By Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Love the Outdoor Research Helium AscentShell Jacket
The Outdoor Research Helium AscentShell Jacket is a remarkable combination of ultralight weight, exceptional durability, and outstanding functionality. Designed with a highly breathable construction, this jacket eliminates the need for vents, allowing you to move freely and comfortably without the extra weight and bulk. Its 3-layer build provides excellent protection against strong winds and heavy snowfall, ensuring your comfort and safety in any weather condition.
To keep the elements at bay, this jacket features adjustable cuffs, a cinchable hood, and a tight hem. This way, you can easily personalize the fit to suit your preferences and prevent any wind or cold from seeping in. The underarm panels allow for unrestricted movement, providing you with full range of motion without raising the hem. Additionally, the harness-friendly details enable easy access to your essential gear, whether it's stored in the jacket's pockets or attached to your harness.
