DESCRIPTION

Patagonia took the stretchiness and breathability of a softshell and the waterproof barrier of a hardshell and made the Men's Stretch Element Jacket for your alpine pursuits. Three-layer, stretch-woven nylon lets you move comfortably as you ice climb or ski tour, and the stitch-free construction reduces weight and helps keep seams dry during snow storms. Open the Underarm zips when you start to heat up on an ascent, and pull up the helmet-compatible hood for an extra layer of head protection when the wind kicks up. Fabric reinforcements on the shoulders and arms of this Patagonia jacket add durability when you wear a pack.
