Built by Patagonia or Orc Industries for U.S. Special Ops, the genuine PCU Level 5 Softshell is the go-to versatile layer designed to anchor your entire cold-weather system. We like that it eliminates the "boil-in-the-bag" feeling of standard waterproof gear. The massive underarm vents allow you to dump heat instantly, and the hood stows away completely when not needed. It is a practical, no-nonsense layer that works in 80% of weather conditions. Features like its lightweight, encapsulated microfiber fabric and stowable hood make the Patagonia PCU Level 5 a beast at cutting the wind without making you sweat through your layers during a hike.
