When there's no entry fee but sore legs, and stunning views come for free, devout trail runners find their rewards. Patagonia's ultra-light, slim-fitting Houdini Jacket can help, with its weather-resistant 100% nylon ripstop fabric that breathes, blocks wind and withstands abrasion on multi-hour adventure runs.
The slim fit allows for a baselayer or light midlayers, the hood cinches with a single pull and won't pinch your ears, and the cording, toggles and elastic cuffs are all trim and lightweight. Half-elastic cuffs seal the wrists, and a drawcord cinches the hem. It packs snugly into its own small zippered chest pocket, which has a reinforced clip-in loop for attaching to your hydration-pack straps.
A DWR (durable water repellent) finish coats the shell and the center-front zipper. With a reflective logo on the left chest and center back neck.
