Patagonia Winter Guide Jacket - Men's
solid piece of equipment

February 1, 2008
I have yet to take it out on the mountain, but for the week that I have had it just around town I have been impressed. I live in MN, yesterday temps got down to -18 (-37 with wind chill!) and I had my Patagonia R1 Flash Pullover, Marmot Afterburner fleece and the Winter Guide on. I have to say, just hiking around campus and waiting for the bus, I was comfortable. I'm a big fan of the hood--not enough softshells have them in my opinion--and it came in handy yesterday! Solid construction as usual with Patagonia, I am 6'0"/165 lbs and a Medium fits great, plenty of room for layering but still an athletic fit with only a light layer underneath. I have the blue color, though I wish I had gotten the red; service on this site was exemplary as usual. I don't get my gear anywhere else anymore.
