Springtime in the alpine means ski approaches, sunny south-facing rock and icy shaded corners – it’s the ultimate all-arounder's season. Our new Troposphere Jacket keeps pace. Its 2.5-layer H2No® Performance Standard nylon shell has excellent stretch to enable gymnastic movement, while the waterproof/breathable barrier with a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish sheds moisture and blocks wind, yet remains lightweight and packable. Features include two Napoleon-style chest pockets (with pressed pleats for increased storage) and two handwarmer pockets (all zippered and above the harness line); coated, watertight pit zips; a helmet-compatible, 2-way-adjustable hood; and self-fabric hook-and-loop cuff closures. A trim, minimal storm flap protects the center-front zip, and a dual-adjust drawcord hem seals in warmth.

Material
2.5-layer H2No® Performance Standard shell fabrics are waterproof, windproof, breathable and highly packable. They combine a water-repellent shell fabric with a waterproof barrier and a raised pattern on the inside, instead of the interior scrim used in 3-layer fabrics. The raised pattern makes 2.5-layer fabric light and compressible, while still protecting the waterproof barrier.
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.
