Micro D Jacket | Men’s

A travel staple, done properly

Is there anything quite so useful in outdoor life as a lightweight fleece jacket? Insulating, quick-drying and versatile, this comfy Micro-D zip-up from Patagonia is one of the best of its kind, featuring a slightly longer cut that works well with a hip belt or harness. The sleeves are set-in to avoid seam chafing, and there are cosy handwarmer pockets plus a zipped chest pocket. Keep one at the top of your pack and it’ll get more wear than just about anything else you own.

• Patagonia is the brand that other gear companies want to be when they grow up. In 2022, the company’s founder, Yvon Chouinard, famously gave the company to the planet. Its now jointly controlled by a charitable trust and a not-for-profit dedicated to fighting the climate crisis, and all post-operating profits go to environmental causes.

  But in some ways thats the tip of the (melting) iceberg. For nearly half a century, Patagonia has been an experiment in responsible business. From the farms that grow their cotton to the factories that make their goods and everything in-between, theyve tried incredibly hard to set the gold standard in terms of ethics, transparency and social responsibility. Not only that, but their gear is made to last to take hard use and repairs, and to maintain its performance through thick and thin.

  All of which is even more extraordinary when you consider that Yvon Chouinard started out blacksmithing climbing gear for his mates in his parents’ backyard, using a forge and anvil that he bought from a junkyard.

  At we dont usually tend to go for the big-name brands, but this was one we simply couldnt resist. Quite apart from their amazing ethical and environmental credentials, they just make great gear. Weve used it and loved it for years, and you will too.

This jacket is super comfortable to wear and offers me a surprising amount of warmth.
