R2 TechFace Hooded Jacket - Kids'

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"My son wore this on a windy ridge hike where every other layer we brought felt useless. The stretch weave never held him back from scrambling over rocks, and he stayed warm the whole way down."

Trails don't stay smooth for long, especially the ones kids find most interesting, and the R2 TechFace Hooded Jacket is built to handle the scrambling, branch-grabbing, rock-hopping version of a hike rather than the easy one. Patagonia's TechFace double weave stretches through every reach and twist while a durable water repellent finish keeps wind and light moisture from slowing anyone down. It moves like a fleece and blocks like a shell, which means fewer layer changes and more time actually on the trail.

That balance comes down to the fabric choices underneath the surface. The recycled polyester and spandex body weave holds its shape through hard wear, while the reinforced trim adds durability right where packs and scrambling put the most stress. It's a jacket meant to get scuffed up on real terrain, not just look the part on the way there.
