Ensure your preparation when the weather changes abruptly with the Patagonia Diamond Quilt Bomber Hoody Jacket. Crafted from windproof and water-resistant recycled polyester with high tensile thread for durability, this jacket's diamond-quilting pattern traps heat while reducing bulk. A layer of 80-g Thermogreen® polyester insulation efficiently traps heat while the deep hand warmer pockets and elastic cuffs keep the wind out so you stay warm and dry.
Recycled Polyester - Saves about 4.5 plastic bottles from the landfill per garment.
Polyester Fill - Polyester insulation may not be as warm or light as down, but it's far easier to clean and performs better in wet conditions. If cost is a concern or you live in a wet climate, polyester insulation might be your best option.
Synthetic insulation is measured in grams, so a jacket with a 80g rating simply means that a 1 meter by 1 meter piece of that particular jacket's insulation weighs 80 grams. The higher the rating, the warmer the jacket.
Water Resistant Fabric - A Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish allows fabric to shed moisture and prevents saturation to keep you warmer. DWR also helps repel oils and stains which can affect the fabric's breathability. Clothing with a DWR finish is a must in snowy or wet conditions.
