Full Description
The Patagonia Pluma Pro Jacket is engineered for dedicated alpinists and climbers pushing their limits in severe, high-altitude environments. Designed with elite-level performance in mind, this top-tier shell features a robust 3-layer GORE-TEX ePE Pro fabric that delivers unparalleled waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection in brutal alpine conditions. Constructed from 100% recycled 80-denier nylon with a woven ripstop backer and a PFAS-free DWR finish, it offers eco-conscious durability without compromising on performance. Bluesign approved and crafted in a Fair Trade Certified factory, the Pluma Pro represents Patagonia’s commitment to both environmental and social responsibility. Whether you're battling spindrift on a summit ridge or rappelling into an icy couloir, this jacket is built to thrive where the stakes are highest.
GORE-TEX is now a totally PFC free waterproof membrane designed by Gore to be more sustainable and cut out harmful long chain 'forever chemicals' found in normal PTFE waterproof membranes. The ePE membrane is a thinner than older GORE-TEX and GORE-TEX PRO, which results in a softer and more supple feel. It doesn't have the same stiff 'cardboardy' feel as older Gore membranes. The biggest performance difference you are most likely to notice is the DWR treatment. Unfortunately flurocarbons are some of the best, most hydrophobic chemicals out there. Getting rid of them does hit performance so you will notice that the nice 'beading' effect disappears quite quickly. Don't worry your GORE-TEX jacket is still waterproof, but to maintain the beading effect you will need to top up the DWR more regularly.
The Pluma Pro is packed with features that cater to the demands of technical mountain missions. A helmet-compatible hood with dual-point adjustment and a Storm Seal gasket ensures warmth and weather protection without restricting visibility. The two-way waterproof main zip provides harness-friendly access and next-to-skin comfort with its internal storm flap. Watertight pit zips and gusseted underarms enhance ventilation and mobility, while a suite of strategically placed pockets—chest, handwarmer, internal drop-in, and media—offer ample storage without interfering with harnesses or packs. Low-profile cuffs with textured polyurethane grips keep sleeves secure, even when swinging tools, and the drop-tail hem features Cohaesive® cord locks for seamless adjustability. With a built-in RECCO reflector (Please note that RECCO is no replacement for a proper transceiver) and rugged alpine performance, the Pluma Pro is the ultimate shell for serious vertical objectives.
