This hybrid jacket occupies a space in the market somewhere between stylish streetwear and campfire-approved outdoors. For a true technical outdoor jacket, scroll on. Here's why I couldn't turn this one down after seeing it in the store:Bomber style is back. Tight cuffs on voluminous sleeves/trunk. This is a style choice, not something optimized for the outdoors. Top that off with some 80's drawstrings, and you're wearing the best-made Starter jacket since 2000.Heavy nylon material. This stuff does feel a bit plasticky, asking you to wear a long sleeve layer for maximum comfort. But it has a nice rigidity v softness balance that makes this a bit tougher than many down shells. Incredible vs wind.Big heads love huge hoods.

This is a moment for me and my colossal cranium brotherhood to know what it feels like for our hairline to experience insulation.

6’4” & 220 lbs. wearing XL because this bomber jacket is too short otherwise. This is my first Patagonia purchase. What can I say? I’m disappointed. It looks nice, but it’s basically a very expensive plastic jacket. It’s really noisy, with pretty stiff fabric that feels itchy against the skin, and it traps heat. I was sweating wearing it out in 45-degree weather over at-shirt. I couldn’t wait to take it off. On a cold day, the fabric feels very cold against your skin. You’ll definitely want to layer with this one. Wearing it feels akin to wearing a trash bag, or even an old yellow slicker (although it’s much lighter). The hood is ridiculously pointy (my kids made fun of me and said I looked like an elf) and the jacket lacks basic features like zippered hand pockets, ... More6’4” & 220 lbs. wearing XL because this bomber jacket is too short otherwise.

I've heard a lot about the company and really wanted to try a few products for myself. I purchased a hoody, a reversible jacket and a bomber jacket. All of them for light winter or falls weather. I did not expect them to be really warm jackets. I really loved the quality of the hoody and it feels comfortable. However the other two jackets turned out to be of really bad quality. I did not expect them to be so cheaply made (Super thin fabric, no under arm vent, no deep pockets, no secret pockets, cheap zippers, ugly colors) with the whole idea being cost reduction of manufacturing. I understand the lifelong warranty but I can't wear these jackets for a few hours daily if they are constructed so cheaply. The reversible jacket material was super thin and wrinkly and the ... MoreI've heard a lot about the company and really wanted to try a few products for myself.

The reversible jacket material was super thin and wrinkly and the inner fleece was of really cheap quality and it formed a lump upon wearing. The bomber jacket has a weird hoody with a long pointy end, very cheap feeling harsh fabric, super baggy (Popeye) arms and tight elastic at the bottom. I am not sure who is designing these jackets :( Are they this way because the company must use earth friendly recycled and scrap fabric for supporting our Planet? I will keep these jackets for now and try them out a few times. I hope I can change my mind. the website is really old design and buggy at times. It is hard to do anything on it. They must invest in redesigning the website and make it a responsive design. Scrolling, filtering should not be that hard for customers. I must say the customer facing representatives are really friendly and super helpful.

Jacket seems nice. It has the same Patagonia quality you’d expect. I have a nano puff I’ve been wearing for years and absolutely love it. I like the water/wind resistance and wet weather protection with the synthetic insulation of the nano puff. Wanted to pick up a second Patagonia synthetic jacket but didn’t wanna pay full price for another nano puff (also wanted something with a hood but didn’t want to pay nearly 300 dollars for the nano puff hoodie.) This jacket seems a little less warm than the nano puff but that’s perfect for me since I run hot anyway. I think this jacket will fit into my early spring/fall wardrobe very nicely. Seems like it will work well for 40s to 50s and a light drizzle which is pretty much everyday here in nw Washington state. The only ... MoreJacket seems nice.

