Testing Patagonia's PFC-FREE Waterproofs - Did They Hold Up?
Can Patagonia’s PFC-free waterproof jackets survive the Scottish summer rain?
Join Bruce and Emilia for a rainy, typically Scottish summer hill walk in the Pentlands as they test out the Women’s Granite Crest and the Men’s Torrentshell 3L Jackets.
Rising up ten minutes outside the city of Edinburgh, the Pentland Hills offer a breathtaking experience of hiking and hillwalking without travelling hours to the Highlands, great for spontaneous escapes into nature from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s the perfect place to test out some of our Patagonia waterproof jackets range when the rain threatens and the wind blows, and even in this weather the views are phenomenal!
Emilia is kitted out in the Women’s Granite Crest Jacket – a jacket ideal for climbing and hiking with harness and helmet compatible features such as the handwarmer pockets and a fully adjustable hood that sits nicely beneath a helmet. Bruce’s Torrentshell utilises Patagonia’s H2No™ waterproofing technology and packed with handy features is the ideal waterproof for everyday wear and rainy hikes. Check out how the pair gets on when the heavens open at the summit – and if you like what you see, check out our full range of Patagonia here.
