Aside from stunning landscapes, Southern Patagonia is known for one
thing: wet weather. For trekking and hiking in drenching conditions, our
Torrentshell Jacket provides H2No® Performance Standard protection
that's durable, lightweight and simple. The 2.5-layer nylon jacket has a
waterproof/breathable barrier, a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent)
finish and stuffs into one of two zippered handwarmer pockets (with a
carabiner clip-in loop); the hood rolls down, stows away, and has a
laminated visor; the center zipper has exterior and interior storm
flaps; and the ventilating pit zips have storm flaps and Deluge
DWR-treated zippers. With a microfleece-lined neck, hook-and loop cuff
closures and a drawcord hem.
2.5-layer H2No®
Performance Standard shell fabrics are waterproof, windproof, breathable
and highly packable. They combine a water-repellent shell fabric with a
waterproof barrier and a raised pattern on the inside, instead of the
interior scrim used in 3-layer fabrics. The raised pattern makes
2.5-layer fabric light and compressible, while still protecting the
waterproof barrier.
