It stretches, breathes, wicks and warms -no wonder so many serious trail and mountain athletes use and abuse the Men's R1 Full-Zip Jacket from Patagonia. And now it's even more versatile, with a full-zip front making it easier to use for everything from a midlayer in winter to a lightweight jacket on early spring mornings and alpine summer evenings. The high/low interior grid polyester enhances compressibility, airflow, insulation and dry time, and the jersey microfiber face allows smooth layering. Two zippered handwarmer pockets sit above the harness line and have glued-in (no seams) internal mesh pocket bags. The R1 Full-Zip Jacket is recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

Great fit
This is a very comfortable fleece. It is lightweight and not too baggy like a lot of other jackets. This has a modern fit. I don't love the subtle checkered pattern in the weave but will live with it because the fit is so awesome.

Impressive
I heard so many great things about Patagonia's R1, I had to try it out for myself. The full zip is awesome. Suprisingly warm. Very stylish. So lightweight I can barely tell it's there except for how warm it is. I can't imagine how warm the R3 or R4 would be, but this should suffice as a great layering piece. Patagonia quality is unmatched. I wish I would have purchased one sooner.

R1 Full Zip
The jacket is very breathable and very warm for its weight. The cut is a bit bigger than my (older) pullovers, though still quite trim. It is a great layering piece. I wear a light or mid weight capilene t- shirt underneath depending on the temperature. Great go to jacket for mixed weather.

Great layer
The R1 is very comparable to a lightweight fleece. The microfiber outside is soft and not as bulky as a regular fleece. Easy to layer under a shell. Fits great under my Patagonia Storm Jacket, Torrentshell, and Guide Jacket as an extra layer. I also wear it at work much like a sweater on cold days. I'm 5'9" and 160 lbs and the medium fits me well. It does have a slim fit that is tough to layer over anything with any bulk. The sleeves are a tad on the long side for me but not annoying. Overall a great jacket and I would strongly recommend it.

great jacket
Excellent 3 season jacket. Nice snug fit, warm unless there is wind or extended exposure to temps below 40-45 degrees F. Good for layering in colder weather.
