Outdoor Research Debuts Two New Mid-Layer Designs
References: outdoorresearch & outdoorresearch
Outdoor Research has introduced two versatile insulation layers designed for summer adventurers facing unpredictable temperature drops — the synthetic SuperStrand LT Hoodie and down-filled Transcendent collection.
The SuperStrand LT Hoodie utilizes proprietary VerticalX™ SuperStrand technology to combine the benefits of down and synthetic insulation in an ultralight package that compresses to palm-size. The silhouette features a unique quilting pattern that maximizes warmth distribution. Its bluesign® approved ripstop nylon shell provides water and wind resistance while maintaining breathability. For those preferring natural insulation, the relaunched Transcendent collection offers 800+ fill power responsibly sourced down in a recycled nylon shell. This garment balances technical performance with casual styling through distinctive baffle construction.
