Excellent
This is an extremely soft and comfortable jacket.I find this jacket to be the perfect weight, construction and comfort for just about everything.A must buy.

Great fleece jacket
I highly recommend this to all the person who go to the trekking in the fall or winter. I have not concluded the durability since I just started trying this jacket and have a confidence of the warmth for the trekking activities. However, in order to keep the warmth, it requires having the wind proof jacket separately since it also has a good breathability. So, by using this associated with a good wind proof jacket, you will get a great versatility for the fall and winter activities.

all other fleece is now obsolete!
This is what I wrote about the R2: "This is an amazing jacket. When you first pick it up, you will be surprised how light it is and doubt that it will do much, as in work as an insulator. But then, you put it on, and it is as if it is a heated garment. Oh my! I had given my wife a fuzzy hoody made out of similar feeling material and wondered why Patagonia did not make anything so sensuous feeling for men, then this! It not only feels great but it works really well. It is almost too efficient to wear around the house as a sweater and almost too efficient to wear under a soft shell out on a morning bike ride with freezing temperatures. The other wonderful part is the fit! I am 172 lbs. and 6'2" and most Patagonia jackets have been too short in the arms and too short in the torso, as well as too much material in the body. Well, this slim fit got it right, sleeves long enough, torso tight enough and long enough in a Large. I have ordered a second one, because they will probably stop making it, or sell out. As a disclaimer, I have never seen or touched the previous R2 jacket that this one replaces, but this new one makes me glad I waited. Finally, Patagonia recognizes that there are tall people in the market. I had a thermal pro high loft in a large tall from another company, and it was great except the cut was for someone with an eighteen inch neck and a bottom heavy torso. Thanks Patagonia!" This is written about the R3 HiLoft: Well, the R3 is the same except a denser and therefore a bit heavier, but that equates to warmth and still light in weight. I personally did not like the asymmetry of a pocket on one side, so I carefully cut the pocket off and now it looks Great! Hey Patagonia: Why not a pocket on both sides? and why not one with a hood (like you offer the Ladies?). Patagonia lists the R2 as a Slim fit and the R3 Hi Loft as a Regular fit, but I can not feel a difference and the tape measure tells me they are cut just alike in size. I have been wearing the R3 Hi Loft over a merino wool sweater down to twenty degrees F, and it does just fine! This new R2 and R3 Hi Loft is so senuous and works so well, it makes all other fleece obsolete."

Very Pleased
This jacket fit perfectly. Like the fact that the sleeves and sides are reinforced. My last jacket started showing wear in the elbow, so this should make it last even longer. Great service. Arrived right on time. Thanks so much!!

Great
This fleece is plenty warm in moderately cool temperatures. Patagonia has a great fit and killer quality. It keeps you really dry with it's construction. The r2 is perfect layer that is not as hot as the r4.
