17 styles from Patagonia that we find ourselves turning to season after season

Men's Stretch Rainshadow Jacket, $138.99-$199, available in five colorsWomen's Stretch Rainshadow Jacket, $138.99-$199, available in five colorsI always try to keep a lightweight rain shell on hand, and the Stretch Rainshadow Jacket is my go-to piece to carry along on both long hikes and casual strolls. It's small enough to roll up and stuff just about anywhere, and weighing just under 10-and-a-half ounces, hardly goes noticed in a backpack or rucksack. It' also makes for a worthy windbreaker — I've relied on mine many times on the open ocean — and has plenty of waterproof pocket space for just about anything I might carry. — Owen Burke, Insider Reviews senior reporterMen's R1 Fleece Pullover, $89.99-$129, available in seven colorsWomen's R1 Fleece Pullover, $89.99-$129, available in four colorsPatagonia's classic Regulator fleece is one of my must-haves. I've had an R1 since college, and it has held up incredibly well. It's still my go-to base or middle layer and the only piece of outdoor gear I have to have for any hike or camping trip. It's light and breathable, it dries quickly, and because of how long its zipper is, can be used to cool down or warm up. The chest pocket is just the right size for whatever I need to access quickly, too. — Breton Fischetti, VP of commerce Men's Synchilla Snap-T Fleece Pullover, $82.99-$119, available nine colorsWomen's Synchilla Snap-T Fleece Pullover, $82.99-$119, available in 14 colorsThis classic pullover fleece is super comfortable and will never go out of style — Patagonia releases new colors and funky patterns for it every few months, but you can also always find it in neutrals like black, beige and gray. It's my go-to layer for breezy summer nights at the beach, but it's versatile enough for year-round wear. — Ellen Hoffman, Insider Reviews executive editorMen's R1 TechFace Hoody, $179, available in five colorsWomen's R1 TechFace Hoody, $179, available in three colorsDrawing inspiration from the iconic Patagonia Regulator Fleece, the R1 TechFace Hoody manages to be a lot more than a hooded version of that classic design. It is designed to be warm, stretchy, breathable, water resistant, wind resistant, and abrasion resistant. Depending on the weather, you can wear it as a middle or outer layer. The jacket is thin enough to wear under a heavier coat, while its water resistance and warmth are more than enough to protect you on its own in milder temperatures. I personally prefer the R1 TechFace over the original R1 Fleece because it's a full-zip, as opposed to a pullover half-zip. — Amir Ismael, Insider Reviews reporterMen's Micro Puff Hoody, $149.50-$208.99, available in seven colorsWomen's Micro Puff Hoody, $208.99, available in seven colorsThe Micro Puff Hoody is quite honestly the most versatile jacket I own. What makes the jacket so special is its insulation — it's the brand's best warmth-for-weight jacket. Instead of using thick materials stuffed with down feathers, the Micro Puff uses an ultralight, water-resistant nylon ripstop Pertex Quantum shell and is filled with PlumaFill, a new synthetic insulation. The jacket is so lightweight, it neatly packs into its own front pocket. — Amir Ismael, Insider Reviews reporterLightweight Black Hole Duffel 40L, $129, available in nine colors and four sizesThe Black Hole Duffel bag might be the best piece of luggage to exist, ever. It can handle everything from a weekend beach trip to a two-week excursion to Japan, all while still fitting in most airline carry-on compartments. Mine is almost 8-years-old and has barely had a seam pop. It's water resistant so it can even handle some rain. The new ones can fold up into themselves, which I wish my older one did. Patagonia keeps improving a classic, and for what it costs, it's one of the best values out there. — Breton Fischetti, VP of commerce Refugio Backpack 28L, $89, available in 10 colorsWomen's Refugio Backpack 26L, $89, available in eight colorsThe Refugio Backpack is one of very few with a sternum strap that is not awkward and uncomfortable for me to wear. It's a good example of when designing things specifically for women is actually necessary and helpful. On top of that, the material is nice and light, the back designed to be highly breathable, and the vertical slit pocket at the front makes things easy to grab. Plus, the side pockets are stretchy enough to conform to my giant water bottles, and when the pockets are empty they don't add any bulk. In my opinion, it's a great value for $89. — Mara Leighton, Insider Reviews senior reporterMen's Better Sweater Fleece Jacket, $96.99-$139, available in 15 colorsWomen's Better Sweater Fleece Jacket, $69.50, available in three colorsThis is another fleece jacket that works in just about any environment — at the office, at home, for a casual night out — since it, too, is offered in tons of colors, both the work-appropriate and bold. The zippered handwarmer pockets are a nice touch for people like me who tend to run cold. — Ellen Hoffman, Insider Reviews executive editorMen's Capilene Thermal Weight Zip-Neck, $119, available in one colorWomen's Capilene Thermal Weight Zip-Neck, $99, available in two colorsI bought this years ago as a base layer for a ski trip, but it's gotten tons of use in everyday life since! I love that it's really warm but also really lightweight, so I can layer it under a jacket for extra warmth without adding bulk. Or, sometimes I'll just wear it alone with leggings for a trip to the grocery store or a walk in the park when there's a bit of