The Women's Patagonia Granite Crest Rain Jacket is a 3-layer shell built of NetPlus postconsumer recycled nylon ripstop, with a slick jersey backer. The waterproof and breathable jacket has a durable water repellent finish to keep you dry when the rain pours down, and the hood with a laminated visor effectively sheds water off the head and away from the face. A center-front zipper and chest pocket have watertight zips and zipper garages; two welt handwarmer pockets stay clear of the pack waistbelt or a harness, and two-way welted pit zips provide ventilation, offering cooling without having to open the front of the jacket.
