User Review: Patagonia Storm Jacket
|
Rating: 
Fabric: 2-layer shell with mesh-lining
Price Paid: oh yes...
Don't let the name fool you...this is NOT a storm jacket. Calling it a cast-iron garment (as they actually do) is a joke...or should I say a pure lie.
It is, however, a rather nice piece of textile for those everyday adventures of life...like going shopping or crossing the street in heavy traffic. Make sure you don't bump into something - your jacket isn't likely to take it well. Fragile is somehow the key word here. Its fabric has some auto-destructive function included...
At first you may think it is a rather sturdy jacket, but the heavy duty-feel of the fabric is soon washed off...by the first heavy rains (NB not storm) it encounters, actually. What remains is a soft lightwheight fairly good jacket for travelling european cities, where the brandname will lend you some cred in selected downtown areas - indicating your recent return from that himalayan expedition you would not have survived, had you been wearing that very same storm jacket.
Yes, it looks good and has a nice fit...better than that 10 year old berghaus alpine extreme jacket I wanted to replace, buying this piece of crap...
So...guess what...I still wear my Berghaus..
...they will get my money the next time I can afford a new jacket, and I'll get my moneys worth.
Long live the Queen!
