Our Most Versatile Insulator for Year-Round Mountain Adventure
Outdoor Research says:
The Vesper Insulated Hoodie is the most versatile insulator in the OR collection, offering breathable warmth and weather resistance for alpine starts, long backcountry days, and shoulder-season hikes.
Built with lightweight, recycled bluesign® approved fabrics, the Vesper features VerticalX™ ECO SR insulation, which balances warmth, stretch, and breathability. Its wind- and water-resistant shell provides protection from unpredictable weather while maintaining comfort during high-output activities. Thoughtful design details like the insulated hood with brim, elastic cuffs, and adjustable drawcord hem optimize fit and functionality, while zippered hand and chest pockets offer secure storage for small essentials. The left-hand pocket doubles as a stuff sack, making this hoodie ultralight and easy to pack.
An essential layer for year-round mountain adventure and active outdoor pursuits, the Vesper Insulated Hoodie delivers performance-driven warmth, weather protection, and packability in a lightweight design.
