Patagonia Women'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 it's 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 doesn't bind to your baselayers. Superlight stretchwoven underarm panels enhance breathability and allow for unimpaired arm motion, and the two hand pockets close with zippers. 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.

she loves it
I bought this for my wife and she reports total satisfaction with it. The first of the many times she wore it was on a November weekend on a Colorado ranch at an elevation 9000 feet or so, and it kept her warm in mid-thirties temperatures over a light sweater. Every one of her friends, she says, were jealous. She loves its look and feel, too.

Awesome, lightweight WARM jacket that can be worn under a down vest for colder weather. I'm going to get another one i a different color!

extremely soft and actually keeps you warm!
San Francisco has changeable weather, cool and foggy to warm and sunny depending on where you go in the city on the same day. I take this jacket everywhere, it folds up small but does the job of a heavier jacket. Can't say enough about it.
