Patagonia powder bowl jacket review.

Built with a 100 recycled polyester gore tex face fabric the patagonia men s powder bowl pants regular perform in a full range of mountain conditions. Patagonia s powder bowl jacket is a classic shell that would look at home on almost any skier. Like all patagonia jackets the powder bowl is well built and it comes with a good warranty. The tough protective gore tex fabric is water and wind proof to keep you dry on storm days and block the wind from permeating into your layers when it s gusting and is also impressively breathable to prevent you from overheating when you re working hard in deep.

The 2013 patagonia powder bowl has gore tex that makes it more waterproof than the older models. The powder bowl certainly wasn t the most style y jacket of the bunch this year but it s like an elder statesman refined and elegant. Designed with a two layer gore tex membrane and a durable recycled polyester shell this jacket keeps you bone dry when you re lucky enough to be graced with a heavy powder. The patagonia powder bowl jacket was the one jacket that comes with me anytime i went skiing or snowboarding at a ski resort this winter.

This is a jacket designed to keep you protected in almost any conditions out on the mountain and as such is bursting with high quality features. The 2012 has a 3 layer in the critical areas. We review the patagonia powder bowl ski jacket a serious contender this season just watch out for sizing if ordering online the patagonia powder bowl is aimed squarely at the freeride market with its loose fit and bold colourways. We review it on the slopes to see how it performs.

This jacket is well thought out and a great investment. It doesn t have the fitted body of other jackets we tested but it still falls well below the waist which we find essential for both good looks and function. The tough 2 layer gore tex fabric is built for durability but also.
