We saw a lot of innovative new gear at the 2016 Outdoor Retailer Summer Market, but the Ascendant Jacket from Outdoor Research stands out from the rest. This jacket doesn’t hit shelves until 2017, but we got our hands on it early and are loving the new insulation technology that OR has introduced with this ultra-breathable piece. Watch to see why this jacket will be an essential part of your 2017 ski kit.
