Patagonia Stretch Element Jacket

The Fabric is amazing it's very thin, light and the stretch effect is really good. It's waterproof like Gore-tex and it will keep you dry in a thunderstorm. Overall, it's an amazing jacket-very suitable for climbing. The only thing I find annoying is the zippers placement on the jacket. They are impossible to operate with one hand due to the placement under the arms. If moved an inch closer to the chest, you’d have a perfect design.
