User Review: Patagonia Grade VI Jacket
|
Rating: 
Fabric: 50 denier
Price Paid: $200
I have about 15 hard shells ranging from Arc'teryx to Berghaus to Rab, and I must say that I like wearing the Grade VI. From my experience, I have been well protected from pretty hard rain storms and quite foul London weather, although I don't entirely get peace of mind when wearing such a light hard shell, as I am more used to a shell that is slightly heavier and thicker (not that any of the other brands are too heavy anyway).
The fit is superb and the hood once adjusted to the head does not move about and obscure your vision by falling into your line of vision.
Speaking from a technical point of view, the garment is made for specifically mountaineering level endurance and hypothermic altitude conditions when coupled with undergarment layers. From that point of view it is a great piece of kit despite being now a discontinued hard shell. If you like your hiking and mountaineering you will enjoy the jackets level of performance,as it won't let you down. However, I am frustrated at how Patagonia with ease just discontinue a line of clothing which is barely a year old.
Sum up. If you want one buy a new or virtually new one for a bargain price and forget the fashion.
