Patagonia goes to Whitewater for 2,000 vertical feet of Backside Bowl bliss, which most days translates to mean, damp cold. The Rubicon combines tough shell fabric and stay warm when wet insulation to keep you warm and comfortable out there while everyone else is holed up with a latt and chili mac. The exterior is made of durable, 100% polyester ripstop with a DWR durable water repellent finish to snub wind and moisture. Inside, a soft layer of compressible Thermogreen polyester 90% recycled insulation adds heat to thwart icebox temperatures. Finer points include articulated arms pit zips an easy gliding liner a zip off powder skirt with webbing loop that attaches to any Patagonia snow pants a helmet compatible hood with a single hand adjustment zippered pockets, including two handwarmers, one chest pocket, an interior media pocket with cable routing and one internal stash. There's also an internal drop in for gloves and goggles and an embedded RECCO avalanche rescue reflector.
