WORK

PATAGONIA

S26 R1 CrossStrata Jacket and Hoody

Re-design and development of a succesful franchise.

“Like a cross between a shell and a technical fleece, the R1® CrossStrata Hoody is warm, stretchy and breathable like our Regulator® fleece, but with the added benefits of abrasion and weather resistance. This slim-fit, cool-weather crosslayer was designed for extended versatility in shifting mountain conditions”

F25 Pluma PRO Jacket

The first product I created a spec for at Patagonia. Inherited this project from the designer I was hired to fill in for. Was given the freedom to design the interior and make adjustments to design throughout the development process as needed. Designed and built for the high alpine climber.

“The Pluma Pro Jacket is our top-tier hard shell built to keep you protected while moving through extreme mountain conditions. This premium alpine jacket combines the stormproof performance of GORE-TEX ePE Pro fabric with an innovative design and intuitive feature set critical for extended mountain travel.“

F25 Hi-Loft Nano Puff Hoody

Another inherited style from the designer I was covering for. Had to make some small design changes to the chest pocket, yoke / overlay placement and construction updates as they came up throughout the development process. First addition to the nano puff family in quite some time, was very proud and honored to work on a product in the Nano Puff franchise. Versatile heavy weight synthetic belay parka, cross merchandised with fishing, built for everything.

“Durable, warm, windproof and water-resistant, the Hi-Loft Nano Puff® Hoody is a burly synthetic insulated jacket built to withstand any winter your multi-month road trip throws at you. Much warmer than our Nano Puff® styles, we body-mapped the insulation in the Hi-Loft Nano Puff Hoody. For extra warmth there’s 200-gram PrimaLoft® Silver Insulation Eco in the hood, front body and back body. For mobility, we used 170-gram insulation under the arms and down the side body. The windproof, water-resistant shell and lining are made of 100% recycled polyester ripstop, just like our Nano Puff styles, but the Hi-Loft Nano Puff Hoody has heavier, tougher fabric on the yoke, shoulders and outer sleeves for durability where you need it.“
