The shell fabric is stiff but doesn't feel nearly as plasticky or crinkly as some other models. The jacket is neither too slim nor too baggy, making it very comfortable when putting it on for the first time. Overall, this is a well-fitting jacket that is easy to wear, but some features get in the way of a perfect fit. We wish Patagonia had included some moisture-resistant synthetic insulation around the neck and shoulders of this jacket. The shell of the Frozen Range will keep most water out of the jacket, but perspiration or light precipitation entering through the neck and pockets is inevitable. When water makes its way into down insulation, the feathers can quickly lose their loft, bunch together, and lose their insulating properties. One downside is the lack of any synthetic insulation in this jacket.
