The Patagonia Departer Men’s Gore-Tex Jacket is a very well built flattering fitting bombproof jacket for those that see a lot of wet weather. It also has a very sleek pocketless minimalist look to it even though it’s got 3 very usable pockets.  It’s great for those that want to ride the resort or throw on a pack and hit the backcountry.  It’s also very thin for a 2 layer Gore-Tex jacket that’s almost as packable as 3 layer Gore-Tex Jackets and has great helmet compatibility.
