The Adze Jacket does everything a soft shell should: It breathes, blocks wind and keeps quiet, whether you’re leading out from a hanging belay, or ski touring the High Sierra in the chill of early March. Key is the Polartec® Windbloc® stretch-woven polyester shell, which deflects wind while breathing freely and moving with a soft, supple hand – add to this a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish to fend off wet weather. The microgrid fleece interior traps heat, moves sweat and feels great next to skin, allowing total versatility with short- or long-sleeved layers. Features include two reverse-coil zippered handwarmer pockets and one internal zippered chest pocket, hook-and-loop cuff closures and a drawcord hem to seal out the elements and seal in heat.

Technology
Deluge® DWR
Patagonia’s proprietary durable water repellent fabric finish, Deluge DWR, lasts substantially longer than standard DWRs. Garments with the Deluge DWR finish have like-new repellency after years of extensive use.
