Summary
The Patagonia Jackson Glacier is a warm, comfortable midrange winter parka with solid weather protection thanks to a 2-layer H2No membrane. It fits like a tailored jacket, offers balanced warmth for temps around freezing, but its storage is sparse and it wets out in heavy rain; overall it’s a strong value for milder winter conditions.
Pros
- +A versatile winter jacket for everything but the coldest of temps.
- +2-layer H2No waterproofing doesn’t let through wet snow or rain.
- +700-fill down ups the coziness factor.
Cons
- -Limited storage, with only three pockets.
- -Fabric wets out relatively quickly.
- -Thick outer fabric isn’t very soft, but will resist rips and abrasion.
