Outdoor Research Women’s Aspire II Jacket

Light on weight, completely waterproof, and perfectly packable, the Outdoor Research Aspire Jacket shows us there’s no reason not to toss it into our pack for any and all adventures. We love its breathable and easy-to-vent weather protection on backcountry ski adventures, extended backpacking treks, and long multi-pitch climbs alike. Designed with GORE-TEX Paclite technology, this lightweight shell delivers total waterproof protection without the bulk, and now features a more environmentally friendly DWR (Durable Water Repellent) that’s free of PFCs.
