From the trail to the trout stream
Compared to Patagonia's more hiking-focused jackets, the Boulder Fork is aimed more at the outdoor 'utility player'. Those jacks of all trades who might be fly-fishing or climbing one weekend, hiking or biking the next. The key thing, of course, is the superb water-resistance, utilising Patagonia's tried-and-trusted breathable H2No 3-layer fabric and bolstering the performance with waterproof zips and stormproof cuffs. The hood has a laminated visor and single-pull adjustment, with a clever low-profile cut that sits flat against your back when not in use. The designers at Patagonia have set the chest and handwarmer pockets relatively high to sit clear of a climbing harness or waist belt, and they're also surprisingly roomy to swallow up maps, fly boxes or other bits and bobs. It all adds up to a superb jacket that's as versatile as you need it to be.
