Patagonia Men's Alpine Wind Jacket

Patagonia Men's Alpine Wind Jacket

On high ridges, steep ice and anything alpine, Patagonia's new Alpine Wind Jacket serves as a true best of all worlds staple. It excels as a standalone shell for blustery rock climbs, coolweather trail runs and highoutput ski tours. And then, when conditions have you ice and alpine climbing, it functions as a lightly insulated windshirt on the approach that doubles as a frictionless midlayer when its time to bundle up and tiein. The polyester ripstop shell, with Deluge DWR treatment, sheds snow and blocks wind, while the smooth, lightly brushed hanging mesh liner wicks moisture, dries fast and doesnt bind to your baselayers. Superlight stretchwoven underarm panels enhance breathability and allow for unimpaired arm motion, and zippers close the three pockets two hand, one chest. A drawcord hem, elastic cuffs, a heattransfer reflective logo and regular coil, centerfront zipper with DWR finish round out the features. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

Patagonia Quality
Great lightweight wind breaker jacket. True to size. Gives you more protection then the Pat Houdini jacket. Has kept me dry in light rains-have not been caught in deluge wearing the jacket. Jacket will roll up in breast pocket-will zip close and hook to carabiner. Patagonia quality

Great Jacket -- I own 3!
I love these lightweight windbreakers and wear them all the time. I bought one about 12 years ago (though faded and worn it is still quite wearable). Then Patagonia stopped making it. Recently they started making it again, so I bought 2 more! I wear them year round -- good in the summer coastal fog; great in the cool fall and winter weather when we finally get our sun. If it gets cold (like it snows here once every five years for ten minutes), just throw on a second layer. Great for packing. You can stuff it into quite a small space.

Great Wind Jacket
This is a great wind jacket. Pretty light for travel and general use but not super light. It has a hanging liner that makes it more comfortable but adds some ounces. Over all very nice.
