Mens Jackets
Patagonia Outerwear, Properly Stocked
Patagonia makes up the bulk of the mens jackets range at Balsa, and there's a good reason for that. Their outerwear covers the full spectrum from lightweight wind shells and Nano Puff insulated jackets through to serious fleeces and waterproof hard shells. Every piece is built with durability and environmental responsibility in mind — Fair Trade certified, recycled materials, repairable construction. These are jackets you keep for years, not seasons.
Built for the Welsh Coast
Anyone who surfs or spends time outdoors in South Wales knows the weather doesn't stay predictable. A September morning at Rest Bay can go from sunshine to sideways rain inside an hour. The outerwear here is selected with that unpredictability in mind. Patagonia's wind-resistant and waterproof options handle the Atlantic weather, while the fleeces and mid-layers from Patagonia, Volcom and Katin deal with the layering in between.
Beyond the Waterproof
Not every jacket needs to be technical. Katin and Rhythm bring a more casual, lifestyle-oriented take on outerwear — coach jackets, chore coats and lightweight quilted pieces that look great in town and still handle a cool coastal evening. Volcom add their skate and snow heritage to the mix with durable, style-conscious options. The full range of Patagonia clothing at Balsa is worth exploring if you're after the complete Patagonia selection.
