Like a masterful magician, the Patagonia Women's Houdini Jacket packs away into the smallest spaces, lending itself to ultra-light trail runs, minimalist backcountry missions, and approaches to remote crags. In fact, you'll find that it effortlessly folds into its zippered chest pocket, and you can attach it to your favorite pack with its reinforced carabiner clip. The lightweight polyester ripstop shell is both wind and water-resistant, with a moisture-shedding DWR finish for extra protection from the elements. Its one-pull adjustable hood cinches tightly during inclement conditions without restricting peripheral vision. Other key features include a drawcord-bound hem, half-elastic cuffs, and reflective logos. Note that the Houdini Jacket sports a slim fit that's been revised (i. e. more shoulder room than before) for wearing over baselayers or low-profile midlayers.
