Torrentshell Patagonia Jacket - Review 2025

With a new eco-friendly DWR (Durable Water Repellant) finish, the Torrentshell is an all-season raincoat built with the same rigor as any of Patagonia’s expedition-minded outdoor gear. Whether it’s foggy, misting, or the sky’s opened up into a veritable deluge, this raincoat is a trustworthy defender of dryness across seasons and climates.

The price is right for a mid-performance raincoat. It’s tough, seals out moisture, and holds up to Patagonia’s promise of sustainable manufacturing processes.

Of note, there’s no Gore-Tex in the Torrentshell, which helps keep the price down, but as a consequence, it’s not very breathable. Ultimately it’s a very good rain jacket and will serve a very large demographic of people who need to stay dry on their commute.
