• Streamlined design with just the essential features creates a clean shell that's highly packable.
• Low-profile adjustable hood with a laminated visor and a single-pull adjust provides good visibility in poor conditions, accommodates a variety of headwear, effectively sheds water and lies flat when not in use.
• Waterproof, anti-corrosive, exposed center-front zipper.
• One left-chest zippered pocket, and two welted, watertight, zippered high handwarmer pockets are large enough for a fly box, a map or a notebook.
• Stormproof cuffs with streamlined hook-and-loop tabs seal out the weather.
• Adjustable drawcord cinch at the hem, routed up through the front pockets, keeps out weather and reduces bulk under a pack waistbelt.

The Patagonia Women’s Boulder Fork Rain Jacket in Forge Grey has a dark grey lower body and black upper, sleeves, hood and back with contrasting orange zip pulls. Large zippered handwarmer pockets are positioned slightly higher to sit above a hip belt or bumbag, while the adjustable hood gives great protection from the driving rain with a laminated visor. The perfect packable waterproof jacket for outdoor activities and just as practical and comfortable for everyday wet weather protection during the rainy commute to work.

We're proud to be stocking Patagonia at Babipur, the pioneers of responsible business practices! Patagonia were one of the earliest adopters of organic cotton recognising the damage that pesticides had on the earth and making the switch back in 1994. A core value is to make the very best quality product because better products last longer and the longer products last the less that have to be made. Materials and manufacturing are carefully considered to ensure minimal impact from creation through to disposal.

Patagonia's continued efforts to reduce and even reverse the impacts of commercial activities is awe-inspiring. Investment in environmental causes and activism, sourcing of reused, recycled and low impact materials, fair trade certifications and initiatives to help other companies achieve higher sustainability levels, Patagonia lead the way. Not satisfied with pushing for change within their own industry Patagonia have begun a food division looking to change farming practices for the better too. Now a global brand using their increased influence for the greater good and still independently owned.
