Built for wet weekends and active days, the Outdoor Research Women’s Aspire 3L Jacket delivers dependable, breathable protection with sustainable materials and unmatched ventilation. Designed for hiking, cycling, and all-day rain, it’s a technical shell you can trust when the weather turns.
Engineered for rain—and built to move. The Outdoor Research Women’s Aspire 3L Jacket is a premium waterproof shell designed for active pursuits in wet conditions. Whether you’re hiking, cycling, or navigating a rainy weekend, this jacket balances weather protection, breathability, and freedom of movement.
The AscentShell™ Dry 3-layer fabric is fully seam-taped, waterproof, windproof, and breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape while keeping rain out. Mechanical stretch enhances comfort and mobility, while TorsoFlo™ venting lets you unzip the jacket from hem to bicep for rapid heat dumping or easy access to layers and pockets—without removing the jacket.
Finished with a Nikwax Direct.Dry™ DWR treatment and durable YKK® AquaGuard® zippers, the Aspire 3L is designed for sustained performance in challenging weather. Thoughtful features like a fully adjustable hood, bonded brim, and secure pocketing make it a go-to shell for serious rain protection.
