Hemispheres II Jacket & Bib

Outdoor Research

Apparel Jacket: $649.00

Bibs: $649.00

The Hemispheres II jacket and bib make a lightweight and relaxed-fit backcountry kit that puts a premium on freedom-of-movement. Made with bluesign-approved two-layer Gore-Tex fabric, the jacket and bib are built to withstand winter’s harshest weather. While the entirety of the jacket and bib are easy to move around in, Gore-Tex Stretch panels on the center of the back, hood, wrists and crotch, give you even more mobility as you make your way around the backcountry, or just the back of the parking lot. 

The bib features outer-thigh vents and the jacket has unique side vents, dubbed Torsoflo, spanning from the armpit to the bottom hem and allowing you to vent a little or a lot. A button on the hem lets you keep it snapped together or really open the windows to cool down fast. Quick release buckles and reinforced scuff guards on the bib are practical features that are sometimes overlooked but very nice to have and an avalanche beacon clip in the pocket is a nice touch for those who venture into the backcountry more often than not.
