It is very easy to manufacture ‘heritage’ and ‘cool’ these days and at Countryside Ski & Climb we make it our business to seek out the genuine from the phoney as great ideas are worth spreading. Inspired by the courier bags the NYC cycle messengers used to use in the 70’s, Rob Honeycutt, a cycle messenger himself in 1989 San Francisco, took the leap to start manufacturing his own bags in a backstreet garage.
Patagonia - Stretch Element Jacket
Patagonia's premium 3-layer, full-stretch waterproof hard shell jacket with outstanding breathability.
Alaska in May, Combatant in August, the Khumbu in December and Patagonia in February - one jacket.
The Stretch Element delivers full stretch-woven mobility and durability, near-soft-shell breathability and a surprisingly supple hand in a 3-layer waterproof/breathable nylon shell. It's also compressible and made with our stitch-free construction reinforced with exceptionally flexible tape to reduce weight and to keep seams drier.
Features:
- Soft 3-layer, stretch-woven nylon shell features full stretch, with a waterproof/breathable H2No barrier and Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish for storm protection
- Stitch-free construction reinforced with exceptionally flexible tape reduces weight, keeps seams drier and reduces abrasion that can compromise fabric performance
- Helmet-compatible, roll-down, 3-way-adjustable hood
- Smooth action, watertight ririAQUAzip used for center-front zipper
- Pockets: two handwarmers, one chest, all have water-tight, coated zippers with Deluge DWR finish and zipper garages; two internal drop-in pockets
- Drawcord hem
- Fit Guide - Slim Fit
Material:
Shell: 3-layer, 4.2-oz 50-denier 100% stretch-woven nylon with a waterproof/breathable H2No barrier and a Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish. Reinforcements: 5.1-oz 80-denier stretch-woven nylon with an H2No barrier and a Deluge DWR finish.
Technology:
3-layer H2No fabrics are waterproof and breathable by virtue of an advanced combination of elements: a water-repellent shell fabric, a waterproof barrier and an interior scrim fabric. This fabric package is completely waterproof, windproof, breathable and very durable. H2No is Patagonia's standard for 100% waterproof and breathable protection in their shell garments. H2No is created by adding a waterproof and breathable laminate or coating to a high performance protective fabric. This fabric package blocks wind and water on the outside while allowing water vapor generated by your body to escape keeping you warm, dry and comfortable.
