Made from a waxed cotton with an old-school, rugged feel, the Patagonia Dry Wax Cotton Men's Jacket is a weather-resistant layer built for everyday adventures. It sheds light rain and wind, softens with wear, and only looks better as it ages.

Why we like it:

The plant-based dry-wax finish is what gives it water resistance without the greasy feel or petroleum chemistry of traditional waxed jackets.

Features and Functions:

The shell is a 6.5 ounce cotton blend of Cotton in Conversion and postconsumer recycled cotton, treated with a Halley Stevensons candelilla dry-wax water-resistant finish, and the body and pockets are lined with a soft brushed cotton flannel twill. A stand collar, a snap-front closure, multiple hand and chest pockets, and Fair Trade Certified construction back a durable daily jacket.

Fit and Sizing:

It has a regular, relaxed cut with room to layer a flannel underneath, so order your normal size.

Bottom Line:

It is best as a rugged, water-resistant jacket for cool, damp days around town and the trailhead. Great for anyone who wants heritage style with real weather resistance.
