Purchased around the year 2000 at Art Sports in Okachimachi. Can be used either as an outer or inner layer. A 5mm hole was burned near the left elbow during a campfire (see photo 6). Personally, I wore it without concern as it's on the back of the elbow. This is definitely authentic, so please purchase with confidence! Made in USA Patagonia Wind Zone Synchilla Hoodie Fleece Parka ☑︎ Size S Width 56cm Shoulder width 50cm Length 65cm Sleeve length 58cm ☑︎ Condition Overall clean, but with some minor damage. The following is quoted: ☑︎ Information Despite being old, it doesn't feel dated and can still be worn stylishly. This model was overshadowed by the R series, which began to gain popularity, and was a somewhat obscure item. The production numbers were extremely low, and it didn't circulate much in the market, making it a rare item now. This model with pockets without zippers was only produced for two years. I think there are fewer of these than the famous Simple Vest from the old days. Also, you rarely see a full-zip parka in the Synchilla series. Even though it's Synchilla, it's thick enough to be used as an outer layer. Above all, the logo patch, which is usually on the chest or lower part, is placed on the shoulder, which really appeals to the enthusiast. Recommended for those who were looking for this, and for collectors. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect condition vintage item.
