You are bidding on a PATAGONIA Super Alpine Gore Tex Pro Hard Shell Ski Jacket. Style number is 83645FA12. This is Men's size L. Color is Red Delicious (RDS). This is in overall Good, Used condition. It is from the Fall 2012 catalog. This comes from my personal Patagonia collection. It has always been my favorite spring skiing jacket, but I have decided to change up my colors for next season.

The Super Alpine is Patagonia's most durable all-purpose hardshell (a more durable version of Patagonia's Super Pluma). The jacket is identical with the following except the Super Alpine uses a more durable face fabric and has rubber gasket-like wrist closures that seal out the elements.

Materials

The Super Alpine is constructed with three-layer Gore-Tex Pro membrane, the most durable and warmest waterproof breathable technology we know of. All Pro jackets utilize the same membrane and micro grid backer, but the specific face fabric (outermost layer) can be customized. Here, the Super Alpine uses a 3.8 oz 40-denier Gore-Tex Pro Shell (green in our test model) with 4.9-oz 150-denier Pro Shell reinforcements (orange). These fabrics, and the jacket's pattern, are excellent. The lighter material is used on the back, underarms, and neck, while the front, shoulders and hood are reinforced. As a result, the Super Alpine is 3.3 oz heavier than the Super Pluma. (Patagonia lists the Super Alpine as being 18.5 oz.). The Super Alpine increased durability makes it better suited to trips of longer duration and activities that demand a very strong and abrasion resistant jacket.

Features

The Super Alpine's features are identical to the Super Pluma's except the Super Alpine has a gasket-like rubber closure on the wrists, which help to seal out cold air and various forms of frozen precipitation. The Super Alpine is a simple yet fully featured jacket. The Super Alpine has two moderately sized handwarmer pockets that sit high up on the chest, away from a backpack's waistbelt or a climbing harness. Hidden bellows and a flat pleated front look good allow you to see look down and see your feet, and they expand to accommodate medium sized objects or to protect your hands from the elements. The jacket also has one small internal zippered pocket for items like keys and an ID. And, finally, two large watertight pit zips dump heat and moisture vapor when you're working hard.

As for the details, the Super Alpine has excellent hidden cord adjustments at the hood (two on the front and at on the top rear) and bottom hem (one on each side). These are flat, so you can pinch them with gloves on, and are covered with a grey rubbery material that allows you can find them easily (if the jacket is orange or green).
