User Review: Patagonia Stretch Element Jacket

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

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Price Paid: more than I wanted to

Patagonia no longer makes this jacket, however you can still find it from catalog outfits. It is light for a three-layer waterproof, breathable shell and packs down about the size of a cantaloupe. I love the fit and feel of it and it has well thought out features like inside pockets big enough for a water bottle. The zippers are a little stiff, but after using them for a while I am now used to it. This is now my go-to jacket whenever the weather turns sour. It is worth every one of those many many pennies I paid for it.
