The Headwall is Outdoor Research's top-tier hardshell, built from 75-denier recycled 3-layer ePE GORE-TEX with fully taped seams. Its signature feature is TorsoFlo venting: two-way side zippers open from hem to bicep, so you can dump heat without taking off your pack. The helmet-compatible hood with wire brim and high hand pockets that clear a harness or waistbelt mark it as a climbing and alpine shell rather than a city raincoat. At about 503 g it is heavier than ultralight shells but tougher, and owners rate it highly for weatherproofing and ventilation.

Owners rate it 4.6 out of 5 and praise its weather protection and the TorsoFlo venting in particular. Complaints center on weight and the stiff feel of the 75D fabric.
The Outdoor Research Headwall is a men's waterproof shell jacket with a 3-layer ePE GORE-TEX fabric. The 75D fabric is 100% recycled polyester and is fully seam-taped. It is waterproof, windproof, breathable and durable.
TorsoFlo venting runs from the hem to the bicep and uses YKK Aquaguard zippers. The front has a 2-way double separating full-length zipper and a brushed tricot chin guard. The hood is fully adjustable, helmet compatible and has a wire brim.
There are two zippered chest pockets and two zippered high hand pockets. The high hand pockets work with a harness and a pack waistbelt. The cuffs adjust with hook-and-loop closures, and the hem adjusts with an elastic drawcord.
