A- = Super Guide Jacket

By acidsoup Ranked #619 - Men's Softshell Jackets December 11, 2006

The “Super Guide” Jacket was just released this summer 2006. I bought it directly from Patagonia because it wasn’t in my size at sporting store in my area. It’s definitely a lot cheaper on your website.

The water proofing materials in this jacket are amazing, the water just beads up instantly on the surface of it. Water seems to dry off quickly inside or just beads off the jacket. It does come with a draw string around the waist and you can adjust it on both sides and pull it in tighter to snug your body. The pockets are set up high for climbing and keeps items inside safe, dry, and prevents them from falling out.

Looks great, you can wear it casually and unzip it as a light jacket, but what’s great about this jacket is how well it protects you from wind and rain. I got caught in a heavy down pour today, and just zipped up the jacket tight and it kept me dry and everybody else coming into the store soaking wet! It is pricey, but a nice addition to your closet if you have the extra cash. I gave it a 4 because of the high price Patagonia is charging for it.
