“The Glissades' reversibility has earned them an honored spot in our standard outfit for travel. How many times, in an unfamiliar place, has it started out the perfect bluebird day - to end up, unexpectedly, snowing sideways? Glissades are soft and flexible with a broad temperature range. Warm, quarter-inch pile on one side and 1.5-oz. ripstop nylon on the other can be reversed in the face of different weather and temperatures. Because the pile's knit is air-permeable, when the Glissades are turned pile-side out they're not too warm to wear as sweaters. Wearing them this way, ripstop-side in, provides slippery ease over other layers. When worn ripstop-side out the Glissades are warmer: the pile traps warm air in its fleece, and the shell provides protection against wind and light drizzle” (Patagonia, Fall 1993).
