Patagonia Rubicon Rider Jacket

The Women's Rubicon Rider Jacket from Patagonia is an insulated soft-shell/hard-shell hybrid featuring durable, waterproof/breathable performance for carving vertical in cold conditions. At the park or cutting up big lines, all-out skiers and riders need a balance of motion-friendly design with unflinching storm protection. Patagonia's Rubicon Rider, insulated and made with recycled materials, possesses that unique blend. It has a soft-shell core with burly hard-shell reinforcements to resist shaky weather and dicey terrain. The supple ripstop shell is soft, water-resistant and decidedly breathable for high-output endeavors.



Two-layer waterproof panels, made from recycled materials, beef up the shoulders and arms to increase abrasion-resistance and weather protection. A lightweight, highly compressible layer of 150-g recycled polyester insulation warms even when wet to keep you carving when the mercury bottoms out. Rubicon Rider's quilted construction throughout the body and arms reduces bulk without sacrificing warmth. For a smooth flow over layers, the interior is lined with easy-glide recycled polyester.



At the neck, an adjustable gasket protects chin from cold air and zipper rub; the collar is lined with brushed polyester. Finer points include a stretch powder skirt, a removable, helmet-compatible hood, articulated elbows and an integrated drawcord at the bottom hem. With two insulated handwarmer pockets, a chest pocket, a left-sleeve pocket and two internal mesh pockets (one sized for an audio device, with holes for routing cables to your helmet).



The women-specific fit is contoured, with room for layering.
