Patagonia Houdini vs Patagonia Iron Forge Hemp Canvas Ranch Jacket

4 oz) + Walmart Poncho (1 oz). Pro: I already carry my wind layer and umbrella, so the additional weight penalty is very low. Cons: Emergency Poncho is plastic/disposable, only lasts 5-10 uses before it gets ripped, needs to be replaced frequently. Umbrella does not work well when it is very windy

One note is this thing is super heavy. Like wearing a weighted blanket. Nice and cozy. It fits baggy which is kinda nice for layering underneath

And on our trip to Patagonia, I found myself keeping the Houdini close and wearing it daily. It cut the wind nicely when we stopped for lunch while backpacking, and I hiked in it if the weather was cool or the wind was particularly rough. Considering its weight, Patagonia nailed all the right features. You can cinch the hem to block out wind at the waist, the half-elastic cuffs seal nicely around the wrists, and a single adjustment at the hood allows you to tighten it down effectively

We also have a swing back for extra movement and a drop tail for coverage and draft here's. The men's Ironforge tent canvas pants jacket,

If I expected to do day-to-day serious work or wanted to do significant layering underneath, I'd go with my normal size of large which would be quite roomy for me. I also found that shrinkage for this garment, even using hot water and a hot dryer (which is probably not recommended anyway) led to quite minimal shrinkage. Point being, don't buy excessively baggy expecting significant shrinking to happen. If you can dial your size in, this is a helluva of a great jacket that should last for years and years in all kinds of conditions
