The dog days of winter: March through blowing wind and snow. Pause. Flake the ropes. Get fired up. For long approaches and cold routes, our Dual Aspect Hoody blurs the line between midlayer and shell. An exclusive weather-shedding, breathable and durable soft-shell fabric package (Polartec® Power Shield®, with DWR finish, bonded to a Polartec Power Grid™ knit) insulates and protects key areas, while allowing for smooth layering under a jacket when tempests build. Other parts of the hoody (the side panels, hood, hem, cuffs and undersides of the arms) use stretchy Polartec Power Dry® fleece to minimize bulk, enhance breathability and ensure mobility. With a zippered chest pocket, zippered hand pockets that sit above harness line and a snug, balaclava-style hood.
- Patterned through upper torso and down sleeves, a Patagonia®-exclusive shelled Polartec® Power Shield® fabric balances wind, weather and abrasion resistance with warmth and breathability
- Shelled Polartec Power Shield on back and shoulders is cut on bias for mechanical stretch
- Polartec Power Dry® fabric in hood, side panels, lower torso and down sleeves delivers warmth, stretch and breathability
- Snug-fitting balaclava-style hood provides warm, stretchy, breathable comfort under a helmet
- Two high handwarmer pockets with slim zips stay clear of a harness or pack waistbelt; single zippered exterior chest pocket
- Elastic binding at hood, hem and cuffs seals out weather
- Body: 8.8-oz shelled Polartec® Power Shield® 96% recycled polyester/4% spandex (70-denier 100% polyester woven bonded to 6.3-oz Polartec Power Grid™ knit) with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. Side panels, hood and sleeves: 5.9-oz Polartec Power Dry® 94% polyester (54% recycled)/6% spandex. Fair Trade Certified™ sewing

bluesign® Approved Fabric
Patagonia has worked with bluesign technologies since 2000 to evaluate and reduce resource consumption in our materials supply chain, and to assist us with managing the chemicals, dyes and finishes used in the process. bluesign technologies, based in Switzerland, works at each step in the textile supply chain to approve chemicals, processes, materials, and products that are safe for the environment, safe for workers, and safe for the end customers.
In 2007, Patagonia became the first brand to officially join the network of bluesign® system partners.
Any fabric you see that’s bluesign® approved offers the highest level of consumer safety by employing methods and materials in their manufacture that conserve resources and minimize impacts on people and the environment.
Water Resistant
DWR (durable water repellent) fabric finish repels light rain and snow and decreases dry times. When DWR is used in conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.

Very versatile
The dual aspect hoody is as lightweight as a typical cotton hoody but provides plenty of warmth and even a bit of water resistance in light rain. I use it as my everyday jacket in weather ranging from 40 to 60 (it can go a bit lower than 40 if there is no wind), as well as for camping trips where the nights can be cold but I certainly don't need a down jacket.
Because it is a tight fit it also works well as active wear in cold temperatures (it does retain a lot of heat).
When it begins to smell it washes easily -- delicate cold wash and then air dry.
I'm 5'9 and 145 lbs. I wear a size small for all of Patagonia's jackets and shirts, including this hoody.
Highly recommended.

Fit is nice, seems warm
I'm 5'9 and 145 lbs. I bought a size small...wanted a close fit to wear while skiing. The R2 jacket in small was way too tight. Seems warm enough so far.

Impressive Styling and Function
A decades long (aka 'old school') Patagonia user, I was initially a little skeptical about the hybrid approach, wondering if such a blend of materials would compromise function in some way. The Dual Aspect Hoody eliminated all my doubts. I tend to run warm in general, and in the past few months have used the hoody in a wide range of conditions and have been impressed each time. At times, the jacket was worn over a woolen T shirt in the 50's -- protection from light wind and a few passing sprinkles with fine venting on the side panels. At other times, with temperatures in the upper 30's, the hoody served as a mid layer over a long sleeve woolen shirt and beneath a still going strong Simple Guide jacket. In colder conditions (single digits to upper teens), I wore the garment over an R1 fleece jacket and under a KnifeRidge hooded shell. I put either the shell hood or a beanie over the balaclava hood and found all types of variations work well with the Dual Aspect. All in all this piece can serve as a flexible three season garment that surpassed my expectations. Hats off to Patagonia R & D yet again.

Happy Husband
I bought this for Christmas for my husband. He was happy with the present, but more so when he started wearing it. He said that he's surprised at how warm it is considering how thin it is. The hood is a bit more fitted, he likes it, but the kids don't (they make fun of him when he has it on!). I think it will be used more than the other coats/jackets that I've purchased for him in the past :-) The XL fits his long arms (he's 6'4") and fits well in the body, not fitted, but not baggy either, enough room for a fleece.

I love this jacket!
I purchased this jacket as a mid-layer while skiing, and it's fantastic! Through some trial and error I now have the perfect combination to keep me warm and dry while spending 6 to 8 hours on the mountain patrolling. Two base layers, this jacket, and my Patagonia shell has kept me comfortable no matter if it's in the high 20's, or in the low single digits.

My New Favorite All-Season Jacket
This is perfect. I wear it in the Spring/Fall and at nights camping during the summer. AND, it's my layer under my Men's Reconnaissance Jacket for winter work and play.
Fits GREAT! I'm 5'11" and 165lbs (slim build) and the jacket fits my chest/waist without all the unnecessary bulk. The arms are LONG and manage my ape index without problems.
The HOOD is my favorite. It's zips up high and the hood surrounds my head -- leaving enough space for googles. It's a nice feature for football games or early morning camping.

Excellent
The jacket is a little thinner than portrayed in its pictures, but still warm and comfortable. I have gotten many compliments as well

The Perfect Jacket I Did Not Expect to Find
Earlier this year I saw that this jacket went on sale online. Looking at it online I could not understand the design or the real benefits of this jacket. A few days later I went in to my local Patagonia Store and saw this jacket on the rack--I was intrigued. The first thing that I did was feel the top or squared pattern area to find that it was a sturdy softshell material. I was very interested. In trying it on, the side panels with their soft fleece material made for a nice fit. Based on what I saw I was sold and ordered one on the site.
I was intending on having this as a midlayer for skiing. But now I have found that this is the perfect jacket for three-season travel because I can pack it instead of bringing two separate jackets (a fleece and a softshell). Case in point: this summer's trip to cool Baxter State Park in Maine. I packed only this jacket and a hardshell. When the temps dropped below 60 F and rain showers moved in, this was the perfect piece for walking around the entire day as we visited different sites. If I was going out for a longer jaunt I just threw on a hardshell. Not too warm, not too cold. While some gripe that hybrids are just a fad, this demonstrates how it is versatile and reduces the need for other items when traveling.
Sizing, though rated as slim, is good. For me it is not too tight--this is important because other products lately have been too small requiring me to order up a size.
Another good example--it was perfect as a stand-alone layer for spring skiing at Alta this spring. The softshell shielding stopped wind. The side panels made for good ventilation and fit. The collar, though tall, zips up to protect the face.
There are two possible changes I would like. First, the collar area can be a bit tight for folks. It is designed to be a balaclava fit to ensure warmth. It does work nicely for that, but only when the zipper is all the way up (at least for me). The second change would be to make the hood of the softshell material (or a combination) to shield from rain and snow showers. The trade-off being that the hood may not feel as comfy as this.
Overall, a very pleasant find that serves a great niche for me. I just ordered another!
