outdoor research uberlayer womens review

Being a Yorkshireman I put off the spend for ages, it’s not cheap but the Uberlayer is an outstanding jacket. I don’t know how it works, but it does, and amazingly well. For once, the marketing bumf from OR is totally correct - “Perfect for aerobic climbs and ski tours, this backcountry chameleon provides the warmth of a synthetic puffy one moment and the breathability and quick-dry performance of a fleece the next, all without forcing you to add, remove or adjust your layers.” The Polartec® Alpha insulation is a big step forward and really impressive, I intend to replace my aging Primaloft stuff with it. Be ready for your next adventure with durable and comfortable women's outdoor jackets, pants and tops. On a couple of nights when temperatures really dropped the jacket was very comfortable to sleep in too. Women's award-winning outdoor apparel featuring waterproof rain jackets, warm down jackets, bright and breathable hoodies, comfortable leggings and more. On resting the additional layer was often frozen as it had caught the moisture escaping outwards through the Uberlayer. If temperatures dropped or the dreaded wind appeared I added an additional layer or two of Primaloft.

Whatever the day, the Uberlayer jacket was always there, unnoticeable, doing the job perfectly. Even when working quite hard - 3 weeks of kit, fuel and food weighs a fair bit! After trying to move everything at once we quickly settled into a carry, cache and back carry routine. Over a merino base layer and expedition weight fleece the Uberlayer kept me warm and extremely comfortable, somehow being very insulating but at the same time, totally breathable. It may surprise you to read my very expensive and lovely expedition down jacket only came out on a couple of evenings for extended cooking / snow melting sessions. There aren’t many days I haven’t worn the jacket since, it’s warm and you don’t really ever notice you are wearing it. Having coveted the jacket for several months in the Jagged Globe shop I finally made the purchase on returning from Nepal in October. Nice touch: the mesh-backed pockets do double-duty as chest vents.

There were a couple of surprises for me on last month's trip the Alaskan Range -40degC doesn’t seem that cold (unless there’s a wind!) and my Outdoor Research Uberlayer jacket is awesome. The nylon shell is windproof, while stretchy merino panels on the arms keep this piece snug without inhibiting movement.
