Came across this site that is offering a sneak peek at some Patagonia wares from the OutDoor trade show in Germany. Pictured above is the new Patagonia M10 Jacket that will be coming out in 2010. Check out the website outdoorsmagic.com for a few more photos of coming Patagonia items.

The Patagonia Slingshot Down Vest

Patagonia has done a nice job with their lifestyle line this winter. The Slingshot Down Jacket and Vest are great casual outerwear pieces that look great in a lot of different situations. The vest has a western slant to it that is a nice variation on the run-of-the-mill down vest. I think I would like it more if it had a zipper as well as the buttons, but for the first edition of this vest, it's nice.

I found some non-Patagonia-stock photos that give an idea of the detail. I love the khaki color of the vest in the photos below but it seems like it would show dirt pretty quickly. Anyway, I like coming across non-stock photos as they often give a better idea of actual fit and finish.
