Outdoor Research Superlayer Jacket - Review

  • 2014-11-21 12:10:28

    Outdoor Research Superlayer Jacket ReviewThe Outdoor Research Superlayer jacket is designed as an all around breathable insulation layer that can be worn through a range of cold-weather activities (such as backcountry skiing).

    This is an innovative new piece from Outdoor Research and will be available in the Fall of 2014. At the heart of the Superlayer jacket is Primaloft’s Hi-Loft Silver Insulation. The unique insulation is manufactured in long, continuous sheets that allow it to stay in place without additional baffles or seams. Without the need for these baffles, a much wider possibility of fabric construction opens up on both the inside and outside of the jacket. Outdoor Research has elected to use a breathable fabric they call “woven softshell” for the exterior of the jacket.
