Deep Dive
Why We Like The Outdoor Research Hemispheres II Jacket
The Hemispheres II Jacket features burly and breathable GORE-TEX technology that keeps us sheltered from the elements while releasing excess heat, run after run. Through most of the jacket, GORE-TEX C-Knit fabric is soft and quiet without sacrificing the sturdiness for which we trust the brand. At the center back and wrists, GORE-TEX Stretch panels offer even greater mobility, making this snow jacket ideal for our most active days on the mountain.
