The patagonia refugitive is unique to this review due to the stretchiness of its face fabric paired with the gore tex 3l membrane.
Patagonia men s triolet jacket review.
The patagonia triolet jacket is a well designed weatherproof breathable technical shell ideal for mountain adventures.
The patagonia triolet is the only jacket in this review that uses standard 3 layer gore tex without the new c knit backer.
If you re going to need a do it all shell that can thrive in the fiercest alpine environments look no further than the patagonia men s triolet jacket.
Gore claims that the c knit backer improves breathability by up to 15 percent so we wonder why it wasn t used for this jacket.
I definitely like it better than my old go to the marmot troll wall and would recommend it for anyone seeking a technical shell.
Hands on review of the patagonia refugitive.
Light sturdy and durably waterproof this jacket guarantees that you re ready for whiteouts driving rains and high velocity alpine winds.
Further the triolet comes with extras like an internal mesh pocket and a button system that allows you to connect the jacket with a patagonia snow pant.
No other jacket using this membrane was so stretchy and supple one of the most valuable characteristics for a jacket designed for movement.
But the galvanized is the clear leader in stretchiness and breathability and it weighs more than an ounce less 15 5 oz.
It gets my thumbs up and is currently my go to hard shell jacket.
Patagonia triolet jacket review far from being a flushable run of the mill hardshell the patagonia triolet jacket is a two ply 2l gore tex shell that provides a clean functional budget friendly jacket for those of us that like to get after it.
