User Review: Patagonia Stretch Element Jacket
|
Rating: 
Fabric: erm, not gore-tex but similar stuff
Price Paid: $160 USD
This is a really nice jacket, I picked mine up at 160 USD, which I think is an excellent price for what you get. The jacket is very lightweight, but has many useful features. It has five decent size pockets, a really good adjustable hood, and plenty of ventilation options. This jacket works well for mountaineering, climbing, ski touring, backpacking and due to it being cut longer at the back then at the front as a cycling jacket (even more so if purchased in the retina burning orange).
What I don't particulary like are the zips. They are very stiff (don't twist and bend as easy as a conventional zip) and move only with a good tug. As a result of this, they are impossible to operate with one hand and because they don't bend as easy as normal zips, the pit zips press uncomfortably into my arm pits. After a while I don't seem to notice this that much though.
All in all I am very happy I bought this jacket though and would recommend it to anyone.
