Research Winter 2018

The 4am alarm, the gas station coffee, and the stuffy, stinky carpool.
The only thing that outmatches our dedication to equipping backcountry explorers with the best outdoor apparel is their dedication to adventure.

For Fall 2018, we asked these committed individuals what they needed to
get out. What we learned led us to develop a collection from the inside out that not only merchandises well, but fits their needs to a T. Foundational layers, alpine-specific outerwear, and ski pieces purpose-built for untamed backcountry terrain represent our dedication to enabling explorers to get out – and getting out there ourselves.

OR Skyward II Jacket & Pants M / W

The manufacturing of the AscentShell membrane used for the new Skyward II products differs from the manufacturing of conventional membranes. It’s created by an electrospun process where charged polymers form a fine, very breathable membrane that allows sweat vapor out, but stops water from coming in. Outdoor Research’s exclusive 3-layer AscentShell material offers the comfort, touch and feel as well as breathability of a softshell with the weather protection and the robustness of a hard shell. The breathability you want, the protection you need.
