At the top of the line, the ambassador-driven PowSlayer Jacket and Bib have been updated with the next
generation of GORE-TEX® Pro laminate, offering a durably waterproof fabric with substantially greater
breathability. Fit and design have been updated on the PowSlayer Bib, making this pinnacle product better
tailored to the rider’s needs. New for F13, the Untracked Jacket and Pant feature functional, clean design
with a highly articulated fit for performance and ease of movement when hiking or riding. Built with 3-layer
GORE-TEX® nylon fabric with a brushed tricot backer, these pieces are very warm without bulk. The
workhorse of the group, the updated Primo Jacket and Pant, is the company’s most durable 3-layer kit,
revised with updated athlete-inspired fit and styling. Still built with an exclusive 100% recycled GORE-TEX®
nylon, it is a great environmental choice as well. The Powder Bowl Jacket and Pant, Patagonia’s most
versatile riding kit, has gotten a full overhaul on fit as well as enhanced performance features throughout.
Warm, versatile and durable, the updated Rubicon Down and Rubicon Rider Jackets offer 600-fill goose
down or 150-g Thermogreen insulation in a waterproof, breathable package with crossover street appeal.
“The F13 season serves as a major step forward for Patagonia Snow,” notes Tyler LaMotte, business unit
director for snow, “The entire snow line represents the ultimate in wearable equipment for the core user.”
Curating a strong women’s Snow collection was a primary focus for the F13 season, and to that end one will
find innovative construction, a dialed women’s-specific fit, and feminine styling. In addition to the Women’s
Primo, Untracked, Powder Bowl and Rubicon kits, Patagonia will offer the women’s-only Untracked Anorak
for F13. As the only 3-layer GORE-TEX® snow pullover in the industry, this piece was inspired by the
vintage Patagonia “Pneumatic Pullover” and offers snow-specific features such as a low-profile powder skirt,
a side-zip for easy on/off and a helmet-compatible hood. Patagonia paid special attention to women’sspecific
pant fit for F13, and new styles such as the Women’s Slim Insulated Powder Bowl Pant and the
Women’s Insulated Rubicon Pant offer warmth, durability and functionality in an extremely flattering slimfit.
The Snow collection will be available to consumers in Summer 2013.
