The Uberlayer performed reasonably well in our tests. It weighs four ounces more than similar jackets but does not make up for the extra weight with added comfort, durability, warmth, or lower cost. Do you have experience with Alpha not being durable? The UberLayer Hooded Jacket features Polartec Alpha water resistant and highly compressible insulation between a polyester, moisture wicking. Overview The Outdoor Research Uberlayer is an active insulation jacket that scores below average in our ratings. I’ve not noticed my fleece layers losing loft. I also have the Patagonia Nano Air (like a fellow traveler on my Patagonia trip), but my Uberlayer was clearly the better choice in terms of warmth, wind protection, and comfort (moves with you).

First, how do you think the OR Ascendant hooded jacket would compare in this review?Īnd, you state that PolarTec Alpha insulation is not durable? Can you please explain why?

This jacket delivers and seems to be very durable. Buy OR M' S Uberlayer Hooded Jacket Mens Uber Cold Belt Hat Jacket 243088 from newbecca, provides best taobao agent and taobao english site service.

The Uberlayer jacket is only offered in a hooded style. And according to Max’s review, the Uberlayer is the same warmth as the Proton LT and Nano Air. The Ascendant uses the same weight of PolarTec Alpha insulation as the reviewed Uberlayer, so I assume they would both be the same warmth. The OR Ascendant hoody weighs a claimed 13.0 oz, which is a whole 1.4 oz lighter than the top-recommended Arcteryx Proton LT.
