Patagonia Women's Snowdrifter Jacket

Patagonia Women's Snowdrifter Jacket — Cascade Green

The Patagonia Women's Snowdrifter Jacket is a 3-layer H2No® stretch shell built for high-output backcountry and side-country riding. No insulation — the stretch fabric moves with you on the skin track and keeps weather out on the descent. The Cascade Green colourway is a muted, natural alpine tone that sits well in the mountains. Helmet-compatible hood, pit zips, powder skirt, and a RECCO® reflector. PFAS-free and Fair Trade Certified™.

Key Features

• 3-Layer H2No® Performance Standard Shell: Lightweight, fully waterproof and breathable — soft knit backer wicks moisture from the inside while the shell sheds weather from the outside.
• Stretch Fabric: Built-in stretch throughout — unrestricted movement on technical ascents and aggressive descents without the stiffness of a traditional hardshell.
• Shell Construction (No Insulation): Designed for layering — high breathability for skinning, full storm protection for the ride down.
• Helmet-Compatible Hood: Fixed, two-way-adjustable hood with embedded cord-lock and laminated visor — sharp peripheral vision in whiteout conditions.
• Pit Zips: Fast heat dump during high-output climbs without shedding layers.
• Low-Profile Powder Skirt: Adjustable skirt cinches tight for deep days, lies flat when not needed.
• Technical Pocketing: Two zippered handwarmer pockets, chest pocket with internal cable routing, bicep pass pocket, and internal drop-in pocket for goggles or skins.
• RECCO® Reflector: Concealed rescue reflector for alpine safety — allows professional rescuers to locate you using directional signals.
• PFAS-Free & Fair Trade Certified™: No intentionally added PFAS chemicals, made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.

Who It's For

Women who prioritise breathability and mobility in a storm-ready shell. The Snowdrifter is built for the skin track — the stretch fabric and pit zips handle high-output effort, while the 3-layer H2No® construction handles whatever the mountain throws on the way down. A step up from the Powder Town shell for those spending serious time in the backcountry.
