We love taking superior performance fabrics, typically reserved for outdoor purists and using them for highly functional, urban and travel designs. Such is the case with our new ‘Ascent’ jacket. The ‘Ascent’ Merino Softshell Jacket is a superb garment for broad ranging outdoor use including snow sports, mountaineering, hiking, camping, cycling and general adventure travel.
It features Schoeller NanoSphere® fabric – hyper-premium, light weight, 4-way stretch softshell material fused with 100% pure Tasmanian Merino wool which is museling-free, to form a remarkably flexible garment that is totally water repellent while retaining breathability and windproof qualities.
Starting with the NanoSphere® fabric, we added Core YKK® hand pockets designed to avoid pack straps, a two-way YKK® main zipper, YKK® chest pocket, articulated elbows and tapered, adjustable, snap cuffs. Importantly the ‘Ascent’ jacket’s is hyper-light, weighing only 550 grams! And it’s striking in both appearance and handle.
So, what is NanoSphere®?
Nature showed us how. The leaves of certain plants always stay clean because dirt cannot adhere to their finely-structured surfaces. Rain drops roll off and, at the same time, dirt particles are washed off of the leaves. This function is also known as the self-cleaning effect.
On classic surfaces, water, oil and dirt are absorbed by the fabric as the larger contact area allows them to adhere better. On the ‘Ascent’ jacket’s NanoSphere® surface, nanoparticles form a fine structure. Water, dirt and oil only remain on the peaks of the nano structures and have a diminished contact area. Adhesion is significantly reduced and the drops simply roll off or can be rinsed off with water.

Women’s Body Measurements
BUST: Measure the circumference of your chest. Place one end of the tape measure at the fullest part of your bust, wrap it around (under your armpits, around your shoulder blades, and back to the front) to get the measurement.
WAIST: Measure the circumference of your waist. Use the tape to circle your waist (sort of like a belt would) at your natural waistline, which is located above your belly button and below your rib cage. (If you bend to the side, the crease that forms is your natural waistline.)
HIP: Measure the circumference of your hips. Start at one hip and wrap the tape measure around your rear, around the other hip, and back to where you started. Make sure the tape is over the largest part of your hips.
INSIDE LEG: This is the distance from the uppermost inner part of your thigh to the bottom of your ankle. If you have a pair of pants that fit you perfectly, measure the inseam of the pants, again from the crotch to the hem.

Athletic Fit
More of a “tailored” fit that is tighter across the middle and shoulder sections in tops and tighter across the backside, upper thigh and lower leg sections in leggings.
Slim Fit
A snug, close-to-the body fit for low bulk, layering. Clothing in this style don’t have extra fabric hanging or draping anywhere.
Regular Fit
Neither snug, nor loose, these garments are worn solo or over other layers. Regular fit clothing tends to fit most body types comfortably and have a little extra fabric than slim fit.
Relaxed Fit
Relaxed refers to a fit that’s looser than regular, but not baggy. Typically, relaxed clothing provide a comfortable, looser fit.

Summary for Mens Ascent Merino Soft Shell Jacket
Average Score: 4.67 (3 ratings)
5/5
Perfect allrounder
This is my fourth of these 'types' of soft shell jackets over the years (previous ones from different brands/companies). The water repellent material on this one works at least as well as those others and makes it easy for a quick spot clean when needed. Same for the 'wind proofing'. Just what you need/want from this type of technical wear. The major benefits of the WW one over the others is how light it is, how comfortable it is, and how well it regulates body temperature. I'm guessing these are down to the merino inner layer - brilliant. I think I've worn mine every day in Tassie since it arrived (a few months ago), the walking commute to work, to the shops, to the bush/day walks, to Parkrun(walk) with the young fella. It's got a bit of style too, so it's a perfect allrounder. I've been a long-time customer of WW for their socks and base-layers for multi-day hikes (near 20 years), but they've nailed this outerwear garment too, well done!

The jacket is a great fit
The jacket is a great fit in both girth, shoulders and core length and the collar is perfect as it doesn't bulk up under the chin area. I probably find the sleeve length just a wee bit too short and it comes back on the forearm if I stretch out my arms (simulate reaching up high for example). All in all though, a great jacket.
