When the wind howls and the mercury plummets, keep cranking in our mobile and windproof Lightweight R4 Jacket. A low-nap microfleece face and high/low grid interior sandwich the Polartec Windbloc laminate, while unlaminated R1 fabric (now made with recycled polyester) underarm panels enhance breathability and mobility. A neck gasket seals out the elements, and seamless shoulders allow pack-wearing comfort. With three external pockets (the hand pockets stay clear of your harness), two drop-in internal pockets, a drawcord hem and a slim, feminine fit that accommodates light underlayers. 100% recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

Cute and Cozy
This jacket is great. Slim fit, but true to size. And I love that it isn't too bulky, yet keeps you warm~!

comfy
The most comfortable jacket ever. It fits true to size but I like my clothes a little loose so if you are a medium I would just go with a large for extra room:)))

So fantastic
Staying true to the Patagonia brand, this is another great jacket! The fit is perfect..functional yet not frumpy. It's warm but it is lightweight. In Chicago, it definitely won't do you right in the winter but it should handle well in to the fall.

Great jacket, fit to size, comfortable
This is a great jacket. It was slightly stiff when I first got it. But soften a great deal after the first wash. It fits to size. It's very warm and very adorable. It looks great too.

Comfy Layered or Alone
I wore this jacket in the heart of a cold Canadian Winter during a trip to Banff and loved it. It keeps cold wind at bay which is surprising considering that it is nice and light, non-bulky. Unbeatable combination to pair this up with a waterproof shell. Also good as a stand alone jacket. The fleece doesn't pill and is very plush to the touch (without looking like you're walking around wearing a blanket). Love Patagonia!
