Patagonia Men's Northwall Jacket

Patagonia's premier soft shell for cold conditions; made of Polartec® Power Shield® Pro with a Regulator® high-loft grid interior for maximum protection and optimal breathability on long routes in big mountains. Regular fit Eiger Nordwand in winter? The Rockies in January? Antarctic fantasies? The Northwall Jacket combines toasty warmth and full-on alpine protection with lowland breathability. Its exclusive package features Polartec® Power Shield® Pro fabric bonded to our Regulator® R2® grid interior - the result is an extremely breathable soft shell that's functionally waterproof in all but a deluge. The insulation-shell combo is minimalist and elegant, with two water-resistant, zippered torso pockets above harness-line, low-profile cuff closures and our new Touch Point System™ - embedded cord locks in the hood and hem for quick adjustment without opening the jacket. Sonic-welded seams reinforced with micro-stitching (patent pending) reduce seam bulk and weight while optimizing strength, and the helmet-compatible, 2-way-adjustable hood with laminated visor affords visibility in bad conditions. Full-reach gusseted underarm panels allow overhead mobility.

POLARTEC® : THERMAL FABRICS The primary insulation layer among experienced outdoor enthusiasts for nearly two decades, Polartec® fabrics are available in a variety of unique textures and weights designed specifically to enhance performance in a variety of environs.

Polartec® Power Shield® Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics feature a smooth, tightly woven face for abrasion resistance without the stiffness and noise of a traditional hard shell. A polyester velour back traps air and provides a high warmth-to-weight ratio. All Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are finished with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) to shed rain and snow. All versions feature spandex or mechanical stretch for freedom of movement. Garments made from Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are designed to replace traditional fleece and shell systems for most outdoor clothing applications, reducing the weight and number of layers needed to insulate and protect. They are ideal for skiing, snowboarding, climbing and backcountry trekking. They are used in jackets, pants, bibs, hats and gloves. It's outerwear that gets worn, not carried in a pack. Benefits Blocks 98% of the wind Highly breathable Water repellent Extremely abrasion resistant Less noise than a hardshell Stretch for active comfort Warmth without weight Machine washable
