Patagonia primo jacket review.

If you want to buy one jacket and not have another one for as long as you can stand it then this is a great alternative to arcteryx and other high end jackets that only cater to skiers. From shoveling snow to plowing roads and everything in between. If you like your jacket to have a loose fit and be as tough as old boots you ll love the primo. It has a stretchy gore tex shell for rugged waterproofing and comfortable breathability.

The primo down jacket also features patagonia s touch point system a fantastic feature that hides cord locks inside the jacket making adjustment of the waist and hood easy while giving the gymnosperms look it up of little cottonwood canyon less to grab when riding through tight trees. It will keep you warm on the coldest days and is overkill for warmer ski destinations and sunny spring weather. Our verdict the patagonia primo puff is a warm well constructed weatherproof jacket that we love to wear on the slopes and off. Plumafill insulation adds an abundance of warmth that feels like down but it s synthetic to stay warm even if you happen to get wet.

The men s primo puff jacket is patagonia s warmest snow jacket for skiing snowboarding and surviving winter s day to day. The patagonia primo puff is a well constructed warm and weatherproof parka for cold ski conditions. Patagonia primo down jacket review i found the patagonia primo down men s jacket to be perfect for working a night job in jackson wyoming that frequently has me outside in harsh conditions. We ve given it an editors choice award this year because of how many boxes it ticks in terms of functionality weather resistance and durability.

For me at 5 11 and 40 chest the fit in medium is good allowing for layering i ve worn base layer fleece and gilet without feeling restricted and the cut allows for completely comfortable movement without anything pulling or binding. The boxy fit may deter some but the unassuming and neutral style will lure other users.
