When it rains, it pours and when it pours while you’re hiking, well, you better have a good jacket. You can get just as wet in a day under dripping leaves as you do in a few moments of torrential downpour, so either way it pays to be wearing the Patagonia Torrentshell Jacket. As you’d expect, it’s waterproof and windproof, but your jaded minds will be blown to learn it’s also very breathable thanks to a new durable water repellent Patagonia calls Deluge. The entire jacket stuffs into one of the hand warmer pockets so you never have to hike without it.
