PATAGONIA ALPINE GUIDE SOFT SHELL JACKET PURPLE SIZE SMALL EUC

the Alpine Guide Jacket that is a softshell jacket that can hold up to the toughest of outdoor and weather situations. The Patagonia Alpine Guide Jacket uses Polartec Power Shield which often combines what is two or three separate layers into one layer that is both lightly insulated, highly water resistant, and abrasion resistant. This type of material lends itself best to those who are in constant motion in the jacket. It is not as stiff as a 3 layer hard shell, yet it provides a similar amount of protection with a small amount of fleece insulation. If you find yourself in constant motion in activities such as backcountry skiing or nordic skiing, you can get away with a long sleeve tech top in temperatures above 25’ish on average. The zipper on the front of the Patagonia Alpine Guide Jacket has larger teeth which allows you to zip and unzip the jacket very quickly and easily. On the inside of the front zipper, there is a vertical piece of fabric that keeps the weather from getting into the jacket and cooling you down. There are two hip level pockets that are are plenty big, but are a little tough to put backcountry ski skins in. There is a piece of fabric that covers this zipper and provides a nice clean look. Size Small, approximately 19.5” from underarm to underarm and 25” length from shoulder Excellent condition
