My boys and husband have worn this jacket for the past 10 years. Hubby has 2 blaze orange and they are his go to - both indoors and out. We like the brighter colors and miss the bright orange and brighter yellow. It was helpful when the kids were little and we wanted to see them in the back country. For those complaining about stitching or whatnot, remember that Patagonia will fix them forever. We've had jackets patched multiple times and are fans for the men.
Love the way this jacket looks and fits. But the teeth on the pocket zippers seem custom-designed to catch and pull threads on the sleeves. Brushing up gently against a branch will lead to the same thing as well. If the loop remains intact, they can be pulled back through, but I didn't know I was getting into a routine repair situation. This feels like a design flaw, and makes me appreciate the "unsnaggable" Arc'teryx Atom LT that I gave up. As a secondary issue, the front top of the jacket is kinda stiff when zipped all the way up and pokes me somewhat uncomfortably in my throat. These two things detract quite a bit from what is otherwise a terrific jacket.
The Sedge Green displayed in the REI photos is inaccurate; It's not lime-bright-ish green. The true color is a darker tone. I was reluctant to buy it online because it looked very bright green in the REI photos. But, other than that, it's a great looking jacket, nice and warm. I highly recommend this jacket.
Used this jacket for 6 months during my 2017 AT thru hike. During cold weather, it got used just about every day. It was surprisingly warm and insulated quite well even when it was wet. I wore my rain coat over it several times to block the wind. I used the jacket in 10 deg temps in the Smokey's and I stayed warm. I abused the jacket about every way possible and it's still in good shape. It got drug over rocks, thru trees and brush. It got rained on and it didn't always get washed per the instructions. There's not any rips or tears and while it doesn't look like a new jacket any more, I can't justify replacing it either.
This jacket is the most incredible piece of clothing I’ve ever owned. I have had this jacket for 5 years now, I’ve worn it over 1000 times, slept in it, hiked through brush, smoked it by a dozen campfires, and worn it snowboarding. This thing has taken jabs by pointy sticks that have brushed right off the jacket like some kind of armor, and slid down snowy mountain sides while snowboarding. To this day it has little to no noticeable wear and tear, I simply cannot believe the build quality of this jacket. At this point this jacket has sentimental value to me! Will be buying one for my dad. Thank you Patagonia!
I'm not one to leave reviews, but I feel the need to with this one. I'm bummed. I purchased this jacket in August 2022, and it's already falling apart at the stitching (December 2023), just over a year later. I wash as intended and really only wore this jacket a handful of times. It's noticeably falling apart, and for $200+, I was hoping it would hold up for a lifetime - rather than just over 1 year. I was a big fan of both Patagonia and REI, even investing in the REI membership. Unfortunately, the REI warranty period for members being just 1 year (1 winter season) is disappointing, considering the cost of this item. I expected better - so just a heads up!
Very Warm and comfortable But Not durable. I have 3 holes from wearing it to work in a hospital 8 times. I’ve not even been on the trail around a campfire. Taking it back
These are great jackets but I have found that they wear out if not treated carefully. I'm on my third one, and I use it primarily for warmth in camp, when taking breaks hiking, etc. With the previous two, I made the mistake of treating them as jackets for everyday wear; over time, the quilting stitches started to go on both (cosmetic problem only, at least initially), and the zipper wore out on one. I tend to be hard on clothing, and I think making any jacket light and packable involves some compromises on durability. But this fits me better than any of the others that REI stocks (it's not super-slim, and neither am I) and it;s still a great jacket.
I have to say, I really love this jacket overall. It’s light and keeps me warm here in oregon. My only complaint and concern is that for the price, I’ve had to return one already because the thread was pulling out and for a $200 dollar jacket that’s not something you expect, especially when I only wear it around town. I haven’t hiked or put this jacket through the ringer at all. I returned the first one and exchanged it for another one come to find out I found another thread pulling out. I’m torn because of the price of this jacket. I’m debating just returning it altogether and going with a different brand.
I've had this jacket for a few months now. On the upside, I find the build quality to be superb. I recently ran into a semi-sharp object while wearing the jacket and it didn't puncture the shell. It fits very well, and it's quite stylish. I get regular compliments on the jacket. I also like the elastic wrist holes. On the downside this jacket simply isn't warm. It is advertised as being very warm. I realize it's a thin, lightweight jacket. However, I find it to be no warmer than a lightweight fleece. If you buy it you will look good, but plan on wearing lots of undergarments if it's much colder than 60 degrees outside.
