Description
This is a L4 Windshirt from Patagonia that is a part of the PCU system. The jacket is wind resistant and lightly water resistant, and works great as an outer layer on chilly days. The collar is slightly stiffened, and the sleeve cuffs are elastic for easy fit and protection. At the bottom is an adjustable string shock cord, so that you can easily close up the end of the jacket to keep more wind out. Just inside the jacket is a small pocket that doubles as a stuff sack for the jacket for super easy carry and storage. Overall, this is a pretty simple windshirt, but it’s extremely nice for wear over your uniform or thermal layers, is super lightweight and thin and it is a great addition to any cold weather packing list or layering system.
This is overall in an athletic cut, if you’re on the larger end of your normal size, you may want to size up!
