The Patagonia Down Sweater is one of those essential clothing items that most people tend to overlook when packing for a cold weather expedition. Comfy, warm, and lightweight, the Patagonia Sweater will probably be one of your most used items when outdoors. It features: - Superlight, windproof and water-resistant shell has high tear-strength - Quilted construction stabilizes the high-quality down - DWR-coated center-front zipper - External pockets: two handwarmers with DWR-coated zippers - Internal pocket: one zippered stretch-mesh that doubles as a stuff sack with carabiner clip-in loop - Nylon-bound elastic cuffs - Drawcord hem - Materials - Shell and lining: 1.4-oz 22-denier 100% all-recycled polyester mini-ripstop with Deluge® DWR finish - Materials - Insulation: 800-fill-power goose down - Weight: 349 g (12.3 oz) If there's one Achilles' Heel to the Down Sweater (and most Patagonia products in general) it's the price. Most people will shy away from the 9 price tag with out considering the fact that it's an item that you'll be wearing everyday, all-day out on the road. If you're gonna spend a lot of time outdoors and you need quality mid-layer for warmth, you might want to give this a look. Shop around at retailers and online for the best price you can.Special Thanks to YOUNGS BACKPACKING for hosting this review.
