The Exosphere Jacket by Patagonia is a H2No Performance Standard garment with a hard-shell. The jacket is specifically designed for alpine conditions, making it the perfect choice for those who ski or mountain hike.
The jacket is engineered with three layers of nylon that will keep the wearer warm, without feeling constricting. The hard shell weathers the elements, while the breathable membrane underneath provides flexibility and breathability, guaranteeing maximum comfort.
A durable water-repellent fabric finish not only repels rain and snow, but also allows the garment to dry at a much quicker rate. It ensures that the outer layer of the jacket will stay as dry as possible, allowing the breathable layer below to operate at its full capacity.
