Patagonia

Classic Retro-X Jacket - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I wear this when the wind is up and a standard fleece just does not cut it. The windproof mesh backing makes a noticeable difference on exposed trails and breezy mornings, and it still has that soft classic pile feel that makes fleece worth wearing in the first place."

Fleece has always been the go-to for cozy cold-weather comfort, but standard pile has one consistent weakness: wind cuts right through it. The Patagonia Classic Retro-X Jacket solves that problem by bonding a windproof mesh backing to the soft recycled polyester pile, delivering the warmth and tactile comfort of classic fleece with genuine protection when the breeze picks up on a ridge or an exposed morning commute. An internal wind flap behind the front zip closes off the last gap, so gusts stay outside where they belong.

Built from 85% recycled polyester with contrast trim made from NetPlus recycled fishing nets, the Classic Retro-X Jacket carries real environmental intention alongside its performance credentials. Zippered handwarmer pockets and a vertical-zip chest pocket keep essentials secure and accessible, and the hip-length cut seals out drafts without restricting movement. bluesign approved fabrics and Fair Trade Certified construction round out a jacket that is as thoughtfully made as it is genuinely useful across a wide range of cold-weather days.
