Vesper Insulated Hooded Jacket delivers breathable warmth with low-bulk stretch

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"This hoodie is my go-to when I need warmth without the weight. It packs small, insulates like a champ, and layers perfectly under a shell. I’ve used it for everything from alpine starts to in-town errands."


We reach for the Vesper Insulated Hooded Jacket when cold conditions call for lightweight warmth that won't slow us down. Designed by Outdoor Research and built with bluesign® approved materials, this jacket is part of the brand's most versatile insulation system—offering excellent weather resistance, strategic stretch, and serious breathability.


The secret lies in its hybrid construction. VerticalX™ Eco SR synthetic insulation provides warmth even when wet, while the ripstop shell fends off wind and light precipitation. On the move, we stay agile thanks to mapped stretch panels and a streamlined fit. When the weather clears or we hit the trailhead, it compresses into our pack without a second thought—always ready for the next mission.

Versatility at it's finest

Perfect for days when a light layer isn’t enough and equally reliable as your everyday cold weather coat. Its soft, breathable design keeps you cozy without overheating, even when you're on the move. Plus, it’s a great piece to layer with, being slim enough to fit under a shell, yet warm enough to stand on its own.
