Patagonia Fleece Jackets

In the previous article I have listed some important features that you must look out for when buying ski jackets and what is the difference between Patagonia fleece jackets and shell jackets. Continue reading here in "Part 2" the guide on how to buy your own ski jacket.

Patagonia Jackets - Best Buying Guide - Part 2

Here on this article you will find additional information regarding choosing the best and most suitable winter ski jacket to help you have the best time when skiing outdoors. Some of the tips here and on the previous article will apply not only to Patagonia jackets, but also to many other clothing that you need in order to have a good time skiing: pants, shoes, covers, pullover, vests, etc.

Choosing The Right Seam Type For Your Patagonia Fleece Jacket

Ski jackets seams are an important part of your comfortableness when wearing your Patagonia clothing. There are basically two types of seam: Critically taped and fully taped.
Fully taped seam: this is the best seam option that you can have and it is exactly like the name looks like. By having all seams properly waterproofed, you will prevent moisture and water from penetrating into your clothes making it a unpleasant ride. This type of seam is achieved through the use of a waterproof tape that is glued both in the exterior and interior of your Patagonia fleece jacket. An even great option - and more expensive also - would be welded seams which will further help you protecting from moisture penetration.

Critically taped seam: this is also what the name sounds like. This type of seam will only protect the most critical areas of your body preventing moisture from penetrating through the seams. Even though it might sound that this isn't a good option since it might leave some openings for moisture, you should only avoid it if you spend a long time under wet weather or if you are a rookie just starting out and keeps falling over and over again in the snow. Other than that, you can definitely get away with this seam option specially considering it is usually cheaper than the Welded or Full seams.

Best Features In A Patagonia Fleece Vest

There are some standard features in your Patagonia clothing that it is definitely wise to take your time to fully analyze it. Some of these features include:
Wrist Closure: this is a really important feature that you must look out for in your Patagonia fleece and shell jacket. Ensuring that you have proper closure and also making sure that your wrist will bond well with your ski gloves, will ensure that no cold air gets through and up your arm. This will be achievable by using Velcro, elastic, snap or any other form of closure that you may find available in your Patagonia ski jacket.

Front Zipper Cover: as usual, zippers will be one of the most fragile parts of your Patagonia fleece jackets. To help prevent moisture and wind from penetrating through the zippers, a front zipper cover is definitely recommended and something you should look out for in your winter jacket.
Hood: there are some people that use their hood all the time and some people that do not like this option. Patagonia clothing will offer you basically three hood types: attached (non-removable), detachable and stowaway. The names are pretty self-explanatory but I like detachable hoods since they offer me the option to detach them on warmer days and put them back on, in case there is a strong winter storm coming. Stowaway might also be another good option, just make sure you check the designed area for it since some are not that good and it might indeed make you uncomfortable while wearing it.

Final Recommendations On Getting The Best Patagonia Jackets

To get the best price and deals available, I would recommend looking out for different Patagonia outlet stores available throughout the country. Check my other article with a list of some common Patagonia stores that you will probably find one near you. Additionally, search of "store locators" on Google. This will enable you to find further Patagonia outlets and also another great stores that you can get good ski jackets like Altrec, MooseJaw and Zappos. You will probably find the best deals and specials for a Patagonia fleece jackets in their outlets, but it won't hurt to check out these other stores to see what prices they are working with.

Patagonia Jackets

If you are looking for Patagonia jackets, then here on this website you will find the best buying guide on how to choose the right ski jacket for you. There are several factors that you need to consider before choosing the right jacket for you.

Patagonia Jackets - Best Buying Guide

There are many models available from Patagonia stores and you might want to check them out beforehand for the best prices and conditions in on-line stores like Zappos and Altrec. These are excellent stores that might be able to offer you really good deals when it comes down to Patagonia clothing. So let's start and check out what you must pay attention to before buying your ski jacket.

Difference Between A Patagonia Fleece Jacket And A Shell Ski Jacket

When looking out for ski jackets, you will notice that jackets have evolved quite a bit in the last few years. Not only they are now using a wider array of materials and fabrics to produce great results, its fashion, style and design has also greatly improved making Patagonia ski jackets and Patagonia fleece jackets not only one of the best available in the market, but also one of the best looking. To get the best deal you can, you must first understand some differences between different types of ski jackets available from Patagonia stores.

