Outdoor Research Women’s Aspire 3L Waterproof Rain Jacket

Built for wet weekends and active days, the Outdoor Research Women’s Aspire 3L Jacket delivers dependable, breathable protection with sustainable materials and unmatched ventilation. Designed for hiking, cycling, and all-day rain, it’s a technical shell you can trust when the weather turns.

Engineered for rain—and built to move. The Outdoor Research Women’s Aspire 3L Jacket is a premium waterproof shell designed for active pursuits in wet conditions. Whether you’re hiking, cycling, or navigating a rainy weekend, this jacket balances weather protection, breathability, and freedom of movement.

The AscentShell™ Dry 3-layer fabric is fully seam-taped, waterproof, windproof, and breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape while keeping rain out. Mechanical stretch enhances comfort and mobility, while TorsoFlo™ venting lets you unzip the jacket from hem to bicep for rapid heat dumping or easy access to layers and pockets—without removing the jacket.

Finished with a Nikwax Direct.Dry™ DWR treatment and durable YKK® AquaGuard® zippers, the Aspire 3L is designed for sustained performance in challenging weather. Thoughtful features like a fully adjustable hood, bonded brim, and secure pocketing make it a go-to shell for serious rain protection.
