Patagonia Speed Ascent Jacket - Men's

As the warmest wind- and water-resistant softshell in the Patagonia line, the Men’s Speed Ascent Jacket is built for technical winter pursuits where stretch and insulation aren’t just nice, they’re essential. The fuzzy R2 fleece lining is welded to the shell and ups the warmth ante for ice and alpine climbing. Stitch-free seams help the Speed Ascent decrease bulk and increase weather protection, and the articulated fit and durable shell reinforcements let you focus on the route instead of your jacket.

Bottom Line: Speed is safety.

The Speed Ascent is a fantastic jacket. It offers great warmth for a soft shell, and is going to breath better than the Gamma SV when you really get moving. The R2 fleece lining inside the Speed Ascent is very soft and very, very warm. Great jacket!

All Time Favorite Jacket

By:

No, it's not entirely waterproof, and it's a little on the heavy side, but it's a fantastic jacket. I got it in February of this year and skied in it down to about 10 degrees with just a wool shirt and a Patagonia R1 underneath and it was great. Breathed like a marathon runner on the long hikes and kept me warm in deep pow (regardless of the lack of skirt) and whiteout wind. The hood is big enough to fit over my Variant Brim helmet and still move fairly well, and the rest of the jacket moves really well in twisty jump turns and trees when you need flexibility. My only gripes are that the pockets have no insulation and that the hood blocks out sound TOO well. It's actually irritating when you're walking around town with friends and the hood up and you can't hear anything that's being said. Other than those minor gripes, I wear it whenever I can. Windproof, welded seams, fuzzy and warm inside, why not wear it?

The Speed Ascent Jacket is similar to the hercules, but offers a ton more wind and water protection. The Speed Ascent is a full soft shell piece with a killer DWR coating that blocks out all but the wettest storms. It breathes really well, and offers great warmth with the R2 fleece on the interior.
