The lightest, most streamlined AscentShell™ rain jacket with reliable 3L waterproof protection, stretch, and supreme breathability. Limited edition colors you can only get online.
The most breathable hardshell with essential rain protection, according to Engearment.
If what you need is a lightweight, streamlined, no-frills rain jacket built for active use and versatility, it's going to be the Motive AscentShell™ Jacket. We were able to make this layer so light by focusing on features made for performance without weight. The cuffs and hood use a cinched binding that creates a tight seal to keep weather and wind out, and a 3-layer waterproof shell construction with mechanical stretch ensures you can move through whatever weather pattern is on the horizon.
Complete comfort.
Intuitive stretch. Reliability in wet weather.
Since 2016, Outdoor Research's proprietary AscentShell™ technology uses an electrospinning process to create a 3L construction that breathes faster, weighs less, stretches more, and far surpasses the comfort of traditional waterproof membranes. Never crunchy or noisy, AscentShell™ is just as comfortable as a soft shell, with the performance of a hard shell. Air permeable and breathable, AscentShell™ vents perspiration and excess heat during aerobic activity, while its light weight saves precious energy on demanding endeavors.
