Patagonia Winter Essentials

by Kyle Denis

With fall around the corner, we are filling Apex Outfitter with your favorites from Patagonia! For those who aren't familiar with the brand - Patagonia started in 1973 by Yvon Choinard as a high-end outdoor company, with a focus on producing quality product that is environmentally conscious. Based in Ventura, California, Patagonia provides you the best products for any activity you choose. They design and test gear thinking of the everyday adventurer - whether its test drying bathing suits for quick dry technology or sending hikers out on a vigorous trail - they want to produce lasting products that you love.

To prepare you for cooler weather check out our winter essentials from Patagonia. Before you know it, we will all be Christmas Shopping and bundled up in our newest jackets, so here is a sneak peak of what you will be on the hunt for this fall:

The Better Sweater vest, quarter zip, and full zip jackets are a favorite in North Carolina. This mid weight, cozy material combines the look of wool, with the easy care of fleece for both men and women. Ideal for laying and throwing on when you’re in a hurry, the Better Sweater jacket is easy and comfortable for any adventure! The Better Sweater vest is a top on the Winter Essentials list and is a must have in the Raleigh area. From neutrals like Birch White and Raw Linen to colors Sumac Red and Beryl Green - they are the perfect match with a Fjord Flannel for the cool weather in the southeast. And ladies - if you are looking for a more fashionable, yet comfortable coat - you will fall in love with the Better Sweater Jacket. With a long length and tailored waist, it is styled like a traditional winter jacket, but made with the Better Sweater fleece. It's the perfect combination of style and comfort to keep warm when you are dressed up on a cold night out!

Looking for a throwback or a looser fit? The Synch Snap-T Pullover is for you. This boxy, fleece pullover provides you everyday warmth. This is a classic from Patagonia and has turned into a fast seller at Apex Outfitter. The durable, midweight Synchilla fleece pullover has the signature Snap-T pocket and placket, keeping with the classic Patagonia style. Both men and women gravitate towards this loose, comfortable pullover to throw on and go. In various colors and patterns at Apex Outfitter, we will find one that matches your style. The Synch Snap-T Pullover is seen all over college campuses and is worn by those of all ages. There’s a reason it’s a classic - you can’t go wrong with Patagonia’s Synch Snap-T Pullover.

Keep your core warm this winter with the Retro X Vest. This pile fleece vest is made from soft 1/4 inch Synchilla and lined with 100% polyester brushed mesh, creating the windproof barrier. So, your center will stay cozy and warm, even when the wind picks up. Whether you put it over a button up day to day or use it as a base on the trails, Patagonia's Retro-X Windproof Vest is unlike any other. This iconic look has been a Patagonia staple in vests and jackets and continues to stay a strong piece for both men and women. Stay warm this winter no matter what the climate in Patagonia's Retro X Vest.

Get ready for the coldest weather with Patagonia's Nano jacket collection - the Nano Air and Nano Puff. Once you slip them on at Apex Outfitter, you will understand why it has become a favorite. The Nano Air is a synthetic down jacket that is made for outdoor explorations. And yes, you can still have the warmth of down with a synthetic fiber plus various other benefits! The tag line "Put it on, Leave it on" embodies the purpose of the Nano Air. An insulation breakthrough, the Nano Air jacket, is warm, breathable, and stretchy, so you'll spend less time messing with layers during a non stop mission. This 60 g insulated jacket is warm, but allows air to flow through as you move - therefore you stay warm, but don't overheat when climbing or hiking. If you need more wind protection, the Nano Puff Jacket has just that. Patagonia's Nano Puff is wind AND water resistant, while keeping you warm with Prima Loft insulation. Wear this as outerwear or as an insulating layer in the coldest climates. Whether you are watching the Panthers play this November, hiking the Appalachian Trail, or watching the acorn drop in downtown Raleigh the Nano Puff will keep you warm throughout the season.

Soft, fuzzy, and comfortable - the Women’s Re-Tool Snap-T Pullover is a girl’s best friend in the winter! The signature Patagonia four snap style is combined with their Thermal Pro polyester for the softest winter pullover. The slim cut and tailored seams gives a feminine silhouette in a typical bulky pullover or jacket. So if you are in need of a new favorite pullover - pick up the Tailored Gray, Raw Linen, and more Re-Tool Snap-T at Apex Outfitter! And if you are searching for a gift for your mom, sister, girlfriend, or even grandma, we are confident the Re-Tool Pullover will be put on as soon as they open it.

Saving the best for last, the Los Gatos Vest is every ladies latest obsession. This versatile and extremely soft, deep pile fleece vest is cozy, yet sleek, with a tall collar and handwarmer pockets. Easy to pair with a basic tee or your favorite flannel, Patagonia’s Los Gatos Fleece vest is a necessity in every woman’s closet this fall. Neutral colors like El Cap Khaki, Birch White, and Pebble Grey pair well and require little thought when putting together an outfit. Winter is coming quickly, so make sure to start your shopping early. Trust us when we tell you to get one while you can, they sell out quickly at Apex Outfitter!
