Developed in close collaboration with Outdoor Research's athlete team, the Hemispheres kit is designed to combat the harsh realities of backcountry skiing. The brand uses 100-percent recycled nylon in the three-layer Gore-Tex construction, yielding a Bluesign-approved kit that's as durable as it is environmentally friendly. Both pieces feel super lightweight and are fully seam-taped to ensure no moisture creeps through.
Pit vents prevent you from overheating up top, while Kevlar-reinforced cuffs on the bib protect the fabric from tearing on exposed rocks or your own ski edges. Both the jacket and bib have ample storage for all of your backcountry necessities and is designed true to size.
