Product Information

Full details

The Patagonia Houdini Stash 1/2 Zip Softshell Jacket is designed for adults seeking lightweight, weather-resistant outerwear for active pursuits and casual wear. Its key benefit is superior packability and wind protection, making it ideal for unpredictable conditions. A potential caveat is its featherweight construction, which may offer less insulation in very cold weather. This jacket features a durable recycled nylon ripstop shell with a DWR coating, strategic ventilation slits, hook-and-loop secured hand pockets, and a chest zip pocket. It conveniently stuffs into one of its own hand pockets for ultimate portability.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket features a durable water repellent (DWR) coating which resists light moisture like mist or very light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and will not protect against heavy downpours.

What is the main benefit of the chest and back slits?

These overlapping slits are designed to promote airflow and ventilation, helping to regulate your body temperature during activity by allowing excess heat and moisture to escape.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The Houdini Stash jacket is primarily a windbreaker. It offers minimal insulation on its own. For cold weather, it is best used as an outer shell layer over warmer insulating garments like fleece or down jackets.

How does the jacket pack away?

The jacket is designed to be stuffed into one of its own hand pockets. Simply turn one of the hand pockets inside out, stuff the jacket into it, and zip or secure it closed.

What does 'Fair Trade Certified' mean for this jacket?

It means that the factory where the jacket was made has been certified by Fair Trade USA, ensuring that workers involved in its production have received fair wages and benefits, and work in safe conditions.

Are there any PFAS chemicals in the DWR coating?

The DWR coating on this jacket is made without intentionally added PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances).

Troubleshooting

Jacket does not feel fully dry after washing.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. Air dry or use a low heat setting in the dryer. Incomplete drying can make the fabric feel damp.

Water repellency seems reduced.

Wash the jacket with a technical fabric wash. If performance doesn't improve, consider reapplying a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as they can degrade the DWR coating.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Ensure there are no fabric snags. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper.
