The Patagonia SnowDrifter is a shell built around the H2No Performance Standard 3-layer construction, a fully sealed, stretch-woven face fabric that moves with the body rather than fighting it on a long skin track or a deep-powder turn. The recycled polyester knit lining keeps the interior smooth against a base layer, and the PFC-free DWR finish handles precipitation without the fluorinated chemistry. RECCO reflector and a lifetime warranty round out a jacket that earns its place in a backcountry kit. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The powder skirt snaps tight enough to seal out a face-shot burial, and the underarm zips crack open fast when the skin track heats up. All without the bulk that usually comes with a jacket built this bomber."
