Gear: Outdoor Research Igneo jacket

By Mike Martins Explorebigsky.com Staff Writer

Thermore®, the insulating force behind the
Igneo, reduces thickness without sacrificing
warmth. Waterproof and breathable, it has
high-end features but won’t break the bank.

Also: all the pockets you’d expect, plus a detachable powder skirt, removable hood, and
double-sliding pit zips. My favorite feature is
the simplest – the ThumbDrive cuff, which
keeps a tight connection between your sleeve
and glove.
