Technical yet burly, Patagonia's workhorse Super Guides stretch, breathe, and resist weather on clean granite and alpine grovels alike. The superb, durable soft-shell fabric sheds snow and light rain while breathing freely and allowing unencumbered movement. It’s also lightly brushed on the inside for next-to-skin comfort in mild conditions. The no-frills design includes hand pockets that sit high, above the harness-line, and a gasket-style neck closure that forms a streamlined seal. The slim elastic cuffs, drawcorded hem and chest pocket zipper are all welded in. Articulated elbows make movement a breeze.
