Summary

Patagonia Powder Town Insulated Ski Jacket is a comfortable, mobility-focused resort jacket with lightweight insulation, a cozy interior, and a well-thought-out pocket layout. It uses a 2-layer H2No waterproof membrane and a relatively thin 150D polyester shell, delivering solid warmth and weather protection for most resort days but not the heaviest wet conditions.

Pros

  • +Lightweight insulation with low bulk and good mobility
  • +Ergonomic, flexible fit with comfortable interior
  • +Cozy taffeta liner and puffy-like quilted construction
  • +Practical pocket layout with six pockets and a helmet-friendly hood

Cons

  • -Thin polyester shell wets out in sustained moisture
  • -Patagonia’s H2No membrane isn’t as durable as Gore-Tex
  • -Bland design/style could be more appealing
  • -Not ideal for aggressive tree skiing or very wet days

  • +Very comfortable with a roomy, easy-to-layer fit
  • +Strong weather resistance for snowy and windy days
  • +Thoughtful pockets and storage (large internal drop pocket, multiple pockets) and a powder skirt that clips to pants

Cons

  • -Runs large and boxy
  • -Waterproofing degradation over time in heavy use
  • -Hand pockets zippers are not water-resistant (covered by flap) in deep snow conditions
