Patagonia's most technical water-resistant soft shell has a fast dry time and extreme breathability for full-on alpine climbing and skiing performance, the Patagonia Ascensionist Jacket for Men is built from a dense polyester-stretch doubleweave. With stitchless seams, the Ascensionist has exceptional water- and wind-resistance, a rapid dry time and superb breathability. Pared-down detailing provides everything you need and nothing more a helmet-compatible, 3-way-adjustable hood; water-resistant zippers; large external handwarmer pockets with zipper garages that are placed above the harness-line; an internal security pocket; articulated arms; supple die-cut cuff tabs and elastic at the wrists; a drawcord hem.
Awesome coat. Thinner than expected.
Loved everything about this coat. I am 6'4'' and 225lbs and the coat was amazing. The fit was good. Sleeve length was long, but just right for me. Nice accents and design. The hood is extremely large for use without a helmet, but not a deal breaker for me. Love every bit of this coat.
Excellent all-around performance jacket.
A nice softshell jacket that can be used under a wide range of conditions. I use it for year-round biking. Keeps the chill out from 20-40 degree morning winds. It's light enough to easily stowaway. When the weather turns, provides plenty of protection from rain storms. The water bounces off the water-resistant material. Made from a soft, stretchy material, the jacket is quite comfortable. Sleeves run a little long; back provides protection at the bottom.
