An extremely versatile jacket. I wear it all the time, and it's become my favorite piece, especially for around town. There's just the right amount of insulation to keep you warm without being bulky or hot when you walk inside a building. The windproof exterior means that wind chill is not a factor, and all the pockets are great. The jacket is so cozy and has such a relaxed fit, especially around the collar, but if it's real windy, the wind cannot get into the neck, wrists, or under the hem. It's too bad Patagonia doesn't make this any more, it's really a great jacket. The reversible feature is nice, and gives you extra pockets, but, honestly, I never wear the fleece side out. Apparently this was made for anglers as something that would stop the wind, have a warm lining, and not be too heavy, and it does just that, whether you fish or not. GREAT JACKET! Worth every penny, especially with Patagonia's lifetime guarantee.

Customer Service

Patagonia has the best customer service I've ever encountered. I haven't needed it for this jacket, but I've used it for other items, and they're simply the best. Kudos to US Outdoor store in Portland, OR, too. They rock!

I've got a lot of Patagonia pieces, and it's great stuff. All the big players offer a windbreaker with a minimal liner, such as the Marmot Windshirt, and this jacket goes one step further with more warmth and features.

Our family has lots of Patagonia gear and I wasn't sure that I really wanted this jacket. It was on sale and so I bought it. I think I wear this jacket more than any other I own. I primarily use it as a wind shirt but have worn it snowshoeing, sailing, backpacking...

I don't think Pategonia makes this any more but I would have purchased one for my wife.
