OUTDOOR RESEARCH TRANSCENDENT HOODY

As we head into the cold, damp days of winter, the golden equation for staying warm and dry is layering: breathable baselayer + warm mid layer + waterproof shell = perfection. Bring in Transcendent, Outdoor Research’s bestselling line of lightweight down midlayers, and you have the perfect filling for this toasty sandwich of technical performance. Regardless of the weather, regardless of your activity level, the Transcendent’s versatile design is packed with features to keep you effortlessly warm and comfortable; and coincidentally, it almost packs down to the size of a sandwich too. Redesigned for 2018, the Transcendent range offers the same trusted performance and detailing – but with modern design lines, deeper baffles, beautifully soft fabric and added fill power.

Fabric

20D ripstop 100% polyester ensures lightweight packability with good strength-to-weight ratios. This tightly woven fabric seals in feathers, resists wind, and is treated with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) to protect against light rain and spills.

Responsibly sourced down

Outdoor Research down is certified Responsible Down Standard, a best practice benchmark which aims to ensure waterfowl are treated humanely at every stage of farming.

Down insulation

Nature’s best insulation, down creates high-loft clusters that trap air and body heat. It offers supreme warmth-to-weight ratios, incredible compressibility and fantastic breathability, making it a favourite with adventurers spending extended time in extreme cold conditions. It’s also incredibly resilient, and if properly cared for, will last you for many years.

Brilliant baffles

The contoured baffle construction creates a streamlined fit that easily layers under waterproofs and rucksack harnesses. Deep baffles allow the down to loft, increasing the warmth and compressibility of the jacket.

Designed by adventure

Outdoor Research is based in Seattle, USA, gateway to a vast outdoor playground that provides endless opportunities for adventure in testing conditions. And thanks to the Infinite Guarantee, Outdoor Research gear is guaranteed for the product’s lifetime.

Packability

Transcendent jackets are lightweight and compressible enough to stuff into their own pockets, making them easy to carry as the ultimate insurance against cold weather. Not only do they pack small, they double up as fleecy pillows during long journeys and overnight trips.

Adjustable hood

Saves carrying a hat. Stays put on blustery days.

Smart pockets

The Transcendent range comes with a chest pocket with internal media access, handwarmer pockets with warm tricot lining, and internal pockets that are big enough to stash anything from valuables to winter hats and gloves.
