DETAILS & SPECS
Best for wet, active adventures, the Guardian II AscentShell Jacket kicks your expectations about breathable waterproof jackets up a notch. Feature-packed and performance-driven, the Guardian gives you every ounce of protection you demand, with the details you need to keep hiking inclement weather. This season, we’ve upgraded the Guardian’s pit zips to TorsoFlo™ Hem-to-Pit venting, and added a reflective hit for visibility on a dreary commute. Since 2016, Outdoor Research’s proprietary AscentShell™ technology uses an electrospun process to create a 3L construction that breathes faster, weighs less, stretches more, and far surpasses the comfort of traditional waterproof membranes.
