Customer Reviews for the Integral Patagonia Men's Jacket

Ricklv - April 2, 2011

Good all-around jacket
I got this jacket after comparing it with the North Face Bionic and the Marmot. The fit, the fabric, and zippers (often overlooked but important when using a lot) are better on the Patagonia. The fit is probably better on the Marmot but it's more expensive. The Patagonia gives better quality and value overall. The only con I can think of is that the pocket liners which are made of some sort of netting, while it may be good if water gets in, get the wind in too so that you need to zip up the pocket zippers on a windy day.
