Rubicon WindStopper Jacket - Men's

Whether you're a backcountry fanatic who won't let a little cold weather get you down, or an in-bounds skier who works hard enough to work up a sweat even on cold days, the Patagonia Rubicon Windstopper Softshell Jacket is just what the doctor ordered. The Rubicon's Windstopper main body fabric is extremely breathable to allow sweat vapor to escape so that it doesn't chill you from inside the jacket; a durable water repellant allows it to shed light rain and snow. Strategically placed 60g and 100g PrimaLoft Eco insulation locks in the warmth, even when wet, so you can keep your mind on what lies ahead.

The helmet-compatible, adjustable, fixed hood locks in warmth and features a visor for better visibility and protection from branches and debris. Patagonia also equipped the Rubicon WindStopper with a lightweight powder skirt with a loop of nylon webbing that connects to any Patagonia Snow pants to form a single powder barrier. The Rubicon WindStopper jacket's fit is relaxed. A slew of pockets keep your stuff (everything from climbing skins to your MP3 player) safe and secure while you lap the chair or a favorite backcountry shot, and zippered underarm vents make it easy to dump heat when you need to. Patagonia finished off the Rubicon WindStopper with a Recco reflector, which makes rescue easier if you're involved in an in-bounds avalanche.
