DESCRIPTION

The word on the street is the Outdoor Research Women's Rumor Fleece Jacket out-performs your average fleece in cold-weather aerobic pursuits. We checked it out, and the gossip's true. A stretchy outer face resists abrasion and deflects light wind and flurries, while a microfleece backing draws moisture from your skin and offers warm insulation. A balaclava-style hood wraps around your neck and the sides of your head for warmth on a cold daybecause hoods really shouldn't be just for looks. Thumb loops hold the sleeves just where you want 'em. Slip this jacket on for a day of snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, or slip it under a weatherproof shell for downhill skiing.
