    I'm 61 years old, and I've got a few Patagonia Parka's that I've had over 35 years now and they're just phracking awesome still, and are as good today as the day I bought them. I highly recommend Patagonia and hope those of you who buy Patagonia enjoy yours as much as I've enjoyed mine.

    I’ve had mine a month, it’s very comfortable and waterproof, and keeps the wind out. I can put up the hood when listening to podcasts, and the pockets are good. I would like an inner pocket. The only negative is that it gets damp inside after 90 minutes, not very, just a thin layer of sweat.

    I have had mine for 4-5 years. Same one. Have brought it on trips. I even ranged from 200-240 while owning the jacket and was able to wear it. wore snugger at 240 but not crazy in a Large size. Bought it as a broke college student and cant justify buying another rain/outshell jacket

    Thanks for the excellent review! I bought the jacket after seeing your review alone. It's a shame I couldn't use your affiliate link to buy the jacket as Amazon's US store only carries a handful of Patagonia items for some reason. I do like the idea of supporting the original brand by purchasing directly from their website though so all's good in my book. Can't wait to go on adventures having this jacket with me :D

    Ive had mine for around the same time and still love it! The half zippered design of mine has less breathability with no pit zips but still performs well as a third layer on top of down or fleece. It is relatively heavy but that makes me feel more confident about its durability. I live in a very rainy city and have mine with me every day. I just reapplied DWR for the first time yesterday even though it was not definitely necessary as the original coating seems very durable in my experience.

    If you want this same quality and price from Patagonia for rain gear but a more refined and slimmer fit, the Skate Sky is whatsup. I just got one and love it. Torrentshell is to baggy, it’s not slim at all. It is however the toughest rain gear you’re finding for under $200 and is an excellent windbreaker as well.

  • @deaneager
    @deaneager 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I have the same jacket (different colour), and have had it for about 18 months. I did a lot of research before buying, but it hasn't lived up to expectations for me. I don't think it breathes that well (I have a Decathlon jacket at half the price that breathes much better, and is just as waterproof). The pocket position is awful, if you're wearing a pack with a hip belt (which is basically all the time). And, when I wore it in a storm last year the rain drove right through it and I ended up soaking wet. Even the pockets filled up with water (they were zipped shut btw).
    However, there are plus points: It has a roomy fit, so if I need to layer up around camp, and stay dry, then I can; It packs up fairly small; It's relatively lightweight.

    I’m looking to buy the Patagonia nano puff jacket, but I’m not sure if the hooded or non hooded version is the best for me… Does a hooded puffy jacket work well under a hard shell/ rain coat? Or is a non hooded puffy jacket the better option with a hard shell over it?

    • @cheesecake6696
      @cheesecake6696 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Everything is a trade off. If you're planning to use these together a lot, get a non hooded. Wearing something with a hood underneath something wit a hood can be pretty uncomfortable. Wearing these together will limit breathability.

    I wore my new Torrentshell for the first time last night...45F, low activity, not overheating or very warm, medium level of rain, 40 minutes. At home I saw the fabric had wetted out where my pack straps were (thin Kanken straps, pack almost empty) and all over my back where the pack was, plus in circles around the pit zips. Inside was dry but the pit zips were damp - I had closed the zippers all the way up to the top. Is this normal? I was walking, arms down. I figure, after 2+ years of having one you will know. I'd appreciate your input! I can't imagine wearing this on a long-distance hike in a torrential downpour (the irony..).

      I mean, this is my biggest concern about buying a new, expensive raincoat. My past experience with cheepo’s has been like you describe , the worst usual down down the front side of my chest and stomach is soaked when I ride my motorcycle. It’s seems that the heat from our body draws the water right through the so-called waterproof material just like water condensation on the outside of a cold glass of liquid from the warmer air outside. My theory/idea was to purchase one that has a relatively thick insulated lining that would possibly prevent this from happening.?

I did lots of trips cycling in very wet weather, did a kilimanjaro challenge and never once got wet and on top of really cold hills and they kept me warm.
      I lost the trousers over time and then the top, when I realised I should be cleaning it, that was the worst mistake as the taped seams came apart.
      In recent years I've been told to clean garments every season by person in-store. Is this really the case or do they not make them the same any more ????

    Hi guys, my father and I both have has this jacket for about 7 years. After these 7 years, the are totally falling apart. So, I will be buying a new jacket soon.
    While one could say that 7 years is plenty of time/use for a jacket of that type, my father has other jackets of the same/lower price ranges that lasted a lot longer.
    While I am of the opinion that I spent my money well 7 years ago, I am wondering if others have had the same experience. If so, I will probably be going for an alternative as there are plenty of options that so last 7+ years.
    So if any of you have (or have not) had this experience, pls lmk!

      My HellyHansen lasted 25 years, before the zipper gave up. And I wore it a lot.

    Just one question. Was this a paid review? I'll have a look see.

      Nope! I’d have mentioned that in the video if it was! 💙

      @@DavidPMcEntee thank you for clarification. I've only seen a few of your vlogs so I'm feeling my way around. Now for my question. I'm doing The Ethel Challenge and I've never walked before, in the hills that is, so bearing in mind I'm only 5 Ethels in and just starting out and don't at this point want to spend a massive amount until I'm sure I'll stick it out rather than being a couch potato. Is there a lower price jacket for a person starting out on their journey? Should I still have the same enthusiasm is 6 months then this is something I would consider. I hope that this makes sense. Newbie jacket for day hikes only. Appreciate any help.

    Mine after 4 years is still water proof but not replant it gets soaked. I end up looking like a wet chicken.

    If a jacket/coat does not cover the "butt" with a waist draw cord its a NO GO.

    Sadly since the founder retired, Patagonia has taken a turn for the worse. Most recently forcing customer service teams to come back in the office, or resign. Easy way to affect mass layoffs. They won't be getting any more of my business, like ordering this jacket as I was about to do.

      😂 coming into the office is a turn for the worse ? You sound exactly like the idiot that has ruined productivity in this country
