Patagonia, Patagucci. Mattagonia....

@wjw That's right, it's the light version of Patagonia's serious cold temperature DAS belay jacket.
This season the DAS light hoody got updated with internal pockets to stow gloves or a hat away. The two-way zipper is owed to it being a belay jacket, however I don't really use it as such.
My trusty battered Nano Puff got stolen and I replaced it with the DAS light. I'd argue that this jacket can do whatever the Nano Puff can do, but better. It's more wind resistend and warmer. Not really a jacket for high output activities since it's not really breathable. It's funny how light it is for its warmth.
I cannot recommend this jacket enough.
PS: This season's version has also been updated with a waist draw cord. Around town I wear as you can see in the picture. For belaying or just for standing around in the cold, I could even cover my butt by loosening the draw cord.

@RobeOfTheMagi how's the sizing compared to IH on this?
-
As a belay jacket it runs rather large. I went for a looser fit. I wear a large but I could also wear a medium for a more fitted look - I am about 180cm and 80kg.

Patagonia Summer Hat
Bought it in 1995.
Still in use.
Why I love it?
Perhaps it is the best Pat Light Hat I ever owned.
The color was in and out several times over this decades.
And yes, I owned some of them, but lost nearly all on several occasions.
Dreamed a lot of a color block one in white, but it never happened to me. -

Most of my Pat stuff is Pre(wife)Patagonia.
