By combining synthetic PrimaLoft Sport insulation with this shell fabric, Outdoor Research makes the Chaos jacket ideal for ice and alpine climbing where staying dry is a major concern. An internal mesh pocket holds a water bottle and provides a warm place to stash your gloves until the next pitch. This Outdoor Research jacket keeps you warm and dry whether you're belaying a two-hour ice pitch or embarking on a frigid backcountry ski tour."

"After picking up and loving the REI, quantum, zip sleeve, lightweight, primaloft jacket; I became interested in the potential for the swiss army knife of all jackets. The hooded version of a primaloft jacket, with possibly more fill.

Researched for a while and the Outdoor Research Chaos came into focus."
