Patagonia Triolet Jacket

Patagonia Triolet Jacket The bombproof shell for when conditions get serious. The Triolet is the jacket you reach for when the forecast looks ugly and you're going anyway. Three-layer GORE-TEX with a burly 75-denier face fabric — this isn't a spring touring shell, it's built for the kind of Sierra storms that shut resorts down. Ice climbing, mountaineering, high-alpine ski objectives — anywhere you need a shell that won't quit. It layers over everything without fighting you, the helmet-compatible hood stays put in wind, and pit zips give you somewhere to put the heat when you're moving hard. Chest pockets clear a harness. Hip pockets clear a pack belt. The details are dialed for people who actually use them. Best for: Ice climbing, mountaineering, high-alpine ski touring, resort days when conditions are genuinely bad, hiking in inclement weather.  Not for: High-output skinning in mild conditions — it'll cook you. See the Dawn Patrol for that. Fit: True to size. Size up one if you're layering a thick midlayer puffy underneath.
