ISPO Award Winner 2025: Vita Shell

"Creating the Outopia Vita Shell Jacket was a true collaboration between passionate trail runners and industry leaders. Partnering with Pertex, we found the perfect balance of lightweight protection and breathability in a shell that packs down effortlessly. From community feedback to countless wear tests, every detail was refined with purpose—designed by trail runners, for trail runners, to push boundaries and deliver performance you didn’t know you were missing."Aaron Jackson, co-founder of Outopia

Designed for extreme conditions

With the Vita Shell Jacket, which is certified for competition, Outopia has developed a waterproof and windproof jacket specifically designed for trail running and alpine expeditions. It is ideal for unpredictable mountain weather. The jacket meets the strict requirements of ultra-runs such as the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) and boasts a waterproof rating of 20,000 mm, a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²·24h, and high abrasion resistance. Weighing only 190 g for men's size S, it is also particularly lightweight, which is especially relevant for ultrarunning.

The jacket is made of Pertex Shield 3L, a three-layer material that provides protection from rain and wind while remaining highly breathable. Seamlessly welded, extra-flat 7D seams minimize chafing and prevent water ingress. The jacket's design accommodates the movements of trail running. A triple-adjustable hood and anatomically shaped cuffs protect you from wind and rain without restricting your vision or mobility.
