The Patagonia Snowfarer Insulated Women's Jacket is a cozy, all-mountain ski jacket that folds weather protection and warmth into one layer. Waterproof, breathable and quilted with built-in insulation, it takes the guesswork out of dressing for a cold day on the hill.

Why we like it:

The quilted insulation pattern is a nice touch, keeping the synthetic fill evenly distributed so there are no cold spots as you ride.

Features and Functions:

A 150 denier postconsumer recycled polyester face, laminated as a two-layer H2No Performance Standard shell, makes the jacket waterproof to around 20000 millimeters with critically taped seams and a DWR finish, then quilts in 150 gram Thermogreen recycled insulation through the body and 80 gram in the sleeves. A fixed helmet-compatible hood with a laminated visor, a tall brushed-lined collar, pit zips, and a concealed RECCO reflector complete the package, all under Fair Trade Certified sewing.

Fit and Sizing:

It has a relaxed fit with space for layers underneath, and sizing comes out true.

Bottom Line:

It is best for cold resort days when you want a warm, waterproof jacket you can throw on and go. Great for women who prefer an insulated shell over a shell-and-midlayer system.
