Patagonia’s well-known Torrentshell received a major change a couple of seasons in the past, moving from the 2.5-layer model to a stronger and weather-proof 3-layer construction. We took the newly-retooled Torrentshell to harsh environments in Canada’s Yukon territory and were amazed at its performance overall. It’s extremely protective and well-constructed and features the sleek design and appealing style that Patagonia is well-known for. The Torrentshell 3L isn’t the most comfortable or breathable or light-weight shell however it’s complete and offers a good price at $149. We’ll go over our entire review of the Torrentshell 3L.
