New trekking pants, wind shells, rainwear, bags... A roundup of eye-catching items from Patagonia's Spring/Summer 2024 preview

The mountains are still covered in snow, but down below, the spring and summer season of 2024 has already begun

Meanwhile, we recently sneaked into Patagonia's 2024 Spring/Summer items exhibition, which was held early, so we'd like to summarize the items that caught our eye at Outdoor Gearzine

The Quandary Pants series has been expanded and updated

These versatile hiking pants have been renewed, offering the ease of movement found in alpine/trekking pants and a style that can be worn for travel or everyday use. In addition to the standard trekking model, three new styles have been added for the 2024 season: convertible, jogger, and shorts, completing the extensive lineup

Patagonia's trekking pants have always been known for their slim silhouette, and the new model uses NetPlus material recycled from discarded fishing nets, giving the pants a more refined silhouette and a new design that allows the waist to be worn inside or outside. They've also been completely redesigned, with repair patches attached to the back of the pockets

There are standard styles for everyday wear, convertible styles for a wide range of seasons and weather, joggers for ease of movement, and shorts for summer only, so they seem to suit a variety of tastes and activities

This time, repair scraps have been discreetly added to the lining of the pockets, so that if the item gets torn, you can repair it yourself as much as possible without having to buy a new one

These convertible pants can be worn as both long pants and shorts. They are extremely versatile and have many loyal fans

These standard long pants have a buttoned roll-up cord at the hem so you can roll up the hems

The Houdini Stash/Airshed Pro is a lightweight wind shell that's even easier to use

The Houdini Jacket, a windshell familiar to trail runners, now comes in a new style: the Stash. This half-zip pullover jacket is hoodless, making it even more compact and portable

The fabric is a DWR-treated nylon ripstop that is so thin that the lining is transparent. The bold yet nostalgic coloring is also lovely

The Airshed Pro, which has become a new standard in recent years, has also been updated in detail. The hybrid structure is still intact, with windproof nylon material for the body and Capilene Cool Lightweight material for the hood and sleeves, which allow air to pass through. The new version also uses a more stretchy material for the body, which appears to further improve ease of movement

The new Airshed Pro Pullover offers improved mobility, a chest pocket and smarter packability

The classic Storm Racer Jacket has been updated for fastpacking convenience

a previous lightweight rainwear comparison review on Outdoor Gearzine and is one of my personal favorites, has also been revamped.

While the fabric remains the same, the appearance has been significantly revamped. The unusual front zipper design (which made sense for trail running) has been replaced with a simple front zipper and chest pocket like a regular rain jacket. The style, comfort, functionality, and lightness are undeniably impeccable, so I think this more versatile model will sell better than before

This season's limited edition rope bag, the "WinWin Packing Tarp," offers endless possibilities

Although it's a limited edition model only available this season, the WinWin Packing Tarp looks incredibly practical. It's a bag for storing climbing ropes, but it can also easily store bulky gear, luggage, wet items, and dirty items. It even comes with a tarp (rug) that can be used to spread things out or as a footrest. The roll-top entrance is highly expandable, making it a smart storage solution that can flexibly accommodate a variety of activities

Other noteworthy items for mountain-related activities

Capilene Cool Trail uses Naia® Renew, giving it a cotton-like feel and texture, and its stylish graphics make it a piece that outdoor enthusiasts will want to wear all the time

The Boulder Fork Rain Jacket, which features rust-resistant zippers, is ideal for trekking and fishing. This means it's also suitable for climbing streams

The Black Hole Duffel series, perfect for carrying large amounts of luggage, is now made with recycled TPU coated fabric for a more environmentally friendly look

The Black Hole Cube, which allows for smart storage of small items, has also been updated with recycled TPU coated material and its size has also been improved

summary

This season, there seemed to be a lot more big new products for hiking and trail running than last year. In addition to the items introduced this time, we found many other items that seem to fit various outdoor adventures, including hiking. Outdoor Gearzine will actively try out various new products as soon as we receive new information, so we will continue to check it out this season!
