Outdoor Research Men's Shadow Wind Hoodie($145.00Value)

Description

Packable windbreaker for running, hiking, and ski touring Stretch-woven nylon fabric moves freely during high-output activity Wind and light water resistance handles variable mountain conditions Stowable hood deploys fast when conditions shift Chest pocket doubles as a stuff sack for pack-friendly storage Some days the wind is the whole problem—not the cold, not the rain, just a relentless headwind that drains warmth and momentum. The Outdoor Research Shadow Wind Hooded Jacket handles that problem without adding weight, bulk, or restriction to the equation. At 8 ounces and stuffed into its own chest pocket, it disappears into a pack, chalk bag pocket, or jacket layer until the moment it's needed, then deploys in seconds. Outdoor Research built the Shadow Wind Hooded Jacket around a 20D stretch-woven nylon and spandex blend that moves with the body instead of fighting it—a meaningful distinction on skintrack pushes, technical scrambles, or long trail runs where arm swing and shoulder mobility matter. The slim fit keeps the profile low without feeling restrictive, while light water resistance sheds light moisture and wind-driven drizzle. A stowable hood tucks away when skies are clear and deploys quickly when they aren't, and elastic cuffs with an adjustable hem seal the edges without fuss. Two zippered hand pockets round out a feature set that puts the Shadow Wind comfortably ahead of bare-bones windbreakers that sacrifice function for packability.
