Patagonia Winter Guide Jacket - Fleece Lined (For Women)

This coat was advertised "for hardcore winter activities" and "designed to guide you through the harshest of conditions." When held up to a light, you could see through the fabric. It is way too light for a Wisconsin winter. Spring...yes.

This jacket is great for moderate cold and rain. In extreme cold, layer as you normally would. As all of Patagonia's products, it is very well made and durable. It is stylish and comfortable. I have gotten many compliments on its from friends.

Nice jacket, well made with thought out, useful details. Lightweight with a thin fleece lining - i was actually expecting it to be a little warmer than it was. It has a very average fit (size M), maybe even a little roomy. Would be a great ski shell for the west - it's softshell with enough integrity to stand up to a dose of weather. I just didn't love it: it felt too similar to other shell jackets I own, it was a more technical piece than i was looking for, it had a boxier, bulkier fit than i wanted. I ended up exchanging for a different style.

Seems great right now, look forward to trying it in the winter. Can't beat this price!

Got this jacket because I wanted a warm rain jacket. Only had size L. Got it since I have a Large in other Patagonia jackets. This one was too big. I want to keep it but it really is too big. I like the fleece lining. Just what I wanted! Sad to let it go but It's going back.
