Patagonia Rubicon Rider Jacket - Men's
Well Made, Poor Shoulder Articualtion
By Anonymous
Ranked #1524 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets
March 2, 2009
The Rubicon's construction is very good. The Thermogreen insulation does not insulated as well as other brands(Primaloft,Polarguard) per weight.
The deal breaker is the tight shoulder fit, and I have a average build. It is inexcusable for a Patagonia brand jacket . When I reach low or forward I feel the shoulders bind from the tight fit. I expect this from a cheap jacket, never Patagonia.
