Patagonia Alpine Wind Jacket - Women's
From ski touring to ice climbing to trail running, the Patagonia Women’s Alpine Wind Jacket gives you versatile and comfortable protection as a shell or second layer. The lightweight polyester shell blocks gusts on long rock routes or exposed skin tracks, and the tricot mesh lining layers easily over your base layers. Underarm stretch panels amp up breathability and range of motion, and the jacket is fully recyclable through Patagonia’s Common Threads Program.
Bottom Line: A versatile layer for windy alpine conditions.

Patagonia Women's Alpine Wind Jacket

This is a really nice light extra layer and wind-blocking piece. The mesh lining is soft next to skin and adds a hint of warmth. The nylon shell effectively blocks wind and is quite water resistant. I've used it while cycling in off and on spitting rain, and the rain drops beeded on the surface of the jacket without soaking through. The jacket seemed to breathe well after I had been riding for awhile and had started to warm up. The cut is perhaps slightly on the long side, especially in the back, which personally I prefer for the extra coverage. (Who wants cold air coming up her back?) I normally buy medium Patagonia tops, and this one is fits to accomodate layers underneath, and the small would probably fit me too. If you can fit in either size, do the smaller one for a more fitted jacket, or the larger one to accomodate more layers underneath. The Alpine Wind Jacket is a great piece to throw in your pack for most outdoor pursuits from day hiking to mountain biking to strolling around town. It won't take up much space and gives you good protection from the breeze and light rain.
Change me.
