We know that Patagonia products are expensive—that's why some refer to them as Pradagonia or Patagucci—but as you can see with their R2 Jacket, there is a reason for it. It's bomber, fashionable, and legitimately sustainable. The R2 Jacket is a modern outdoor staple that your beloved mountainperson will appreciate for its aesthetics as well as its practicality.

The stretchy polyester knit uses variable-length fibers to optimize insulation and compressibility, while affording outstanding breathability, warmth, moisture-management, and minimal weight. This means they can pack it in anywhere comfortably and can use it as a base-layer wicking machine or an outer layer in less extreme climes. It is also recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program. ?Price: $150; www.patagonia.com
