Outdoor Research expands its high-performance waterproof outdoor collection in the Fall 2025 season with a comprehensive range of technical apparel designed for various weather conditions.
The outerwear lineup features innovative styles that emphasize durability, breathability, and weather protection. These include the Hemispheres Team GORE-TEX 3L Jacket & Bib for freeride enthusiasts, the Powderverse Jacket & Pant for resort and backcountry skiing, and the mid-weight Cloudchaser 3L Jacket & Bib for backcountry touring. The insulation collection prioritizes lightweight warmth with the SuperStrand™ XT Hoodie and Vesper line. While not waterproof, these silhouettes stand out for their durability, thermal efficiency, and use of sustainable insulation technology.
The high-performance waterproof outdoor collection is rounded out with the Hemispheres Team GORE-TEX 3L Mitts and Stormbound GORE-TEX Down Mitts. The former design incorporates advanced insulation and a removable liner for versatility, while the latter combines down and synthetic insulation with a plush fleece lining for extreme cold.
