Women's CrossStrata range utilises Patagonia's famous R1 technical fleece material and combines it with abrasion and weather-resistant DWR.

Patagonia says: 

Warm, stretchy and breathable like our Regulator® fleece, but with the added benefits of abrasion and weather resistance. This cool-weather crosslayer was designed for extended versatility in shifting mountain conditions. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.

Our Verdict

I'm a big fan of the CrossStrata hoody. When you need the lightweight, breathable and quick-drying abilities of a technical fleece, with the added protection of a strong but environmentally friendly DWR, this jacket comes into its own. The CrossStrata is a little more rugged thanks to the DWR coating, so it brushes off abrasions as well as light rain and has some wind protection.

The CrossStrata has a good amount of stretch, so it excels at climbing and scrambling and works well with a harness. Consideration has been given to how the pockets work when using a climbing harness.

I like the dual-opening chest pocket. It fastens with a zip closure to the side and a snap button closure at the top, which is good for quickly accessing a mobile phone or GPS. The CrossStrata also has two hand-warming pockets, which, as I have said, works well with a harness on.
