Downdrift Jacket for Norway in December?

Hi everyone!

I’ll be traveling to Norway and Sweden this December, and I just ordered this jacket. I’d love to hear from anyone who owns it or has used it in similar winter conditions.

I’m from a country where temperatures like those in Scandinavia are very uncommon, so this will be a completely new experience for me. Would you recommend bringing any additional layers or gear? Also, is this jacket really as good as the reviews on Patagonia’s website suggest?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice you can share.

Thank you!

Matching Jacket Recommendations? (2 Year Anniversary Gift for BF)

Hi everyone! Like the title says I would just like some gift ideas for my boyfriend and I for our 2 year anniversary that is coming up. Ideally I'd want something I can get in a matching (different colorways) set.

Specifically for hiking!

Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated :)

Does anyone know what pack this is?

I’ve seen some with a more canvas body but this one has a real light weight nylon fabric across the back, any leads would be appreciated 🤙

Patagonia Burlington Gift Card use?

Hi! I received a gift card from Patagonia Burlington. Has anyone ever used one before? I don’t live near the Burlington location. Does anyone know if I can use this on the regular Patagonia website?

Torrentshell stain removal

Looking for advice before I give up on this jacket.

My Patagonia Torrentshell has a few stains that showed up recently. I’m not 100% sure of the cause, but at some point sunscreen leaked onto it and I never washed it off right away, so that’s my best guess. The odd part is the fabric itself looks bleached in the stained spots, not just discolored like a typical grease or dirt stain.

I’ve tried applying dish soap directly to the spots and letting it sit, but the stains are still there.

A few questions for anyone who’s dealt with this before:
• Is this actually consistent with a sunscreen stain, or does it sound like something else (mildew, DEET, oxidation)?
• Anything beyond dish soap worth trying? I’ve seen people mention oxygen bleach soaks, white vinegar soaks, and Nikwax Tech Wash, but wasn’t sure what’s safe for this kind of shell fabric.
• Is this basically permanent at this point?

Appreciate any input or advice

Black hole roller duffel - 100 L vs 70 L

Looking for a little input here - I have been eyeing up the black hole roller duffel for quite a while now but I am torn on what size to get. I was looking for a luggage bag for international climbing trips primarily that require flying - something that could hold my rope bag with a 60-70 m rope, several quick draws, helmet, shoes, harness, and maybe a small trad rack, and whatever clothes, etc. I would want for the trip. Intuitively I would like the 100 L because its quite a bit bigger for a relatively small amount of money. However, I am worried it'll be overkill and too big for what I need. Does anyone have any input on this?

Torrentshell 3L or GC?

I’m looking for a Patagonia rain jacket for everyday use and can’t decide between the Torrentshell 3L and the Granite Crest.

My use would be a mix of:
Everyday wear around town
Walking and hiking
Commuting by bike to and from work (occasionally)
Grocery shopping and errands in bad weather
General outdoor use
I’m based in a Scandinavian country if that matters.

I’m not doing any serious mountaineering or extreme backpacking, but I do want something that can handle heavy rain and last for years.

Is the Granite Crest worth the extra money for this kind of use, or is the Torrentshell the better all-around choice?

Patagonia Midlayer for Vancouver Island in Fall (Mid-September)?

Hi there, I could use some help building a wardrobe for a trip to Canada in mid-September.

We'll be exploring Vancouver Island, so I'm expecting roughly mid-40s at night and mid/high-60s° during the day. We'll be on the coast, so I'm planning for some rain, and I also tend to always run cold.

Right now I have:

  • Capilene Cool Daily Long Sleeve
  • Houdini
  • Nano Puff
  • Torrentshell rain jacket for actual rain

I'm looking for a midlayer that could also work well as a standalone piece when it's cool but not raining. We'll mostly be hiking and walking along the beach (nothing super strenuous).

I've been reading a lot, but can't decide between the Nano Air Light Hybrid and the Nano Air Ultralight Hoody. It also seems like the regular Nano Air that people often recommend isn't available anymore (at least I can't find it on the REI or Patagonia website).

I'd prefer something with a more relaxed fit rather than a slim, athletic fit.

Or should I be looking at something in the R1 lineup instead? I'd love to hear what people would recommend for these conditions. Thanks!!

How long does Patagonia Capilene Cool Daily last?

For those who've owned Capilene Cool Daily shirts for a while, how well does the color hold up after lots of washes (especially black), and how long does the odor control remain effective? I'm interested in long-term experiences after a year or more of regular wear and washing.

confirm can’t fix: DIY tape/patch kit on nanopuff

Can this be repaired if i send it in?

Anyone use tenacious tape/patch-kit instead and how did it turn out?

was going to send it in but after reading their site it sounds like repair tape is a prudent solution.

https://help.patagonia.com/s/article/How-do-I-know-if-my-item-can-be-repaired

>> If you have a small hole or tear, a patch of Tenacious Tape is usually all you need.

I ordered clear tape and will probably go that route but decided to post to learn what others have done.

Cleaning a vintage anorak jacket

Hello,

I recently thrifted this stylish 90s jacket, but I’m unsure of how to wash it and whether the condition the lining at the neck (pictured) will be a problem. I realize this is probably a very basic question, but I don’t know whether what I’ve read about maintaining such jackets would apply to one so old. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Fix holes in new Torrentshell

Bought this jacket from a private seller (probably commercial seller getting rid of B-Grade) as new and noticed these holes

What’s the best way to fix this? Is it possible to fix it in a way you barely see it from the outside?

My best take would be just using seam tape on the inside

Any recommendations for a windbreaker that’s a little heavier than the houdini?

What the title says! Does anybody have any recs for a windbreaker that’s lightweight but not quite as “nothing” feeling as the houdini? Not the insult the houdini- it just feels about as thick as paper lol. I live in the transatlantic northeast so we have a lot of mild temperate days.

New M10 Storm - performance expectations?

First wear for this jacket, steady but not torrential rain for about an hour - was pretty surprised the surface stopped beading up water and started absorbing it within a few minutes. The bubbly/orange peel like texture seems off, too. Does this look like normal performance for the current H2NO? The last hardshell I bought was several years ago and it still sheds water like a champ.

I am not sure if the jacket actually leaked to the inside, but it became heavy, cold, and clammy and very uncomfortable to wear basically immediately - so much for breathable. I reached out to Patagonia CS and they suggested sending it in for a warranty review - they didn’t look at photos - but I am trying to get a sense of how likely this is to be a defect vs typical performance and whether I just need to adjust my expectations first. I have a big trip coming up and if this is normal I won’t bother trying to get it done before the trip.

Terravia 36L - does it hold up?

I haven’t seen any updated thoughts on the Terravia 36 in a while, so I figured I’d ask again.

I’m considering it as an all-around pack for international travel, day hikes, and 1–2 night backpacking trips. For those who own one, how has it held up? Any likes, dislikes, or things you wish you knew before buying? I’d also love to hear how it carries heavier loads and whether you’d buy it again.

Rain Jacket Question

Hi! I am trying to decide between spending $270 on a new triolet rain jacket or $70 on a Fall 2020 Pluma Rain Jacket. I know rain jackets don't always hold up the best, but wondering if the Pluma would still be good after 6 years for $200 cheaper... hard choice would love your thoughts! thank you!
