Runs large but good if you plan to layer. - Patagonia Insulated Powder Bowl Jacket - Mens

Overall I’m a bit disappointed in this product from Patagonia. I have many of their products but this seems to be missing some key items.

1. Fit is very big on this item. Again good if you plan to layer I guess this is ok but I generally wear a ski jacket and base layer. So this leaves a lot of room. I can’t really comment on the warmth of this. As I wore it for 3 days of skiing when temps were mid 30’s up to mid 40’s. So it was open most of the time.

2. Zippers have a very fine tooth to them! They are the waterproof ones which is nice but it’s very hard to open the pit zips because the zipper does not slide smoothly. I could not open them with gloves on at all. All zippers have very short pulls on them too so I’ll have to add longer ones from paracord.

So those are the 2 major issues I have with the jacket. I just wish they had thought through the details of the jacket a little more. When you are spending $400+ on something you expect it to be great all the way around. I hope Patagonia fixes these issues in the next version.
