A full-coverage and fully featured version of Patagonia's most popular rainwear, the Men's Torrentshell Parka is made of a 2.5-layer waterproof/breathable H2No barrier and Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish. The features add comfort: a roll-down adjustable hood with laminated visor, a 2-way center front zipper and pit zips with storm flaps, self-fabric hook-and-loop cuff closures, a drawcord hem and microfleece-lined neck and chin. The longer, parka length is designed to fit over a sportscoat. Pockets: two external handwarmers, one internal mesh drop-in and a zippered interior that the parka stuffs into. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

A Serious Rain Jacket
I purchased this Patagonia rain parka because it was on sale at an attractive price. The quality, durability and functionality of Patagonia products are top-notch, and so is the price. Here was a great deal, in a high-visibility color to boot! This parka is lightweight, comfortable, and has many details which make it outstanding. The adjustable Velcro closures at the cuffs, the extra length, and the "high-rise" zipper (up to the chin) all contribute to a garment which will keep you dry under the worst conditions. The breathable fabric keeps rain off yet lets water vapor out, so you are sweat-free and comfortable. Finally, the whole garment can be rolled up into a very small space for travel. Five stars !

Great Rain Jacket
Great Jacket. Water proof and comfortable. Fit is a little big, and arms run a little long, which is part of design as it states made to wear over sports coats, otherwise happy with coat.
