What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I packed this for a weekend at the lake and lived in it every evening once the sun dropped. The hood came in clutch on a breezy night around the fire, and the fleece stayed soft even after getting packed down in my bag all week."Evenings at the lake cool off fast, and the Retro Pile Hooded Jacket is what we reach for once the sun dips behind the tree line. Patagonia built this one from plush, double-sided shearling fleece, a texture that's kept climbers and campers coming back for decades, now spun from 100% recycled polyester without losing any of that softness. The three-piece hood pulls up fast and cinches down with a zip-through collar, trapping warmth right where a breeze likes to sneak in. A horizontal chest pocket and two mesh-lined hand pockets close up with zippers and webbing pulls, and elastic binding at the cuffs and hem keeps drafts from creeping in while we sit around doing nothing in particular.
