Totally waterproof, super breathable, and incredibly lightweight, AscentShell technology is the surefire way to provide high-exertion alpine athletes with complete protection against ice, snow, wind, and however else the weather tries to thwart a perfectly planned ski tour. The Skyward II Jacket and Pants have earned awards and #1 spots on athlete-favorited gear lists for versatility that's suited to other alpine sports, and we've injected even more stretch into the Skyward's face fabric to enhance your range of motion while kick turning and long strides while skinning.
Since 2016, Outdoor Research's proprietary AscentShell™ technology uses an electrospun process to create a 3L construction that breathes faster, weighs less, stretches more, and far surpasses the comfort of traditional waterproof membranes.
