Outdoor Research Skytour LT Jacket - Women's Thyme, XL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I wore this on a long backcountry tour with a mix of skinning and storm skiing, and the mesh stash pockets swallowed my skins without a second thought. The articulated fit meant I never felt boxed in during the climb, and the hood locked down tight over my helmet the second the wind picked up.""Backcountry touring means constant transitions, from a slow, sweaty skin track to a fast, cold descent, and the Skytour LT Jacket is built to handle both without a wardrobe change. Skin up through calm morning air with the jacket barely noticeable, then zip in fully before dropping into a storm-affected line, trusting the 3L waterproof shell to keep pace with the shift in conditions. The large chest pockets stash gloves or a map within reach, while dual mesh interior pockets are roomy enough to carry skins between laps, keeping the whole day moving without ever slowing down to dig through a pack."
