Item # ODR0436

When nasty weather strikes in the mountains, you need the versatility and protection of the Outdoor Research Men’s Metaphor Jacket. This three-in-one jacket features a waterproof breathable Gore-Tex Paclite Shell with Gore-Tex Pro Shell reinforcements, as well as a warm removable layer stuffed with EnduraLoft synthetic insulation. For cold, nasty storms, wear the whole system together for warmth and water protection. For warm, rainy conditions, zip up the shell, which features a stowable hood and full pit-zips for high-output days. When you’re stuck at a cold, dry belay waiting for your partner to finish the pitch, slip into the insulated liner jacket, stuff your hands into the lined pockets, and cinch up the dual hem draw cords to keep the chill out.

Bottom Line:

Fully functional in any mountain conditions.
