Stretch Rainshadow Jacket - Men's

Any forest can become a rain forest quickly, and when you're out on the trail you don't need a bulky or restrictive shell to get the protection you need in wet weather, at least not with the Patagonia Stretch Rainshadow Jacket. This versatile shell provides fully waterproof protection when you get caught out in the downpour, but it does so in a stretchy and lightweight package that'll let you walk, hike, and scramble freely with both comfort and protection. The H2No membrane delivers waterproof and breathable protection when the skies open up, and the underarm vents ensure that you won't get too stuffy as you move up steep trails and through growing puddles.

A quick one-pull adjustment hood offers snug coverage against the storm, and even fits over an alpine helmet for use on high-altitude mountaineering trips. When blue skies return, the entire jacket can fold into its chest pocket and easily hide away thanks to its carabiner loop and super-compact size. Plus, it's got a new 100% recycled nylon construction that'll let you feel good about your purchase as you enjoy the great outdoors.
