H2No Performance is Patagonia's proprietary technology that features a waterproof and breathable fabric system. It keeps water out while allowing sweat and moisture to escape, making it ideal for outdoor activities in wet conditions. This means you can stay dry and comfortable, whether you're hiking in the rain or skiing in snowy weather.

ECONYL is a brand of regenerated nylon made from recycled materials, such as discarded fishing nets and other nylon waste. By using ECONYL, Patagonia helps reduce the need for new nylon production, which can be harmful to the environment. Choosing products made with ECONYL supports a more sustainable approach to fashion and helps minimize plastic waste in our oceans.

PFC-free DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent that does not contain harmful perfluorinated chemicals. This eco-friendly treatment makes fabrics water-resistant without contributing to environmental pollution. By opting for PFC-free DWR products, you are making a choice that is better for the planet while still enjoying reliable water resistance.

Fully sealed seams involve a construction technique where the seams of the fabric are sealed with waterproof tape. This prevents water from seeping through the stitched areas, significantly enhancing the garment's overall waterproof performance. If you’re planning to be in wet conditions, look for clothing with fully sealed seams for maximum protection.

A three-layer shell consists of an outer layer for durability and weather resistance, a middle layer for waterproofing and breathability, and an inner layer for comfort and moisture management. This combination allows for effective protection against the elements while ensuring you can move freely and stay comfortable during activities like hiking or climbing.

When choosing outdoor gear, consider the specific conditions you'll be facing. Look for features like H2No Performance for wet weather, fully sealed seams for added waterproofing, and a three-layer shell for comfort and protection.
