Patagonia: Men's Stretch Element Jacket

A premier 3-layer waterproof/breathable technical shell, the Patagonia Stretch Element Jacket for Men delivers full stretch-woven mobility and durability, near-soft-shell breathability and a surprisingly soft hand. It's also compressible and made with stitch-free construction reinforced with exceptionally flexible tape to reduce weight and to keep seams dryer. Details include: water-resistant external zippers; two internal mesh drop-in and three secure external pockets; pit zips; drawcords for the hem and roll-down, 3-way-adjustable (and helmet-compatible) hood; supple die-cut tabs and elastic cuffs; new zipper garages; and an improved fit.
