Patagonia Guide Softshell Jacket - Men's

Zip up the versatile Patagonia Men's Guide Jacket for everything from sporty mixed climbing to casual spring ski tours. This softshell jacket's four-way stretch fabric resists wind and water and holds up on abrasive granite, but breathes and moves moisture on high-output activities. Articulated arms keep the jacket in place when you're stabbing that next tool placement, and the chamois collar lining and brushed interior keep the Guide comfortable. Store your camera, lip balm, and extra gloves in the three exterior pockets. This jacket is recyclable through Patagonia's Common Threads Recycling Program.

Bottom Line: When things get technical, get into the Guide.

Traxler, I think a medium would fit you well. Unless you've got a longer torso, or if you want a looser fit go large.

Great Fit!

By:
June 18, 2009

Great fitting coat, shields water well, blocks the Chicago wind better than I expected for how lightweight it feels on you. I am 6'2", 210 and the large fits perfect - sleeves are perfect length and the bottom of the coat couldn't be at a better length. Style is hands down 5/5 - being the main reason I got it. We will see how well it keeps me warm under a shell this winter, but so far, so great!

Is the sale price 175 or is it 175 the 30% off? I would want Expresso or Black or Navy in XL

The prices range from 122-175, depending on the color and size. On this site, you could only get the Black or Navy in an XL; the Expresso is sold out of XL. Also, both the Black and Navy will go for 175. Maybe they'll be put on sale later. Keep checking back.

Perfect all around jacket.

By:
November 26, 2008

It's a nice fit and true to size. The velcro cuffs keep the warm air in and the clod wet out. I am a jacket freak but this one is my favorite softshell. With a good mid-weight layer this will do 32F easy.

Can anyone suggest a jacket manufacturer that fits someone who

Can anyone suggest a jacket manufacturer that fits someone who is out of the standard sizing for outdoor gear. I have short arms and a barrel chest. It is almost impossible to find a good fit. If it fits my shoulders and chest it usually is made for someone who has a large stomache and long arms. I generally wear a sleeve length of 34-35, waist of 32-33 but a chest of 46-47 and neck 17.5-18. I know it sounds odd, I used to be a wrestler.

doesnt sound like patagonia is for you...might want to look exlusivly for softshell jackets because they are stretchy, and athletic fit jackets because they taper around the waist and midsection...you might not be able to find a jacket to fit all your need (arm length)...but two out of 3 aint bad right? backcountry.com shift wedler would be good, but it is pricey

Guide Jacket

By:
November 28, 2008

Patagonia has changed the design of this jacket over the years, but the core features have always stayed in place. It is my favorite softshell, and I've owned a few. It has everything I need: tough construction, waterproof features (including zippers), the right number of pockets, and the right amount of insulation vs breathe-ability. Works well on its own, and also works with other layers. Fantastic jacket.

Im 6'5" tall and lanky - 185lbs. WOuld i need a LARGE or XL? I heard the sleeves are long which is why im considering this jacket. I want to get the slim fit, long sleeves, without the baggy body.

I think for your height you might need to go XL and I don't think it would be too baggy for you. I'm 6'1" 170 and a large fits me perfectly.ps- great jacket!

Love the Jacket, but...

By:
January 13, 2009

Fit is great, looks really good, length is perfect, just wish it was more wind resistant so it would be warmer. I have too many jackets like this that the wind blows through and you loose your heat.

Patagonia got rid of the Core Skin Jacket a couple years ago

Patagonia got rid of the Core Skin Jacket a couple years ago (I'm trying to find one now). If anyone remembers that jacket, how does this one compare?

The shell material is a bit stiffer and it doesn't have the same pile insulation as the Core Skin. So..the Guide is lighter/more packable and more breathable - but less warm.

I'm looking for a jacket that has long enough sleeves for a my long arms while still having the slim body as I'm a tall lanky guy with long arms. I'm looking at the MH G50 and the Patagoina Guide. These are both soft shells.

The Guide jacket, like many Patagonia products, is fitted for a lanky person. The arms are long and the torso is fitted. I am of a similar body type and find that the jacket fits great.

Can anyone tell me about what temperatures this jacket can handle if only wearing a light undergarment? thanks.

If you're really working (skiing, running, whatever), then probably low 40s. Just hanging around camp, I'd say low 50s. Kind of depends on how naturally warm you are anyway.Well for uphill skinning where you're putting out lots of heat, I think its warm in the teens and single digit Farenheit. For more static activities, you'll need an insulation layer underneath. Its basically a lightly insulated shell.
