Outdoor Research Men's Celestial Jacket Outdoor Research: Men's Celestial Jacket

At about 10 oz this amazing full-featured Gore-Tex® jacket hardly makes a dent in the day pack.

While garment weight is always a key factor on technical backpacking and mountaineering trips some ultralight minimalist jackets lose functionality in the quest for shedding excess ounces. This certainly isn't the case for the Outdoor Research Celestial Jacket. While it weighs a smidgen over ten ounces (in large size) the Outdoor Research Celestial Jacket packs plenty of extras in stereo like a dual-pull adjustable hood dual slash napoleon pockets and double-separating dual TorsoFlo™ vent zippers beneath the sleeves. All of the lightweight and highly breathable GORE-TEX® PacLite® fabric is full-seam taped and features water-resistant zippers. If you're counting ounces and features the Outdoor Research Celestial Jacket is the right balance--but if you're playing rough around abrasive surfaces consider a backcountry jacket with weightier reinforcement materials.

This is a 10 oz. Pac-lite shell thats taken to save weight and can be counted on when needed. Great color and fit with a high level of quality. I have a few other ultra-light shells but this may be my first pick for long backpacking trips.

Excellent workmanship faultless seams and overall well engineered product. Zippers a bit tough to pull but they are waterproof
