Classic Patagonia
Once again, very happy with Patagonia product. 6'2" 165 and a medium fits perfect. Longer sleeves are perfect for me and a nice fit. Once again, Patagonia is the perfect product.

Absolutely Fantastic
I have worn Patagonia's R1 Pullover for the last 6 years. This pullover saw hundreds of days of use and was my go to piece of gear from ice and rock climbing, to just wearing around town. I recently upgraded to Patagonia's newest version of the R1 and have not been disappointed. They collaborated with Polartec to update their polyester fabric. The result was increased durability and an improved feel. I love it. This is an essential piece of clothing in my layering system. It is a great midlayer that I put over a short or long sleeve shirt. It fits comfortably, not too tight (I'm 5'8" 155lbs and wear a men's medium). Overall I was extremely satisfied with my last R1 pullover. It still had some life left in it, but it's days were numbered. Their new pullover is awesome and will undoubtedly provide excellent performance for many years to come. If you're looking for a great fleece that performs well while looking good (they have a great selection of colors), then the Patagonia R1 Pullover is the choice for you.

Great bright green pull over
Ahhhh first the color. Gecko green, rather bright yet elegant, the needed cheerful note for a 50 year old like me The fit : just great for a thinner individual, looks great on me The more important function : it is thin and light, yet extremely effective. I sported it at Big Sur this week end, this is a place where the Pacific Ocean fog hits you often, it did keep me sufficiently warm. Its fabric is however quite breathable. And the bonus, a very convenient vertical front pocket with a zip which adds to the design and in which I can hide my sunglasses or reading glasses

Compared to the "original"!!
This is my first new R1 since 1998! Yes, I've worn the original version for nearly 13 years before finally buying a new one, and the original has been probably my most used middle layer. I was always surprised how a couple thin base layers (combo of Cap 1 and 2) and an R1 with a shell was all I ever needed most downhill skiing days. For such a thin combination of layers, the warmth was surprising. I'm 5'11" and generally range between 157 and 165 pounds. In the original I actually wore a small, but figured with Patagonia changing sizing on a yearly basis I'd better order a medium. The medium fits identical to the 1998 small version with two exceptions. First, the arms are longer, which I like a lot. Second, the neck fits wider and shorter, which I don't like so much. The high, closer fitting neck on the original was a perfect recipe to keep the cold out. Otherwise, the grid pattern is now wider, softer, a bit thicker, and it seems a bit warmer. Clearly Patagonia and whoever makes the fabric (Malden Mills maybe), have made some great improvements over the years. This is still one of those "how can it really be this warm and adaptable??" layers. Definitely recommended.

R1 is the best!
Patagonia's R1 is a great base layer/outer layer. It breathes and insulates. Great when the temperature is "in-between" as outerwear or as a layer when it is cold. You are assured that you will be comfortable. Performance and durability is key and Patagonia delivers!
