<p>Let's be honest: part of the job of a good rain shell is to sit in your pack, coiled and ready to spring into action when you need it. For alpine climbers, backcountry skiers, hikers and travellers, the Calcite Jacket offers protection from summertime cloudbursts and winter squalls, then disappears into your pack when its work is done. A helmet-compatible storm hood provides refuge from high wind and rain, and the watertight, DWR-treated front zip comes in handy when you're being plastered with wet snow. Made with recycled materials at a Fair Trade Certified™ facility.</p><ul><li>GORE-TEX Paclite® waterproof breathable construction is light and packable</li><li>100% recycled polyester face fabric, with a special knit backer for next-to-skin comfort</li><li>Helmet-compatible hood with laminated visor and single-pull adjustment</li><li>Coated, water-resistant front zip is backed with a storm flap</li><li>Welted underarm vents let you dump heat during high output activities</li><li>Chest pocket and twin handwarmer pockets, all with DWR-treated zips</li><li>Hook and loop cuff closures</li><li>Dual-adjust hem seals out drafts</li></ul>

Patagonia Calcite Jacket - Women's

The standard test for waterproof fabrics uses a standing column filled with water.  The figures given are the water column height.  A rating of 3,500mm or higher can be considered waterproof.  The higher the rating, the more durable the waterproof fabric will be over time.

Waterproof garments use waterproof-breathable technologies and are fully seam-taped. Water-resistant garments use waterproof-breathable technologies but their seams are not taped. Water-resistant garments repel water and protect against wind but are not made of waterproof fabric.

A windproof garment does not allow any air to permeate the fabric.  A garment with windproof panels has panels of fabric that are totally windproof, but the rest of the garment may not be windproof.  A wind-resistant garment resists some wind, but not as much as a garment that is windproof.

The rate at which a waterproof breathable fabric expels moisture when the inner surface is moist from perspiration.  Values under 8,000g/m2/24h provide low performance, 20,000g/m2/24h provide moderate performance and values over 30,000g/m2/24h provide high performance.

Usually referred to as DWR. A treatment made to fabrics that causes water to bead and run off instead of soaking through.
