Patagonia makes the Powder Bowl Jacket for the season-long chase of the perfect ride. It's our most versatile hard shell for going anywhere, in any condition. Made with GORE-TEX® technology, the 2-layer shell features a GORE-TEX® membrane bonded to a durable polyester fabric for absolute waterproof/breathable protection. A DWR (durable water repellent) finish increases wet-weather performance and keeps the shell dry. The brushed polyester mesh lining wicks moisture, and pit zips quickly release heat. The two-way-adjustable, helmet-compatible hood has a laminated visor for optimal visibility; our Touch Point System™ embeds cord locks in the hood and hem for easy adjustability and to eliminate loose ends. Other details include coated, watertight Slim Zip zippers, a fully featured powder skirt (with webbing loops that connect to any Patagonia® snow pants) and a pleated cuff gusset.

• Durable 2-layer polyester GORE-TEX fabric keeps you dry during a heavy snowstorm; mesh lining wicks away moisture

• Slim Zip installation with watertight-coated zippers reduce bulk and weight


• Pit zips quickly release heat; pleated gusset comfortably secures cuff over or under gloves with less bulk
