Outdoor Research’s proprietary AscentShell technology uses an electrospinning process to create a three-layer construction that breathes faster, weighs less, stretches more, and far surpasses the comfort of traditional waterproof membranes. Never crunchy or noisy, AscentShell is just as comfortable as a soft shell, with the performance of a hard shell. Air permeable and breathable, AscentShell vents perspiration and excess heat during aerobic activity, while its light weight saves precious energy on demanding endeavors.
