Another awesome jacket from Patagonia

I have several jackets and fleeces from Patagonia and I think the Guide is my most used after my R1. The only other jacket that I have that I can compare it to is my Arc'teryx Epsilon AR - except I think the Guide has a lot more function and purpose. The fabric on the Guide is not too thick and it is indeed stretchy. There is some fleece on the inside for light insulation but I would layer if I was wearing this on colder days. There are 3 pockets on the inside (1 chest, 2 hand) and they all get plenty use with all the stuff I carry. I think it has a very nice casual look so you can wear it around downtown after you hike. Overall, I love my Guide jacket and I would recommend it.
