So Max, I have two questions if you would be kind enough to reply. And according to Max’s review, the Uberlayer is the same warmth as the Proton LT and Nano Air. The Ascendant uses the same weight of PolarTec Alpha insulation as the reviewed Uberlayer, so I assume they would both be the same warmth. The OR Ascendant hoody weighs a claimed 13.0 oz, which is a whole 1.4 oz lighter than the top-recommended Arcteryx Proton LT. Especially during this most recent cold snap, these two were key in keeping me warm and smiling in addition to moving fast.Jeff, that was my thought exactly. A great piece for ice climbing or ski touring as it pushes any moister through to the outside and I’m pretty sure it would pack small if I ever did take it off.īayard Russell: Ascendant Hoody & Deviator Hoody, “Whether I’m headed out to guide or out for a personal day of climbing, the Ascendant & Deviator Hoody’s are two pieces I always grab. I wear it as my outer layer when I’m moving at a moderate pace and I’m happy to have it as insulation under a hard or soft shell on cold climbing days. It’s comfort through the range of temperatures is remarkable. Peter Doucette: Ascendant Hoody, “I’ve been practically living in my Ascendent jacket this fall and winter. I rarely leave home without these in my layering system! Throw them on over a pair of long underwear, top it off with the cirque pant and you’re ready for the coldest of ice climbing days. The Uberlayer is a jacket that I wear every time I go climbing climbing and just hanging out.”Īlexa Siegel: Radiant Tights, “The Radiant tights are the perfect mid weight layer to keep your legs and the rest of you warm. Matt McCormick: Ascendant Hoody & Uberlayer Jacket, “The Ascendant Hoody is a great active insulation piece which breathes well and also keeps you warm while belaying. I used both the jacket and pants exclusively on my recent ice climbing trip to the Canadian Rockies and stayed so comfortable.” Get one!”īryan Gilmore: AlpineIce Jacket & Pants, ” My favorite piece (or pieces) is the Alpenice Pants and Jacket this stuff rules for cold days ice climbing. I basically haven’t taken it off since October. It’s so soft and comfortable and can be worn as a layer or on it’s own because it’s durable and breathable. The Deviator Hoody, Uberlayer Jacket, Radiant Tights & AlpineIce Pants and Jacket all go strong votes as well! Check out what each athlete said is their go to piece(s) this winter!Įmilie Drinkwater: Women’s Ascendant Hoody, “My favorite piece right now is definitely the Ascendant Hoody. You know, the piece you can’t leave home without and is probably really stinky from you wearing it all too much! Surprisingly enough FOUR, yes four out of the 6 OR athletes wrote us back and told us the Ascendant Hoody was one of their favorites. Hey there gear junkies! Are you still looking to refine your ice climbing kit or what your layering system is? We thought we would ask the Outdoor Research athletes that are coming to guide, what pieces are their “must haves” this winter.
