There are softshells and hardshells, and then there's the Outdoor Research Women's Skyward Jacket; a soft hardshell suitable for skinning up steep, backcountry terrain and skiing down said steeps in deep snow. Outdoor Research's lightweight and thin three-layer AscentShell construction assures reliable waterproofing for snowy conditions, and it provides outstanding breathability that's air permeable to keep you comfortably cool when you work up a sweat.
A jacket this breathable might lead you to believe that it actually isn't that waterproof, but Outdoor Research taped the jacket's seams to prevent a single snowflake from seeping through. Just in case the fabric's air permeable nature isn't enough for you, the Skyward's long, hem-to-underarm, TorsoFlo ventilation system assures ample airflow. The hood adjusts over beanies on the skinner, and it slides over helmets with ease. In case your skins freeze, the internal Shove-It pockets warm them up on the ride down for the next hike up.

I REALLY wanted to like this jacket!
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it

This shell felt super sturdy and great as an outer layer for skiing - but the proportions make no sense! Super tight around the torso with no room for a puff underneath, and the arms were baggy and way too long. Bummer, because other than the fit it seemed great. Had to return it.

All the bells and whistles

This shell has been great for my ski season thus far. OR really thought of everything. Inside pockets for straps and a chest pocket for your phone. Zippers for everything to keep items secure and allow for versatility. I fluctuate between a small and a medium but purchased a medium to fit this over my other jacket and layers. Highly recommend!

I love the features of this jacket, but the arms and torso were too long for me.