Seems like it will work well for 40s to 50s and a light drizzle which is pretty much everyday here in nw Washington state. The only thing I do not like about it is the bottom of the jacket is a little bit too tight but I guess that’s just because it’s a bomber style. I run between a small and a medium (5’6 145 lbs) and the small fit me nicely. Still had enough room for a hoodie or a flannel underneath. Also worked well under a Gore-Tex shell.
Really comfy and handy light layer, like a light zip sweatshirt. But. First purchase, my leather-gloved hand merely brushed the pocket while shoveling, and the sticktion tore the top of the pocket out. Patagonia graciously replaced it, which was terrific. Jacket lasted only a few more weeks, when it merely grazed the edge of my truck’s door trim - where countless other shirts and jackets had with no ill effect - but the poor patagonia Hoody snagged and tore open. Patagonia kindly accepted it for return.Loved the Hoody. Do miss it. But it’s built for… a delicate life. The material is like the lightest of jacket liners in hand. Wish Patagonia made the same item with a more durable fabric.
The good: After almost 2 years of wear, this jacket is still in almost perfect condition and as warm as ever. Realistically, this is my favorite jacket due to the comfortability, warmth, and casual fit.The meh: One thing I noticed immediately was that this jacket is not very breathable. I admit that I have a high metabolism, but I find myself drenched in sweat if I forget to take it off inside. This, however, is a good way of showing how warm it can be. Another thing that's so-so is that the waist band elastic seems to run high and has tightened over the years. It still stretches fine, but it sits just above the belt-line to give a sorta weird fit when it's zipped up.
Really want to like this jacket! It's definitely not an outdoor jacket...it's a fashion coat haha so if you're buying it thinking you'll wear it outside to keep you warm on a hike/backpacking trip/camping, think again. It's super cute though and great for bike commuting to work or wearing to the brewery and the orange color gets lots of compliments. Unfortunately though, this material is a HUGE pain to keep clean.I've worn it 3x -- once to dinner, once to ride my bike ~30 minutes round trip to the store, and then around the house. And good lord, does it stain easy. Cuffs are already starting to discolor and there's grease stains from where my fingers touch the material (aka the front zipper pouch that I keep cash or keys in). Threw it in the wash hoping it'd clean ... MoreReally want to like this jacket!

I love the way it looks in pictures, and was excited for a bit more of a professional looking coat that I want to wear to work every day instead of subjecting my Nano Puff to daily wear. My Nano Puff is my favorite coat, but is more ideal for a hike /active wear as it packs down well, provides excellent warmth, but it is less durable than this Diamond Quilted Bomber hoody. I really want to love this jacket, I but there is some room for improvement.The proportions are off; its hood is large, its baggy in the body which is accentuated by the elastic waist band that pulls the waist tight to your hips, so the torso has all this extra material. One could argue that is what to expect from a hoody, so with that in mind for a second iteration I would suggest ditching the ... MoreI love the way it looks in pictures, and was excited for a bit more of a professional looking coat that I want to wear to work every day instead of subjecting my Nano Puff to daily wear.

One could argue that is what to expect from a hoody, so with that in mind for a second iteration I would suggest ditching the hood and focus on making this a good looking jacket that one could wear to work on the daily (like the Tres 3-1 jacket, but lighter weight). The bagginess could be improved by making the cut more trim, or adding a side strap. With those tweaks it would be an ideal fit for the need I was hoping this jacket would fill. The jacket material is a good weight for 40-60 degree weather, the look of Diamond Quilted material is very good, and its durable making it ideal for daily wear.
While a bit stiff, this fabric is heavier and denser than a puffball so it blocks the wind / light rain / cold more effectively than lighter 'puffier' jackets and still looks more 'casual' than down.Fit - bought Medium but too tight in shoulders / lats for active wear. Even driving the car was a bit taut across the back as there's no stretch at all. The Large fits much better for what I wanted - a hiking / travel / work jacket that serves more as a ''Barrier'' to the elements than a technical item for use in sports. It's not a raincoat, or as warm as down, or as breathable as a puffball. It's a thicker, heavier puffball designed to stand its ground in heavier weather.Pro's:Pockets - deep enough for your gloves / hat / keys, headlight and phone, chest pocket for ... MoreWhile a bit stiff, this fabric is heavier and denser than a puffball so it blocks the wind / light rain / cold more effectively than lighter 'puffier' jackets and still looks more 'casual' than down.Fit - bought Medium but too tight in shoulders / lats for active wear.

Hood peak is pointy. Lacks hang-loop (threaded a shoe-lace through the Patagonia tag and cut ends - easy).Fit - Medium was snug through shoulders and usually rode up at my belt. Great fit over t-shirt but too snug for biking / disc-golf / activities or over fleece. Large is roomier and has lower coverage, just over my butt when standing, fits easily over puffball sweater or fleece.
I have lots of Patagonia gear, but this hoodie is a definite standout. It will probably get more use than any other, partly because it's so easy to put on and take off (awesome zipper, easy fit). By the looks of it, it will last a long long time. I've worn it in drizzle and 40 degrees a few times, mainly hiking, and it repels moisture, insulates better than seems possible, and it resists wind really well. The pockets are generous and perfectly placed, and also cleverly shaped to keep items from falling out. The green/grey color is beautiful. Unzip when the temperatures rise and it's still very light weight and comfortable. Small gripes: Hood is a bit oversized (maybe room for a helmet?), and the outer chest pocket is a little small (it fits keys, but is too tight ... MoreI have lots of Patagonia gear, but this hoodie is a definite standout.
