Patagonia Houdini Full-Zip Jacket - Men's

Item #PAT1445 | 75 in Stock
5 Star Rating

No, it isn't overpriced at $125

By Ranked #2949 - Men's Softshell Jackets July 23, 2008

Isn't that everyone's real question - why is it priced so high? Well, because it uses the best available materials - it has high water repellency and dries fast if the rain was really hard and long, it's impeccably made, and, yes, it DOES breathe unlike its many, many cheaper competitors. And I'm not talking about sleezy knockoffs, I mean it is much better than anything to date from the other Big Name outdoor companies.

This and some silkweight or lightweight base layer will get you through most of the summer in most parts of the Sierras (well plus something warm for nighttime, either an R2 or something light and puffy).
