The Outside Magazine "2012 Gear of the Year" award-winning Outdoor Research Men's Axiom Jacket is a storm shell, engineered for fast-and-light alpine climbs, and all-day lapping of untracked slopes. Innovatively lightweight and extremely breathable GORE-TEX Active shell technology, which is half the mass of the standard GORE-TEX membrane, provides the waterproof protection for which GORE-TEX is famous, but transfers moisture like no other waterproof shell fabric available. The incredible breathability negates the need for pit zips, saving weight, in this amazingly streamlined, durable and functional shell. Grab the Axiom when you're planning a highly aerobic ascent in rugged conditions. Even if you start huffing and puffing on the fourth lap of your favorite backcountry stash, it will still be breathing easy.
