Refuge Hooded Jacket - Women's

Constructed with new insulation technology from Outdoor Research, the Refuge Hooded Jacket provides resiliency, breathability, and stretch in a synthetic insulation piece that keeps you warm even when wet. This new insulation technology, VerticalX, offers warmth that is more akin to a 700-fill down than most other commonly used synthetic insulations. It's also more breathable thanks to the lack of an internal backer meaning there's less of a barrier to moisture moving through the jacket. VerticalX is essentially synthetic insulation with better loft and a lot more stretch.

The stretch from the VerticalX is highly appreciated when climbing in the cooler temperatures, skiing on fresh powder days, and making your way up to a remote mountain lake in late fall. The water resistant face fabric keeps you dry in light moisture and the brushed tricot interior keeps you extra cozy warm when the temperatures really start to drop. When your adventures are over, the jacket packs into its own pocket for easy carry until you need it next.
