The Patagonia Men’s Mixed Guide Hoody gives you the weather protection that you need for long ice climbs, mixed climbs and backcountry skiing without compromising on breathability or flexibility. The hybrid design uses hard shell and soft shell technology to provide the performance you need in different areas. The upper torso incorporates Patagonia’s H2No, 3-layer fabric for durable waterproof and breathable protection. The remaining areas are made from Polartec® Power Shield®, a heavy duty but highly breathable fabric with a DWR coating that is wind, water, snow and abrasion resistant. Integrated stretch and gusseted panels provide a more natural range of motion allowing an extended reach and a helmet compatible adjustable hood gives extra protection without impairing your visibility.

Glossary
| 3-layer H2No® | Performance Standard fabrics are waterproof and breathable by virtue of an advanced combination of elements: a water-repellent shell fabric, a waterproof barrier and an interior scrim fabric. This fabric package is completely waterproof, windproof, breathable and highly durable. |
| DWR (Durable Water Repellent) | A DWR-treated fabric will bead-up water on its surface to stop it from soaking into the fibres. This maintains breathability and shortens drying times. |
| Polartec® Power Shield® Pro | Designed to strike the optimal balance between weather protection and breathability, Power Shield® Pro offers the best soft-shell weather resistance without compromise to breathability. Polartec® Power Shield Pro combines never before seen levels of air permeability with durable hydrostatic resistance to keep you dry both from within and from out. |
