Patagonia Guide Jacket - Woman's

From Looking Glass to Alexander's Chimney, autumn for alpine climbers runs the gamut from good granite to scratchy mixed. The Alpine Guide Jacket moves, protects and breathes for all mountain endeavors. It relies on our best-ever Guide fabric, a Polartec® Power Shield® stretch-woven blend (nylon/polyester/spandex) with Hardface® Technology that dramatically improves the Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish's resistance to wind, water, snow and abrasion, while remaining stretchy and highly breathable. The articulated sleeves encourage mobility, while the brushed interior enhances next-to-skin comfort and moisture management. A chest pocket and two handwarmer pockets sit above the harness line and close with coated, water-resistant zippers. Self-fabric hook-and-loop closures at the cuffs, a dual-adjust drawcord waist and microfleece-lining on the collar, chin guard and wind flap round out the features.
