Patagonia has a reputation that precedes itself as far as technical, mountain-ready gear goes. Its Houdini Jacket lives up to that reputation — it’s about as functional and yet versatile as one piece can get, crafted from lightweight nylon and fit for trail runs, hikes or just bar-hopping around town.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish lends an extra edge when the weather turns inclement, and it’s made using fair labor practices and safe working conditions — something that’s now just as important as the technical specs of your favorite outdoor gear. It also features a slim fit and a remarkable ability to be packed into itself and zipped up. That being said, it’s so versatile that you probably won’t want to take it off. – $99
