Patagonia Primo Gore-Tex Jacket - Men's
Worth the $$$

Ranked #1268 - Men's Ski Jackets
January 7, 2010
I got it last fall as a replacement for my Mountain Hardwear Hairpin Jacket and couldn't be happier. I have the Large in Red (easier to be seen on the mountain) and I'm 5'11 with 44 inch chest and it fits great with a insulating and base layer underneath. It's a bit long but the cinch at the bottom fixes that in short order.
LOTS of features and I was very happy with this on both cold and warm days because of the venting capabilities. It doesn't feel as "bomber" as my Arc'Teryx Beta AR but seems great for quality so far.
Based on my past experience with Patagonia if it doesn't live up to their hype they'll replace or repair it for free...