a chill in the air. — Ashley Phillips, Insider Reviews editorMen's Fog Cutter Sweater, $68.99-$99, available in three colorsWomen's Fog Cutter Sweater, $68.99, available in two colorsI own several Patagonia sweaters and the Fogcutter is my favorite. Thanks to its relaxed fit, it's the perfect sweater to throw on to keep warm during chilly, early winter hikes, or a morning bagel run. I also really like the little design touches, like the cable-knit design, shoulder patches, and cuffs. — Tercius Bufete, Insider Reviews editorMen's Baggies Longs (7 inches), $55, available in 12 colorsI tried Patagonia Baggies for the first time this summer, and they've quickly become my favorite item from the brand. I love them because they're extremely versatile. I've worn them countless times as casual shorts, several times as swimming trunks, and they've yet to disappointment. Although they do have a mesh lining on the inside, they're not restrictive or annoying to wear. I appreciate how lightweight and comfortable they are as normal shorts and how fast they dry when worn as swim trunks. They're available in 5-inch and 7-inch inseam lengths, which means people of all sizes and style preferences can wear them. I personally prefer the 7-inch version, but both are equally amazing. Overall, I'd recommend Patagonia Baggies to anyone just about everyone shopping for the summer, as I've included them in our guides for best shorts and best swim trunks. — Amir Ismael, Insider Reviews reporterMen's Baggies Shorts (5-inch), $55, available 14 colorsWomen's Baggies Shorts (5-inch), $55, available in three colorsMuch like my colleague Amir, I am a fan of Baggies for their versatility. I've used them as running shorts, a bathing suit, and just for around my apartment while working from home. I go for the 5-inch Baggies because I think they're better for swimming and because there's nothing wrong with showing some leg. I keep the mesh in because again, it contributes to the number of uses for these great shorts. However, I have heard of people cutting them out. That's just another great way these shorts provide you with options. My preference is the solid colors, but they also have some wild patterns. Overall, if you need one pair of shorts, these are them. — Breton Fischetti, VP of commerce I bought this lighter weight version of the classic Synchilla Snap-T Fleece Pullover earlier this spring, and it's the perfect layer for cooler nights, or just wearing around the house. I love it so much I got it in another color! — Ellen Hoffman, Insider Reviews executive editorMen's Micro D Snap-T Fleece Pullover, $89-$61.99, available 10 colorsWomen's Micro D Snap-T Fleece Pullover, $89, available in 10 colorsI bought this lighter weight version of the classic Synchilla Snap-T Fleece Pullover earlier this spring, and it's the perfect layer for cooler nights, or just wearing around the house. I love it so much I got it in another color! — Ellen Hoffman, Insider Reviews executive editorMen's Shelled Retro-X Fleece Pullover, $159, available in three colorsWomen's Shelled Retro-X Fleece Pullover, $159, available in one colorReleased as part of the Patagonia Fleecelab Collection, the Retro-X Shelled Fleece pullover was designed for style — but it doesn't skimp out on the performance and durability Patagonia is known for. The first time I wore this fleece, I completely underestimated it. I layered it under a jacket and quickly overheated. The next time, I wore it without a jacket and was completely warm on a cold day in late fall.The shelled lining helps keep body heat in, while the Sherpa exterior blocks the cold out. It's so warm you'll hardly feel any wind while wearing it and in many instances, it can be worn in freezing weather by itself. — Amir Ismael, Insider Reviews reporterRead our full review on the Patagonia Fleece Lab Collection here.Women's Centered Crops, $47.99-$69, available in seven colorsThese are my go-to leggings for lounging around or running out of the house for a quick errand. They're also great for working out since they're made of a thick-ish polyester/spandex knit fabric that offers plenty of stretch, wicks moisture, and resists odor; I can wear them multiple times before tossing them in the wash. — Ellen Hoffman, Insider Reviews executive editorWomen's Organic Cotton Quilt Snap-T Pullover, $149, available in eight colorsMen's Organic Cotton Quilt Snap-T Pullover, $149, available in nine colorsThis pullover is the one that got me hooked on Patagonia in the first place. I wear it everywhere, in every season; it's the perfect thickness for wearing as my only outer layer on cool nights, but it's not so heavy that I can't comfortably layer it under a coat in the winter. Plus, it's made with organic cotton, so I feel better knowing that the material itself wasn't grown with pesticides or other chemicals that can pollute our land and waterways. —Sally Kaplan, Insider Reviews senior editor Read our full review of the Patagonia Quilted Snap-T Pullover.Women's Retro Pile Fleece Marsupial, $139, available in two colorsI have a couple versions of this sweater from Patagonia (the men's and women's styles) and they're probably the most comfortable pieces of clothing I own. I always size up for a big, cozy fit. The fleece is thick and warm even on cold days — I can wear it over a long sleeve shirt and skip the coat when it's not freezing out, but I do find it a little too thick to wear under a puffer. There are new colors every season, but I'm partial to the oatmeal-colored ones that usually surface in the winter. —Sally Kaplan, Insider Reviews senior editor
