Outdoor Research partners Pertex for softshell Shield+

09/01/2014
Outdoor apparel maker Outdoor Research has developed a ski collection featuring a new softshell version of Pertex Shield which was developed in collaboration with Pertex. 

The fabric fetaures a nylon and spandex stretch softshell face, Pertex’s membrane and a grid-fleece backer. 

“Our goal in working with Pertex was to create one fabric that could address the diverse array of needs presented by the ski athlete,” said Jordan Wand, vice-president of product and marketing at Outdoor Research. “This pairing of materials balances all the competing demands of weather protection, warmth, great movement, breathability and moisture transfer.”

Outdoor Research worked with athletes to build a complete collection for the new ski season, including a removable powder skirt that integrates with the pants to seal out snow, a goggle wipe with tether, a reflector and wrist closures that integrate with undercuff gloves. The Trickshot Pants feature an avalanche beacon pocket with clip-in retention and adjustable tabs at the waist.
