By Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Love the Outdoor Research Helium AscentShell Jacket
When it comes to weight and breathability, the Outdoor Research Helium AscentShell Jacket is our go-to choice for fast-and-light alpine adventures. It outperforms heavier hard shells by combining the lightweight durability of Pertex Diamond Fuse fabric with the air permeable and highly breathable waterproofing of a 3-layer AscentShell membrane. The result is a jacket that is both lightweight and breathable, while also being weatherproof enough to withstand harsh conditions.
Not only does the Helium take up minimal space in our packs, but it also layers easily between our mid-layers, backpacks, and harnesses. This makes it perfect for high-output activities in the mountains.
