Guide Jacket
By Andrew Traylor
Ranked #2193 - Men's Softshell Jackets
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.
