As the price goes up, the features multiply as well. This Patagonia Torrentshell Jacket can easily become an everyday staple in anyone’s wardrobe thanks to its versatility. Breathability? Check. Water and wind protection? Check. Greatest hood design on the market? Check. In addition, this jacket can be freely categorized as sustainable, which is another checkbox. Layer it and bring it with you when hiking; or use it as a ski jacket and you will not be disappointed.
The clean design combined with a sound performance certainly make this waterproof jacket stand out in the crowd. Lightweight fabric and functional extra features add up to sufficient protection against heavy rains and powerful winds when embarking on another backpacking adventure. All in all, Patagonia is known for its exceptional design, and this jacket is living proof.
