Description

Field Notes: With an accommodating torso size and action-capable shoulder seams, the 2.5-layer Torrentshell is a bad-weather staple at an outstanding price. Dual hem toggles tighten the fit in wind and rain while two-way adjustment of the mid-volume hood is effective. Taken to extremes by testers in snowy spring conditions, Patagonia goes center-of-the-target for most hikers, travelers and occasional paddlers. With a shorter back length and dual pockets shifted lower on the front, backpacking is not this lightweight jacket’s strength. Handwarmer pockets are generous enough for hat, light gloves, energy bar and compass while the hood visor is the ideal size and stiffness to protect while still permitting full visibility. Breathability makes for comfortable all-day wear in cooler conditions if needed as pit zips effectively exhale heat and moisture.  

Pros: Compact, high utility, comfortable fit when a midlayer needed, outstanding value

Cons: Zipper pulls are small and challenging to manage, jacket’s shorter length not for all applications

Tester Comments: “A pleasure to travel with this piece around the United States. Unlike many others, Patagonia’s Torrentshell transitions from travel to trail and looks the part everywhere (the stowable hood really helps). Materials, design and construction outpace other under-$150 jackets. And the hood alone separates it from other affordable options.”
