Patagonia Women's R1 Air Full-Zip Hoody

Perfect for stowing away and pulling out when you stop moving, or when you need full dexterity in your arms, the Patagonia Women's Down Sweater Vest is designed to keep you warm on a windy day. The 800-fill power goose down means warmth at a low weight and a small pack size, neatly tucking into its interior pocket to save you carrying an extra bag around for it. Nylon-bound elastic will help to hold the vest around the shoulders, and the hem can also be cinched in, so the warmth doesn't escape.

The women's Madris ML Jacket by Mammut is a great midlayer fleece jacket with windproof properties and increased comfort. Thanks to its PFC-free DWR coating it's also water-repellent so you'll be well protected from the elements on hikes and in everyday life.

Built with quick-drying, 100% recycled Thermic G stretch fabric, this top is perfectly adapted to high energy mountain activities with fluctuating intensity.
