Patagonia CALCITE JACKET / Long Term Review

Long term review of the Men’s Patagonia Calcite Jacket.

I own this jacket. Bought it to replace an old Lowe Pro rain jacket. I live where is is very humid but mostly cool to cold. I find when I hike with no liner this jacket gets either too hot (in warm conditions) and stuffy or when in cold conditions the jacket/me get cold. The only time I like it is when it is quite cool/cold and I have a merino base layer on. So, for the most part I don't like wearing this jacket. I would much prefer a jacket designed to work with a light mesh liner (which are rare these days) to keep the outer layer off my skin when I am wearing something like a dry-fit type tee shirt. I find this to generally be much more comfortable in most conditions.

I agree with you and would definitely recommend Patagonia's worn wear program to anyone for finding a great deal on still good (sometimes pristine) condition clothing items while saving the planet from the horrendous fast fashion trend. Unfortunately, I was not able to find this one on sale so bought it new and it is pricy but the quality and years of usage makes it worth it :)

That's a good looking Jacket. I haven't bought a Jacket like this in a long time.

Thank you for the video! Man the calcite has been my favourite jacket, I only have the same issue with it that you have regarding it being a bit too high at the top and hitting my chin. Im hoping patagonia will come with a calcite 2.0 that just fixes this issue, but i doubt it.

Nice jacket man. Patagonia makes high quality stuff. On a side note, would you consider possibly a future video showing your skate deck collection or any boards from your time with Alien Workshop 👽

Thank you for the review! I just wanted your take on the Calcite vs Torrentshell 3L. I can get the Calcite for $220 CAD and the Torrentshell for the same price.

got this jacket secondhand for cheap, planning on using it on my backpacking trip through guatemala, but also looking to use it as an out layer for the ski season, would you say it could be used that way?

what are the effects on waterproofness/breathability of a worn-out DWR?

Sometimes i have to work in storms, does it keep you dry for long hours in heavy downpours?

Only the shoemeister John Bundy can get away with a jacket review on a shoe review listing…