There are two common types of jackets: insulated (fleece) and shell jackets. There are some important differences between them and you should know them before you go out finding the best deal on Patagonia jackets clearance.

Shell jackets: these type of jacket are the ones that are windproof, waterproof but offer you no internal insulation making it highly breathable. Since they have no internal insulation, these type of jacket might only be recommended for warmer people by nature or for those that would like to have the extra mobility that these ski jackets provide. If you will be using them during a harsh cold winter season, then it is definitely recommended that you also use a base and a mid-layer beneath it to help keeping your body warm while having the additional flexibility that you get by using shell jackets.

Insulated jackets: when you compare this type of Patagonia ski jacket with the one above, you will notice that this will have a far less flexibility due to the extra insulation layer. This winder jacket is commonly referred as 3-in-1 or system jackets due to this extra insulated layer that is usually made out of fleece, down or other synthetic fabrics. Patagonia fleece jackets are great for heavy winter ski seasons and they are, of course, windproof and waterproof.

Other Features To Look Out For When Buying Patagonia Ski Jackets

Patagonia jackets will have many different standards and ratings when it comes down to: Breathability, Waterproof rating, fabric durability, etc. These are some common standards that you will find on not only Patagonia jackets, but also in all winter ski jackets that you might be looking out for.

Waterproof rating is probably the most important feature that you must look out for when searching for good ski jackets and coats. This rating measures how long it takes to water to penetrate to your inner layers of your Patagonia jacket. This is measured by using a filling and a tube with water and watching at which level does the water starts to penetrate into the jacket. The bare minimum for this rating should be around 1.500mm but they can go as high as 20.000mm with the average being 10.000mm or so. The more waterproof the jacket is, the more expensive it will be. But you do get what you pay for, just make sure you need that much waterproofing in your Patagonia fleece jacket.

Patagonia Outlets

There is far too much talk about Patagonia outlets and the overall outlet market that exist today in our economy. I still believe there are great benefits and advantages of buying all your clothing from outlets.

Why Buy From Patagonia Stores

Nonetheless, there is an on-going debate that talks about how good price in outlet stores and shops are indeed cheaper or if is just another selling technique used by corporations and retailers to induce and make you buy more than you actually need or intended it to. I'll list here some benefits that I have personally found when searching for the best deals and offers in outlet shops throughout the country.

Benefits Of Buying From Outlet Stores

If you have a good eye for good prices and care enough to do some research before you go all crazy buying everything that happens to have a "50% off" label on top, then I believe you may benefit greatly from making your purchases from Patagonia outlets. Outlet stores might have great special and deals that might be only available on that particular shop, which is why you will benefit from making a small amount of research BEFORE setting out on your shopping frenzy. For example, if you will be doing some travelling somewhere near in the future and intend to find out and visit every single Patagonia clothing outlet, than you can benefit from arranging a visit to that outlet and have someone to guide you through the store. This will help you find the best deals and save you some time while shopping.

Negotiating for discounts might also be available if you are travelling in a large group that intend to buy a big set of clothing including jackets, fleeces, pants, shoes, etc. Stores and shops, especially Patagonia outlet stores have a crush for big sales, so make sure you use that to your advantage. Sometimes a group of only 3 people might be already big enough to negotiate prices with the clerk. Say you buy a Patagonia jacket and your friend a Patagonia shoe, if you get you friend to buy something else along with it, I'm certain that they might be able to give you a discount since you are making a large clothing purchase.

Shopping Frenzy With Several Outlet Stores In The Same Place

This can either help or make you spend way more than you expected, but usually Patagonia outlets will have many more outlet stores near it that you might benefit from. This will help you save time since you won't need to move around that much to find the best outlets available in the region since they tend to gather around one place. Just be careful on not getting overexcited with it and spending way more than you want it to. I would recommend first talking a look around for different Patagonia deals and other stores to see if there is any other store that might have a better deal. Then, later, you come back to make your purchase. This will avoid making that common mistake of buying something at a shop that might look like the best deal available, only to find the same clothing for 50% off in the next outlet store.

