"The Patagonia Classic Retro-X Jacket is the pile-fleece silhouette that predates the technical midlayer era, and it wears exactly like that history suggests: a hip-length, relaxed cut that layers over a base layer in the morning and stays on through camp chores and the drive home. The recycled construction runs from body to trim to lining without a single virgin-material shortcut. What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I keep coming back to this one because the half-inch pile has that broken-in softness from the first wear. It's the jacket I grab off the hook without thinking about it."""
