Why We Like The Skytour AscentShell Jacket
Us serious backcountry tourists seek the prestigious performance of the award-winning Skytour AscentShell Jacket. Developed with nothing but backcountry skiing and snowboarding in mind, this valued jacket offers waterproof protection that doesn't sacrifice ventilation and breathability. Its advanced AscentShell 3L membrane shields us from the worst winter weather with a supple design, meaning we're able to trek and carve through the day's snow with more mobility and more comfort. If we really want the most out of the AscentShell, we grab a pair of Outdoor Research's matching SkyTour bibs and clip them into the jacket for even better coverage.

GREAT light ski jacket!
Water resistant. Worn in a couple of heavy rains and stayed comfortably dry. Fit, as advertised. Wrist velcro sizing and zippers are an improvement over previous models. Style and color really stand out and garner compliments!

Perfectly fits my size and high quality made
I am 6 foot tall with a 40.5'' chest. And M size perfectly fits me. Haven't tried it on yet. The quality looks pretty good.

Excellent Product
The perfect Ski shell, so light and flexible but holds in heat and keeps water out. Very happy with this purchase

Good looking jacket but lacks durability
I bought this jacket last month and after only 9 days of resort riding the jacket already shows signs of distress at and around the seams. Disappointed and wished I spent the extra money to get something better.

All in all a great shell however...
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
To me, anyway, this jacket seems to be made very well. I thought it had a powder skirt, which it doesn't, but that was most likely my mistake. As for sizing. I generally wear a Medium to medium slim. I have a long torso at 5' 9' with a 29" inseam. Yet, this jacket was long in the body and 4" long in the sleeve, So order a size down and take your chances. I am returning mine.

Great Jacket - Holds Up to the abuse
Had the jacket for 2.5 weeks and have put in 11 days on the mountain. it has been my new go to jacket. 7 days in the backcountry and 4 resort days. conditions have ranged from a sunny day to full on storm skiing. The Skytour jacket has shown to be a great fit, holds up in weather keeping me dry on wet days, while being breathable during the uphill climb on the skin track. The material has shown to be durable while charging through the trees and slapping branches (other jackets have not held up).

Great shell for touring or inbounds!
I've just used this shell touring. All the ventilation zippers make it the perfect jacket to wear. The pits and front (from top or bottom) can be opened to air out. There's great storage with the 2 front chest pockets and 2 hand pockets. It runs a little big (I'm 6'1" using the Large) so it's got room to layer below for really cold days.

Initial Reaction to Outdoor Research AscentShell was excitement and relief that I purchased this item. I am looking forward to seeing how well it performs from repeated days of backcountry skiing.

Well designed jacket
I had to return because it was too large, but all of the pockets were great. I like to how much room there was in the neck and hood. Jacket felt bomber. Unfortunately they were out of my size.
