Great product—always a fan of Patagonia. This jacket is extremely light yet surprisingly warm. I’ve used it in Patagonia, Argentina as wind protection during the summer, and also through New York winters, and it has performed beautifully in both conditions. I love how warm it is without feeling bulky. It layers easily with other pieces in the same size, packs down very small, and is perfect for tr Zuhaib R. · patagonia.com
