The Upstride Jacket is made for fast and light uphill motion; designed with a superbreathable, moisture-managing 100% recycled bonded stretch knit face fabric with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. Finished off with an interior knit-grid backer, the Upstride slides effortlessly over skin and baselayers.
Patagonia's thoughtfu design team knocked it out of the park with the Upstride. A single-point-adjustable fixed hood with laminated visor is designed to fit without a helmet for uphill comfort, while also accommodating low-profile helmets for descending. Two oversized-zippered chest pockets double as vents and an additional zippered chest pocket secures your essentials, while a RECCO reflector brings the visibility when the white stuff begins to swirl.
All of that to say: The Upstride excels on long, high-output ski tours in predictable weather.
