User Review: Patagonia Jetstream Jacket

Patagonia Jetstream Jacket
Above: The current Jetstream Jacket, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4.5 of 5 stars
Fabric: Patagonia's proprietary version of Gore-tex Paclite
Price Paid: $140 @ outlet

A solid all-around shell. I use it for backcountry skiing, summer hiking, ice-climbing, mountaineering and grocery shopping. Works well as a do-everything shell. The light-weight 2-layer Gore-tex-equivalent fabric is very nice so far (6 months in).

Sometimes it feels mildly clammy inside (I'm a heavy sweater), but it dries remarkably fast when you unzip it, take it off, or open up the pit-zips. The hood is okay, but takes some fiddling with to get it adjusted. I got mine cheap at the outlet store (still can't figure out why it was a factory second), but I would have paid full price for this jacket.
