I really recommend this jacket!
Very light waterproof and windproof jacket. Ideal as a third layer and goes everywhere thanks to its reduced size and weight. This Patagonia jacket replaces my old NorthFace light summit series model. All without PFC! a big plus I think.
The design is well thought out for this Granite Crest: the collar rises very high to ward off wind and snow, the hood is adjustable to stay in place in case of severe weather. The seams and closures are waterproof. Pocket on the chest is a little extra too. The closure attachments are made of simple cord, which allows them to be replaced easily. This too is ingenious. The size of the jacket is large enough to use the jacket in winter with many layers underneath.
The only downside in my opinion: the Velcro fasteners to tighten the wrists. The "scratch" fabric may degrade a little faster than other systems.
