PATAGONIA WHITE SMOKE JACKET (WOMEN'S)

Ward off backcountry storms with the supple, sheltering Patagonia White Smoke Jacket. It combines the uphill breathability and agility of a soft shell with storm-protective waterproof/breathable H2NoŽ panels where you need them: on the shoulders, elbows and backs of arms. Inside, soft textured polyester mesh moves moisture away from the body.

The White Smoke uses an innovative welded seam construction which enhances compressibility, water-resistance and durability, and minimizes weight. The contoured hood easily accommodates a helmet and offers adjustments for maintaining peripheral vision. Exterior pockets can be accessed under a harness or pack straps; the torso pockets are also fast-forward vents for airflow.

One internal mesh pocket holds climbing skins; the other is designed for an electronic device with cable routing holes for a headset. Features include an adjustable stretch storm skirt with gripper elastic, anatomically contoured elbows, integrated cordlocks to eliminate loose hardware DWR (durable water repellent) treated zippers. The Women's White Smoke has a contoured profile with room for movement. Imported.
