I have a Patagonia Grade VI hardshell. Ever since I bought it I have been in two minds as to how durable this jacket is and what would be its ideal usage. Over the past year, I have leaned to wearing XCR hardshells over the Grade VI, as I think its Paclite quality would be insufficient for extreme cold weather environments.

Is this the sort of hardshell you could comfortably say would deal with the Himalayan climate and more importantly, is it a hardshell you could rely on on an Everest expedition?

Regards
Alex
