Patagonia Guide Hoody (2012)

£155.00

A traditional soft shell made from a relatively simple polyester material, with no membrane to complicate things The Patagonia is one of the lighter tops on test and as such works well in a range of conditions. There’s no windproof membrane, so it’s very breathable, meaning it doubles up well as a mid-layer under a shell when the heavens open. ...

Patagonia Simple Guide

£105.00

Patagonia’s lightest soft shell is made from part-recycled polyester and is, itself, totally recyclable. It has Velcro adjustable cuffs and a drawcord-adjustable hem, so will trap or spill heat as required, but the collar isn’t adjustable, so it won’t fit quite as snugly. The fabric is DWR-treated so does a great job of shedding water, it breathes very well, and ...

Patagonia Capilene 3 Midweight

£45.00

A true turtle neck top, for a change, the neck shape really helping to keep the heat in with its double layer of fabric without being constrictive. The 100% polyester material is surprisingly soft against the skin with a softer inside and harder-wearing face on the outside. The dimpled construction on the inside really helps to trap warm air close ...

Patagonia Fitz Roy 2011

£190.00

If you don’t want a hood then the Patagonia Fitz Roy down jacket is a good choice. It makes use of recycled polyester so in theory it is better for the environment than others as it keeps pop bottles and worn garments out of landfill. It has a reasonable amount of down insulation inside so it feels pretty warm, although ...

Patagonia Capilene 3 zip-neck base layer

£37.00

One of the heavier and warmer tops on the market and also quite expensive for a polyester top. It’s made from 64% recycled fabric and is itself recyclable. It works well as a base-layer, wicking well and drying reasonably quickly, but it’s also warm enough and weather-resistant enough to cope on its own in milder conditions, where the high collar ...

Patagonia Guide

£120.00

The Guide offers good insulation and good weather resistance, too. Not quite as breathable as it might be when working hard, though. The pockets double as vents but the openings aren’t that big so don’t make as much difference as they might do. The zips are all DWR-treated so do a good job of keeping rain out, and the main ...

Patagonia Capilene 2 Zip 2009

£32.00

The Patagonia Capilene 2 Zip is a fine base layer: very light, with a loose fit that provides plenty of airflow, a relatively open weave that allows plenty of breathability, plus a good cut and a generous zip that means you won’t be overheating. Patagonia has used its own Capilene synthetic fabric, which wicks especially well and is treated with ...

PATAGONIA CAPILENE 2 ZIP

£32.00

Review: The lightweight fabric, made from 54% recycled polyester, is soft and stretchy. Works best as a base-layer rather than on its own. Wicks well, and doesn’t feel clammy when wet, but retains more odour than most.

Patagonia Micro PuffBall

£150.00

The women’s-specific cut is lovely, with better length and bottom coverage than some of the other ladies’ options featured in this review. This helps to shore up the reputation Patagonia has for technical but stylish clothing. The hood offers adjustment in the form of drawcords both around the face and at the back to control the volume. A drawcord hem ...

£70.00

This midweight fleece from Patagonia uses PCR fabric that feels warm and soft against the skin, and the fit is near perfect, although an extra inch on the sleeves would be good.
