Patagonia Primo Gore-Tex Jacket - Men's
Excellent Bad Weather Shell
By NickL
Ranked #3028 - Men's Ski Jackets
March 1, 2005
The Primo is exactly that -- first rate. The hard shell Gore Tex XCR is as strong against the elements as any jacket. The hood fits over a helmet, which is important when skiing glades on a powder day. The pit zips allow for easy venting, and the cuffs have well placed hook-and-loop closure to seal out moisture and allow for easy tucking-in under gloves. The pockets are simple and well designed, including the inside zipped pocket. It's easy to layer up underneath and stay warm. Finally, the bit of fleece around the inside of the collar gives a bit of comfort on a cold day.
