Outdoor Research are masters of what is best described as ‘hybrid’ fabric construction. What that means is thanks to strategically locating different fabrics in all the right places, it won’t let you overheat when you’re pushing it on a blue- sky powder day but if the weather gets tough when you’re climbing in less than perfect alpine conditions, it’ll protect you properly. If you want to know what we mean check out the Alibi Jacket as a great example and what’s more, check out their Infinite Guarantee.
