Great Travel Jacket
Great jacket for travel especially in warm climates where the evenings get cool. It packs compact in a backpack when not in use. Extreemly wind proof and water resistant. Very well constructed.

excellent jacket
This is a great mild weather jacket. Very light, but wind proof and very resistant to rain. One of the first times I wore it I was in a heavy down-pour and I stayed very dry and the jacket was dry itself in only a few minutes.

Why didn't I buy this sooner?
My first Patagonia purchase and it probably will be the first of many based on this jacket. I was looking to replace a similar (Adidas) light weight jacket mainly for early Fall/late Spring use. This jacket blows my old one out of the water. Solid, solid construction. Fits me perfectly, too. I was a little skeptical about the whiteish front zipper, but it doesn't bother me at all in person. Soon as winter blows through, I'm going to get tons of wear out of this jacket. And, I'll have it a long time judging from the quality. I should have bought this jacket years ago!!

A better Track Suit
Perfect "track suit" for those whose activities are off the beaten path. Just the ticket for a drizzly run, cross country skiing or snow shoeing or signing in for a rainy bike race. The Traverse jacket (and pants) keeps you dry, keeps the wind off and looks great.
