Outdoor Research Ultima Soft Shell Hoodie | All-Season Mountain Shell

Built for Motion. Ready for Weather.
The Ultima Softshell Hoodie is your all-season alpine shell... tough enough for the trail, mobile enough for the climb, and light enough to keep in your pack year-round. Engineered with stretch, weather resistance, and breathability, it keeps pace through every layer of terrain and forecast.

Constructed from bluesign® approved recycled nylon with movement-mirroring stretch, the Ultima delivers abrasion resistance without sacrificing comfort. The brushed interior is soft against the skin, while the articulated fit and gusseted cuffs ensure zero restriction. Whether you're hiking peaks, skinning ridgelines, or rucking on windy range days, this layer flexes with you and shields you from surprise storms.

Why We Love It

This one hits that sweet spot... packs light, wears tough, and moves like part of your kit. The Ultima Softshell Hoodie is the kind of shell you throw on at the trailhead and forget about until you're back at base.
