Outdoor Research: Optimizer Jacket

Weighing in at just under 13 ounces, the Optimizer Jacket ($399) from Outdoor Research is perfect for those looking for fast-and-light performance with a dash of style. The shell features the Gore-Tex Active 2.0 membrane touted for its balance of weather protection, venting capabilities, and light construction.

A number of Spring 18 Outdoor Research styles including the Interstellar Jacket and Optimizer Jacket were recently featured in an Outdoor Industry Association press release HERE.

The Brewer 2.0 ($100) from Astral is a prime example of yet another footwear trend: trail-ready shoes that fit in around town. A sticky G-Rubber outsole provides traction on a variety of surfaces, while holes along the midsole, vamp, and tongue drain water and ventilate.

Osprey is launching a super light line of packs designed with NanoFly, a fabric that integrates ultrahigh molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) ripstop and nylon. Translation: It’s impressively strong for its weight. The Lumina 60 ($270) is a women’s thru-hiker pack that brings together high performance fibers with durable outer fabrics.

The Lumina 60 has also been featured on Gear Junkie HERE.
