Outdoor Research

If what you need is a lightweight, streamlined, no-frills rain jacket built for active use and versatility, it's going to be the Motive AscentShell Jacket. Outdoor Research was able to make this layer so light by focusing on features made for performance without weight. The cuffs and hood use a cinched binding that creates a tight seal to keep weather and wind out, and a 3-layer waterproof shell construction with mechanical stretch ensures you can move through whatever weather pattern is on the horizon.
