Your shield against mountain weather
When the clouds roll in and the wind picks up, you need more than hope to stay dry. The Granite Crest Rain Jacket doesn't just keep you comfortable — it transforms miserable weather into just another part of the adventure. Built from NetPlus recycled fishing nets, this three-layer shell meets Patagonia's demanding H2No Performance Standard while keeping ocean plastic out of the water. The hood adjusts perfectly whether you're wearing a helmet or not, pit zips dump heat when you're working hard, and the whole jacket stuffs into its own chest pocket when the sun breaks through. It's the kind of reliable protection that lets you focus on the trail ahead, not the weather behind you.
- This 3-layer shell uses NetPlus recycled nylon ripstop from fishing nets with exceptional waterproof/breathable protection.
- Hood with laminated visor and two-way adjustment works with or without a helmet.
- Watertight zippers on chest pocket and handwarmer pockets that clear pack belts.
- Pit zips with welted two-way zippers provide ventilation when you're working hard.
- Self-stuffs into left chest pocket for easy packing.
- Adjustable drawcord at hem routes through front pockets to seal out weather.
- H2No™ Performance Standard shell: 3-layer, 3-oz 30-denier NetPlus® 100% postconsumer recycled nylon ripstop made from recycled fishing nets to help reduce ocean plastic pollution; with a slick jersey backer, a waterproof/breathable barrier and a durable water repellent (DWR) finish
- Fabric, membrane and DWR finish made without intentionally added PFAS
- Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory

Patagonia is the brand that other gear companies want to be when they grow up. In 2022, the company's founder, Yvon Chouinard, famously gave the company to the planet. It’s now jointly controlled by a charitable trust and a not-for-profit dedicated to fighting the climate crisis, and all post-operating profits go to environmental causes.
But in some ways that’s the tip of the (melting) iceberg. For nearly half a century, Patagonia has been an experiment in responsible business. From the farms that grow their cotton to the factories that make their goods and everything in-between, they’ve tried incredibly hard to set the gold standard in terms of ethics, transparency and social responsibility. Not only that, but their gear is made to last – to take hard use and repairs, and to maintain its performance through thick and thin.
All of which is even more extraordinary when you consider that Yvon Chouinard started out blacksmithing climbing gear for his mates in his parents' backyard, using a forge and anvil that he bought from a junkyard.
At WildBounds we don’t usually tend to go for the big-name brands, but this was one we simply couldn’t resist. Quite apart from their amazing ethical and environmental credentials, they just make great gear. We’ve used it and loved it for years, and you will too.
