The Outdoor Research Interstellar Jacket: Our Lightest, Most Breathable Hard Shell with Soft Stretch Comfort Gear News

Outdoor Research hails from the Pacific Northwest, an area which consistently ranks as one of the wettest places in the United States. In a climate such as ours you soon learn to embrace the weather, ultimately resigning yourself to the fact that if you are to make the most of the incredible climbing, hiking, biking, skiing and paddling available on your doorstep, your waterproof jacket will need to become your second skin for many a dusk-till-dawn adventure. It's on these occasions that comfort and breathability are put to the test, as aerobic activity threatens to build up moisture on the inside of your shell and your focus turns to any areas restricting your movement.

The more breathable your waterproof jacket the more versatile it becomes, so with this in mind we introduce the award winning Interstellar Jacket; now the lightest hard shell in our collection and undoubtedly one of the most comfortable waterproof jackets we've ever made.

Totally waterproof, highly breathable and incredibly lightweight, the Interstellar has an innovative AscentShell™ membrane that provides high-exertion athletes with complete protection again rain, snow, wind and inclement weather, yet broadens their comfort zone throughout aerobic activity in changing conditions. AscentShell™ is a proprietary membrane created by an electrospun process where charged polymers form a fine, very breathable membrane that allows sweat vapour out, but stops water from coming in. This provides great mechanical stretch for full freedom of movement, and results in a lightweight laminate technology that saves precious weight during demanding endeavours.
