Gear Shed: Patagonia Storm Shift Jacket and Pants

The waterproof, windproof Storm Shift Jacket (available in women’s and men’s) is the ultimate in snag-free layering, and complements riders’ natural movement. It’s also made of PFAS-free GORE-TEX—the fabric, membrane and DWR finish do not contain any nasty perfluorinated chemicals.

A cozy tricot-knit liner—unique for this type of hardshell—is warm and wicks moisture to provide lasting storm protection and comfort for all types of conditions. With a refined fit, clean styling and technical features, the Storm Shift Jacket is built for layering against the toughest conditions so you can shred longer in earth’s coldest and wettest weather. And it’s Fair Trade Certified sewn.

Features

• Extra-tough, 2-layer 100% recycled polyester PFAS-free GORE-TEX fabric for durable waterproof/breathable and windproof protection contains no perfluorinated chemicals in the fabric, membrane and DWR; body-mapped tricot-knit lining textured in a zigzag pattern wicks moisture and dries quickly.
• Helmet-compatible, two-way-adjustable hood with laminated visor for optimal visibility in bad conditions; tall collar protects neck and face, even with hood down.
• Easy-access hem adjustment on drawcord exits into handwarmer pockets for easy adjustment.
• Easy-access pit zips; watertight, coated zippers; low-profile cuffs secure over or under gloves.
• Adjustable powder gasket can be cinched for a tight seal or lies flat when not in use; webbing loop at center back connects to any Patagonia snow pants.
• Two zippered handwarmer pockets; zippered chest pocket; zippered forearm pocket; interior zippered pocket; interior drop pocket.

Patagonia Storm Shift Pants

The waterproof, windproof Storm Shift Pants (available in women’s and men’s) are made of the same PFAS-free GORE-TEX material as the jacket. And the same tricot-knit lining means warmth and wicking properties—and a smooth glide when you’re pulling the pants over your base layers.
