Primo Jacket - Men's

Like its sibling, the Primo Pant, the Patagonia Primo Jacket is Patagonia's toughest weatherproof ski and snowboard jacket. From its super-tough recycled nylon main body fabric to its 3-layer Gore Tex laminate, you know the Primo jacket will be around for a while. And, as always, Gore Tex means guaranteed waterproof and guaranteed breathable, so you can handle anything that nature throws your way without feeling moist and clammy.

Patagonia didn't hold back when it designed the Primo jacket. Gore-Tex 3-Layer represents the absolute best that the industry has to offer. The main body fabric is recycled nylon—known for its durability. The helmet-compatible, 2-way-adjustable fixed hood has a laminated visor for optimal visibility in bad conditions. Patagonia's patented Touch Point System embeds the cord locks in the hood and hem for quick adjustment. Patagonia also equipped the Primo with a sleek, low-profile powder skirt that stays in place whether secured or not. The powder skirt also features a loop of nylon webbing that connects to any Patagonia Snow pants to form a single powder barrier.

The Primo jacket's fit is Progressive, which is Patagonia-speak for loose. The highly articulated fit moves with you while you hike or ski and feels comfortable and natural, and the articulated elbows and gusseted cuff fits easily and comfortably over or under gloves. Zippered underarm vents make it easy to dump heat when you need to. Patagonia finished the jacket off with a Recco reflector, which aids in search and rescue should you become involved in an in-bounds avalanche.
