Patagonia Women’s All Weather Zip-Neck Hoody Review

Patagonia’s Mission Statement
Patagonia grew out of a small company that made tools for climbers. Alpinism remains at the heart of a worldwide business that still makes clothes for climbing – as well as for skiing, snowboarding, surfing, fly fishing, paddling and trail running. These are all silent sports. None requires a motor; none delivers the cheers of a crowd. In each sport, reward comes in the form of hard-won grace and moments of connection between us and nature.
Our values reflect those of a business started by a band of climbers and surfers, and the minimalist style they promoted. The approach we take towards product design demonstrates a bias for simplicity and utility.
For us at Patagonia, a love of wild and beautiful places demands participation in the fight to save them, and to help reverse the steep decline in the overall environmental health of our planet. We donate our time, services and at least 1% for our sales to hundreds of grassroots environmental groups all over the world who work to help reverse the tide.
We know that our business activity – from lighting stores to dyeing shirts – creates pollution as a by-product. So we work steadily to reduce those harms. We use recycled polyester in many of our clothes and only organic, rather than pesticide-intensive, cotton.
Staying true to our core values during thirty-plus years in business has helped us create a company we’re proud to run and work for. And our focus on making the best products possible has brought us success in the marketplace.

PRODUCT REVIEW – Patagonia – All Weather Zip Neck Hoody – by Ashleigh R4W Forum Member

STYLE – Simple styling which is great for running, not too fussy. Practical yet attractive looking. Simple styling makes it an easy top to wear, like the holes for thumbs and cover for hands. Score 4/5

COMFORT – Very comfortable, I ran in several layers and the top stayed put! Which is rare for running tops. Score 5/5

BREATH ABILITY – Kept me warm but not too hot, excellent breathability. Fitting and material perfect for running short or long distance. I wore a skin underneath and felt great. Score 5/5

QUALITY – Excellent quality, washed and tumble dried and top has not bobbled. Score 4/5

COLOUR – I like the two tone, very flattering and excellent use of block colouring. More colours depending on seasons would be excellent. Turquoise and blue perfect for winter, I’d like to see a purple one. Score 4/5

OVERALL – Excellent top, I like the simplicity of the top, yet practical design add-ons such as the hole for my hair, brilliant idea! I don’t need loads of pockets for this kind of top. I don’t run all the time with an mp3 or iPod but maybe a small pocket on the sleeve would be useful. Score 4/5

RRP: £55
