Patagonia Torrentshell Stretch Jacket and Pants - REVIEW
Winter Is Over. Isothermal snow plagues the mountain tops where Whisky Jacks have long since had corn. Echos of hoots and hollers and shadows of lost GoPros soon become the last residents of winters' backcountry. One by one we retire our skis. Average temperatures have pushed dawn patrol ahead 6 months. But don't fret, as spring returns for another year, so do rainbows. And with no reason to be any less adventurous, a change in your outdoor uniform may inspire. Patagonia's Torrentshell Stretch Jacket is recommended for anyone from the hardcore outdoor enthusiasts, who won't let a little stormy weather ruin their fun and those made of sugar. Aptly named, this Nylon H2No rain shield will protect anyone in the most torrential of downpours. No need to cower in this weather, the RipStop stretch forearms and shoulder blades keep you mobile and venting pit zips allow to cool off from battling the steeps.
