Not all women's outdoor apparel is created equal. Patagonia cuts a fine style of eco-smart, utterly reliable clothing and gear for women who like to get the good times rolling in the great outdoors. Worth gifting this season:
Flash me! When the weather outside seems mixed-up, slip into the versatile R1 Flash Pullover, a highly breathable baselayer (made with earth-friendly recycled polyester content) that can be mixed and matched with other layers for comfortable, moisture-wicking insulation. A slim, feminine fit lets you wear it casually about town or for active outdoor endeavors (100% recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program).
Forget Frigid: When the cold wind blows, your bones don't have to feel the chill. The R4 Jacket is Patagonia's warmest fleece, with a stretchy windproof laminate sandwiched between toasty and reliable fibers. With sleek contouring and four colors to choose from, the R4 is ideal for a windy day or for wearing under a shell for outdoor adventures (100% recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program).
That's "Primo" Donna to You: For skiers and snowboarders looking to carve Tahoe's terrain this season, make the Women's Primo Jacket a key piece of go-to gear. Made from recycled materials that won't shred when you're shredding, this jacket offers waterproof and breathable hard-shell protection that can stretch with your every move.
BONUS REMINDER: With each purchase you make, Patagonia will gift wrap it in reusable cloth at no charge—only for Weekend Sherpa subscribers (mention at checkout).