That being said, you can see how outlet stores might pose some dangers to your shopping frenzy if you are not careful. Many people argue that outlets are nothing but another way of pre-convincing you that "we have the best deals" for jackets, fleeces and any other clothing that you might be interested in. I don't fully agree with that but I can see where they are coming from. Make sure then you check out all different Patagonia outlets that might be available near you and compare prices between them.

Patagonia Clearance

great jackets!
There are several ways of getting the best deals out of Patagonia clearance deals. There are certain techniques and some useful information that might help you location the best deals.

How To Find The Best Patagonia Deals

Several stores use almost the same tactics when trying to make their customers to spend as most as they possibly can - sometimes even more - on their stores, so there are some clear signs that you should look out for if you want to find the best deals and specials on Patagonia stores and shops.

Bundle Offers - Making The Most Of Patagonia Discounts

A great way of getting best deals out of Patagonia clearances is to try to bundle several offers together and negotiating the price with the clerk. Sometimes you won't even need to negotiate this kind of discount bundles since the Patagonia will probably have already an offer on several items they have in their shop. This can even happen when the store has, for example, too much Patagonia jackets on sale that are still on the store and want to get rid of it. Additionally, there is another great Patagonia shoes available with a good price that they would also like to let it go. So, to increase the revenues and sales for their clothing, they might bundle the two of them in order to make you buy more than you initially wanted. Your mind, subconsciously will go something like this "I'm already paying X for these clothes, just a bit more won't hurt me much and I will be able to walk out with these beautiful shoes as well."

Just be careful: this is one of the oldest techniques in the book for clearances. It is called "upselling" something and inducing you to buy more clothes or whatever merchandises that you are currently looking for. Patagonia jackets for instance have this kind of offer quite frequently. The reason is that these jackets and Patagonia fleeces have a good profit for the store if they sell. Since they are quite expensive when in comparison to other items, the same line of behavior might happen to you as previously described. You will be much more inclined to spend more $30 dollars on a deal that when you compare to your overall payment of say, $500 dollars, might look like a small fee to pay. Clerks and shops know this and that is the reason they always offer you something AFTER you have decided to buy an expensive jacket, fleece or pants.

Patagonia Promo Codes

Another good technique that you might benefit from to get the best prices on a Patagonia clearance, would be to search on the world wide web for promo codes and coupons. These are not hard to find and there are several on-line websites that will be able to offer you a wide array of discounts and promos for your favorite Patagonia store. Make sure you check websites like RetailMenot and Promotional Codes for great Patagonia coupons that they might have available at the moment. These websites are great for hunting bargains since they are updated quite frequently and will usually have the latest offerings for Patagonia clothing deals.

Additionally, look out for clearance events that Patagonia might be having somewhere around you. Make sure you check with your local stores and also stores that might be in a city near you that wouldn't take you too long to drive there. Needless to say that it is definitely not a good idea to spend $100+ on gas just to get a $15 discount; that doesn't even include the time you will spent on the road travelling to get to the that particular Patagonia outlet store. But maybe you were planning to go there anyway say on vacation and then, you might benefit from Patagonia clearance events that might be going on that city that you are visiting.

Patagonia Stores

Here you will find a small list of Patagonia stores in the US. There is probably one near you and I would recommend doing a search here on this website by using CTRL+F and typing in your state or city to check you if there are any Patagonia outlets and stores near you.

How To Find The Best Patagonia Outlets

Another tip would be to go to Google and type Patagonia outlets +"city" without quote. The plus sign makes Google the word after to be included in its search. This will further narrow down your search and make it easier to find good and relevant stores, outlets and shops.

Using On-Line Patagonia Store Locators

If you want to find good Patagonia stores, another great tip would be to use store locators over the web. This includes the one over at Patagonia's website and many difference services that you may able to find on the world wide web. Most stores and retailers have their own store locator and this is no different with Patagonia. By using it, you will be able to find some shops and retailers that might have not been listed here. It doesn't matter where you are, NYC, Chicago, Seattle, etc., probably there will be one store near you and you just need to use store locators and on-line references to locate it.

For Patagonia outlet stores and Patagonia clothing there will be different shops available everywhere and it might be a good idea to either call them or check their on-line website to see how big this particular Patagonia shop is and what current discounts, offer and deals they have available at the moment you are searching. They might differ greatly and you will be able to save some time if you take your time to first research on-line and through calling Patagonia stores to check on their current offers.
