I've had this jacket for a year now and love it. It's my ski (touring) jacket and it's bombproof. It's not a super stiff material, so it's fairly comfy, too. I love the performance shell's breathability,but I'm glad it has huge pit zips to dump heat. I wore it mountaineering in the Himalayas with a stoic wool base layer and a puffy on cold days and I couldn't have been happier.
Sizing: it does have long arms, which is super nice for climbing or skiing in it, but a bit annoying for just general use. The torso is sufficiently long as well. I'm 5'10.5", 145lb, and I went with the medium which is perfect with a layer or two underneath and is roomy without extra layers.

5'7 135-140. Pretty skinny, slightly athletic. I am looking to purchase a new shell for the winter namely because my old paclite is trim and takes all of the loft out of my down jacket, especially the arms and is tight in the pits. I typically go for a small, should I size up to a medium?
Excellent

I got this for backcountry skiing, and really have no complaints. The 3 layer Gore Tex kept me dry in some pretty wet snow conditions last winter. The Balsam Green color is really quite nice (like on the Patagonia site). The pockets are high enough as to not interfere with a pack's hip belt. It seemed to vent pretty well keeping it on while hiking up with the pit zips and chest pockets open on a blue sky day. I noticed the same thing others did with the longer sleeves, but it doesn't bother me because I always cinch up wrist straps so sleeves fit easily into my glove cuffs.
Wanted to love it...

This is a really nice jacket that just falls short of being great. Those few shortcomings killed it for me, but it was really hard for me to return still.
Firstly, the sleeves are ridiculously long, even for a guy like me who always thinks sleeves are short. They cover my entire hand, to the point where I can't grab stuff without them getting in the way. Beyond t.nat fact, gore performance shell is nice, but it's Devi Italy not as light as pro.
The things I loved about this jacket were the cut, minus the sleeves. It isn't too baggy in a large for me (6'2", 185 lbs), the length was great... Not too short or too long. Think right between the Arc beta and Theta. Also, the channel blue color is awesome looking. The two chest pockets are amazing in addition to the hand pockets.
I'm gonna try the super pluma, but will miss the two chest pockets sorely.

I am 6'2" and 210 #'s - I want this jacket to fit a bit baggy - what size do you think?
Dave Marcus
Member since
I'm 4" shorter than you and a bit lighter. I'd consider a large baggy in Patagonia jackets. You should go at least XL.
Ty Nelson

T.S. -- I'd say you could even go XX here. I'm 6' 170 and I'd go XL myself for a baggy fit. XXL should do it for you I think.

Bomber Coat -Some flaws- still awsome

Just got this coat. First impressions; awsome construction, style, materials and overall just a sweet coat.
Pros: Super tough material, light weight, perfect alpine fit ( 5'10 165lbs 42in chest 32 waist) Med fits slim with plenty of room to layer underneath while not being bulky at all. A little bigger that some ultra-technical fitting Med's, but that is perfect for a base layer, fleece, and even slim vest under for alpine climbs and boarding. Don't feel constricted like some alpine coats. Hood is sweet for over a helmet, or not as well. Pockets rock. Color green is sweet - not too dark, and not too bright. Light weight.
Cons: Price - for this price, it should be ProShell, but I got mine elsewhere for 50% off! - do some homework. Material is very noisy - never had a goretex that was so noisy - no hunting in this one. No stetch panels. Sleeves really are as long as other reviews have said. Unless you are an ice-climbing orangutang - you'll have to sinch the cuffs or it'll go totally over your hands. Also should have one extra i-pod pocket inside. Onlu a H2o bottle pouch inside.
Overall- I love it. My new mountaineering shell for all-purpose wet/snow work. Styling is up there with Arct for that pro-look. Feels super tough. I have long arms, so I can live with the sleeves. Just don't pay too much for a Performance shell coat!
So good.

I bought this off Geartrade from Backcountry for almost 50% off because it was returned without tags. Sweet deal to start off. But I needed a tech shell to go with my AT setup and I figured this would do the trick. This thing is very waterproof, very well fitting, and very green. The sleeves are a little long, but I am kind of a short-armed person and I bought an XL because that's what was offered at the discount and I like baggier stuff. There's also plenty of room underneath for layering.
It couples with my Trew Eagle pants (in purple) really nicely, giving me the ultimate mountain dry suit that fits baggy and comfy.
Much improved fit. First impressions

This was a very surprisingly well fitting jacket when I first put it on. In the past, like as recently as December 2011, I had simply written off Patagonia as a company that doesn't make clothes I can fit in. This shell changed that.
I am 6'3" about 190lbs and my sleeve length is 36. I basically can't find shirts that fit properly without going custom. (which I never do) And to my point, any jacket from Patagonia I ever tried on was boxy, short and the arms didn't fit by at least an inch.
This Jacket is the opposite of this. The sleeves on the large are almost too long, which is definitely a good thing as that's never happened to me before. The body fit is generous enough for layering over a down sweater, but not so big that its ill fitting.
It seems Patagonia has changed their sizes for the better and I am very happy about that.
4 stars until I have a chance to use it for it's intended purpose.

Hi, I am searching for a good gore tex shell. My present shell is a 6 year old EMS guide jacket in gore tex xcr. The issue is I am 6-5 with long arms. the xxl in the ems fits perfect. I have been looking into arcteryx (sabre-crossbow). XL just barely fits in the sabre so i figure xxl would fit. Not quite sold on the colors though. At 6-5 would the xxl in the triolet work for me. Thanks

Patagonia jackets have long arms typically, and this one is no exception. I just bought an XL, and it fits me well (5'9"/wide shoulders/I wear baggy clothes) except for the arms.
Since you are 6'5" I would think that either an XL or XXL would work well for you, depending on how wide you are. But this thing was made for people with long arms.

What's the actual color tone like on the Balsam Green and Channel Blue? On Backcountry, it looks bright, but on the Patagonia website it looks a lot darker (more of an olive on the main chest area).

Much closer to Patagonia's website. Backcountry needs to turn the brightness down a little because no one likes to look like a leprechaun...

The one I bought (just came) and the green is actually closer to this picture than the one on the Patagonia site. It is bright, but not too bright.

I tried this jacket on in the local Patagonia shop this weekend in Vail, and I have to say I was pretty impressed. The Channel Blue color is just flat out awesome, and now that Patagonia has finally gone back to Gore-Tex instead of the H2No stuff, I'm a little more interested (haven't had the greatest luck with H2No in the past). I'll admit, there are certain things that I really dislike about Patagonia, and there are some things that are the greatest out there. As I'm sure everyone knows, Patagonia tends to make the men's jackets very boxy/square and short in the torso. I didn't try on everything at the store, but at least with this jacket, that's no longer the case. The torso length is spot on, and the jacket itself is a very nice relaxed, but not boxy fit. I went there with the girlfriend to try on a few things for her, and now because I can't help myself, I'm contemplating spending the cash for a new shell. My only complaint with this jacket is the arm length. Even in the size small, the arms are extremely long. Once you cinch up the wrist cuffs it's not a huge deal, but when I put my arms all the way in, you can't even see the ends of my fingers. They're that long. I understand for climbing (as I am a climber) it's better to have sleeves on the longer side, but these are a few inches too long. Other than that, which isn't a deal breaker, the jacket is awesome. Hopefully BC will be getting more of the Channel Blue color in size small in the near future?

I agree. The sleeve length on alot of there jackets are too long. I am 5'10-160 lbs were a medium and the sleeves are almost over the end of my fingers. For how much these shells are costing now days it better fit perfect. (Arcteryx)
