Outdoor Research Skytour AscentShell

The Outdoor Research Skytour is a game-changer for backcountry skiers who prioritize breathability. Using OR's proprietary AscentShell fabric, it offers a soft, stretchy feel that moves with you while providing excellent waterproof protection. It is significantly more breathable than traditional GORE-TEX shells, making it ideal for high-output skinning in variable weather. With a well-thought-out pocket layout and a comfortable fit, it is a fantastic value for those who want top-tier performance without the stiff, crinkly feel of traditional hardshells.
