Snowdrifter Jacket - Women's

H2No Performance is Patagonia's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof and breathable barrier in their jackets. This means you can stay dry from rain or snow while still allowing sweat to escape, keeping you comfortable during outdoor activities. It's perfect for those who enjoy hiking, skiing, or any adventure in wet conditions.

Choosing a jacket with PFC- and PFAS-free DWR treatment means you're opting for a more environmentally friendly product. These jackets repel water without using harmful chemicals that can pollute the environment. By selecting this option, you’re making a responsible choice for both your outdoor activities and the planet.

RECCO technology is a safety feature in outdoor gear that helps rescuers locate individuals buried in avalanches. The jacket includes a concealed RECCO reflector that can be detected by specialized search devices. This added layer of safety is especially important for those who venture into backcountry skiing or snowboarding.

A powder skirt is a built-in barrier at the waist of a ski or snowboard jacket that prevents snow from entering when you fall or ski in deep powder. It helps keep you warm and dry, making your experience on the slopes more enjoyable. Many powder skirts are adjustable, allowing for a customized fit to enhance comfort.

Underarm zippers are ventilation features located under the arms of the jacket. They can be opened to release excess heat and moisture, helping to regulate your body temperature during intense activities like skiing or snowboarding. This feature is particularly useful when you’re working hard and need to cool down without removing your jacket.

Absolutely! While these features are designed with skiing and snowboarding in mind, jackets with H2No Performance, PFC- and PFAS-free DWR treatment, and underarm zippers are also great for hiking, climbing, and other outdoor activities. They provide comfort, protection, and versatility, making them suitable for a variety of adventures.
