Notes: The holy grail of vintage Patagonia fleeces. The Glissade is in great lightly worn preowned vintage condition with signs of normal wear including minor loss of softness due to regular wear.
“Two choices are better than one when you’re faced with quickly changing weather and temperatures: The Reversible Glisade has warm 1/2in PCR pile on one side and on the other, 1.5oz nylon ripstop treated with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. Wearing it ripstop side-in provides slippery case over other layers; ripstop side-out, the Glissade is warmer; the pile traps warm air in its fleece, and the shell protects against wind and drizzle. This season, the puttern has been subtly improved for a smoother fit. The Glissade has a full length, reversible zipper with snap-down wind flap (on the ripstop side), ample handwarmer pockets (for both sides) and a fleece-side chest pocket. Made in USA” (Patagonia, Fall 1997).
