Outdoor Research Microgravity AscentShell Jacket

 This thing's awesome. I've gone through super wet, rainy days. I've been to waterfalls, and I've even been out in some like really wet, heavy snow, and I'm really happy to say that this jacket has held up amazingly well. It's got waterproof zippers all around, and as well it has a fully adjustable hood that is completely helmet compatible

 I've been to waterfalls, and I've even been out in some like really wet, heavy snow, and I'm really happy to say that this jacket has held up amazingly well. It's got waterproof zippers all around, and as well it has a fully adjustable hood that is completely helmet compatible. So whether you're skiing or alpine climbing, you can really do almost any activity in this thing, and it's pretty sweet. This thing has taken me on so many adventures, and I'm really excited to see where else I can go while staying warm and staying dry this season

 We're out here today in some coastal, old-growth British Columbia rainforest. These trees are gigantic, they're absolutely amazing, and the reason that they can grow to be so big, partly is because of how much rain falls in these areas. If you live in the Pacific Northwest, you know just how much rain can fall on a daily basis. Chances are, you know how important it is to have a high-quality, actually waterproof rain jacket, and today I want to talk about the Outdoor Research Microgravity Shell

The Outdoor Research Microgravity Shell Review!

 A draw-cord hem and hook-and-loop closure cuffs help to dial in the fit and seal out the elements. I'm wearing a size medium here, and the fit is perfect to accommodate a base layer and a mid-layer underneath. Whether you're skiing, climbing, or hiking, this jacket has the protection and features you need to stay dry and comfortable. For your next high-altitude, high-energy adventure, check out the Outdoor Research Women's Microgravity Ascent Shell Jacket

Outdoor Research Women's Microgravity AscentShell Jacket

 In fitting with the alpinist motif, side panels allow freedom of movement needed for climbing. There are two chest pockets and two hand pockets, and one of the hand pockets allows you to stow the jacket for easy packing. The elastic drawcord hem and velcro cuffs help you seal out bad weather, along with the helmet-compatible hood. Outdoor Research says this jacket has a trim fit

 Let's check out the details. This jacket represents the latest in a long search for the holy grail of perfect waterproofness and perfect breathability. Ascent Shell technology uses an electrospinning process to create a layer which breathes faster, weighs less, and stretches more than comparable membranes. But that's not all

Outdoor Research Men's Microgravity AscentShell Jacket

 It's soft, but it still feels substantial. And it's really quite a fair price. Right, oh cool, that's always good as well. It's a very, very good value

 O.R. is a big, big believer in ultra-breathable waterproof membranes. It's just that much more comfortable for being active in bad weather, right? And O

 I first donned the jacket while hiking in very strong Patagonian winds, and it performed like a proper 3-layer hardshell. And on the same backpacking trip, the jacket did an admirable job completely isolating me from pelting, almost hail-like rain. I did find the fit of the large helmet-compatible hood to be a source of frustration, as it was difficult to get a comfortable fit when not wearing a helmet. Even with a ballcap on, the cinch cord pressed annoyingly against the side of my head and ears (more on this in “Features” below)

  Performance Weather Protection We’ve worn a number of Outdoor Research’s 3-layer AscentShell jackets, from their impressive Interstellar to the ski-specific Skyward, so we came into this test with high expectations. And in many ways, the new Microgravity Jacket delivered. I first donned the jacket while hiking in very strong Patagonian winds, and it performed like a proper 3-layer hardshell.

Even with a ballcap on, the cinch cord pressed annoyingly against the side of my head and ears (more on this in “Features” below). But otherwise, all-around coverage was good, and you can further block out weather with Velcro-adjustable cuffs and hem cinches at each side. Where the Microgravity falls short is in truly harsh conditions

Switchback Travel | Outdoor Research Microgravity Jacket Review

 At 14 ounces—three ounces heavier than OR’s predecessor four-season, three-layer, AscentShell jacket, the Interstellar Jacket (but also 50 bucks cheaper)—it’s not among the lightest fully featured rain shells. But that’s partly explained by the beefier fabric, which broadens its range of seasons and activities. The Microgravity stuffs into its left hand pocket (which has a carabiner clip), packing downto the size of a cantaloupe, comparable to rain shells with similar features, weight, and intended uses.

 Fully seam-taped, the Microgravity easily shed steady rain and wet snow, cut wind, and can certainly handle the worst conditions most backpackers and dayhikers encounter. But the supple, 20×45-denier fabric with a 30-denier knit backer has the durability for harder use in the mountains, from peak bagging to winter backcountry tours.

The Outdoor Research Microgravity AscentShell Jacket. As with other OR outerwear, the comfortable fit proved spacious enough for a couple of base layers and a midweight insulation piece underneath without ever feeling bulky, restrictive, or obtrusive. OR’s DynamicReach underarm panels and the inherent mechanical stretch in the fabric deliver very good freedom of movement—the jacket body barely rises up when raising my arms overhead. The four zippered pockets—two each at chest and hand positions—have mesh linings and room for drying out warm gloves and keeping a phone out of the rain

backcountry.com Whether hiking steep hills in steady rain in temps from the 40s to the 30s Fahrenheit or backcountry skiing in heavily falling, wet snow, OR’s Microgravity AscentShell Jacket keep me dry going both uphill and downhill, thanks to the solid waterproofing and exceptional breathability that have been the distinguishing attributes of this line of OR’s rain shells. But with the Microgravity, OR improved the durability—and dropped the price by 50 bucks. Hi, I’m Michael Lanza, creator of The Big Outside
