Description

The Primo Jacket is a snowsport jacket made by Patagonia. It has an average rating of 4.5 stars (out of 5), based on 6 user reviews.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From Patagonia.com:
"This is an utterly bomber, storm-proof shell that weighs less than a bowl of slope-side chili. It has clean features, clean lines and a lightweight, though robust 3-layer shell made from 100% stretch-woven nylon with a waterproof/breathable barrier and Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish. All exterior zips include a water-resistant coating for complete protection from wind and snow. The fixed helmet-compatible hood adjusts with a one-handed drawcord pull; it fuses with a tall collar to block chin-chilling spindrift. Internal features include pit zips, a fully-featured zip-away powder skirt that has webbing loops that attach to any Patagonia Ski/Snowboard pants, and two drop-in pockets. The chest pocket has an insulated electronic pocket inside, with interior cable routing for an audio device; two zippered handwarmers round out the features. Pass ring under jacket hem."

From Backcountry.com:
"The three-layer waterproof breathable construction of the Patagonia Men's Primo Jacket gives you near bombproof protection for the deepest, sickest days of winter. This streamlined shell features clean looks and essential winter features like a zip-out powder skirt, helmet-compatible hood, and an interior pass window. Interior webbing loops attach to any Patagonia ski pants to keep the jacket from riding up, and an internal insulated media pocket lets you keep the psyche music flowing."

"I work on the ski patrol in the winter. I have used the Primo Jacket for three winters and am lost without it. I am planning to buy another one for my off duty skiing. This jacket is a real best buy, it is tough, looks good, and wears great."

"As a professional skier I must count on my gear. I wore my Primo Jacket and Primo Pants yesterday in -10 conditions. With my layers under them I was warm as toast. Wind doesn't bother me a bit. They wear well and I love them enough that I just bought another color set today. Enjoy the snow!;-)"

"This is the second review I make about this gear, as I promised, because I managed to use it snowboarding on Dolomiti Mountains the last three months.

I can't rate it 3 stars because the Primo is a really good ski-jacket (it has powder-skirt). Comfortable, strong with reinforces on shoulders and bottom, great hood, warm neck, and typicall Patagonia finishes."

"My jacket was purchased at the Patagonia outlet in Reno and is the previous version of the Primo Jacket. I skied with it last month at a resort overlooking Lake Tahoe on a day when it was blowing and snowing hard, no one else was on the slope. We stopped at the top overlooking the lake before skiing downslope."

"Let's start. I'm Italian and I paid this jacket a lot: 300 euros (391 dollars) on sale, from 399 euros of the bill (520 dollars) -- our customers are totally crazy and thieves!!!. So, I paid it more than how much Patagonia makes it cost (350 dollars) on its on-line shop."

"This jacket is awesome! I bought it to go on a winter backpacking trip, but I ended up wearing it as a main winter coat. No wind or water will get through it! It is very warm as well."
