Patagonia's most technical core warmer comes in an improved, even more versatile fabric. The new Men's R2 Vest is designed in variable-knit polyester (7.4-oz Polartec Thermal Pro that's 40% recycled) to enhance compressibility, breathability, and moisture-management. With R1 stretch panels along the torso, backs of armholes and collar, this low-bulk warming insulation really shins when worn under a shell. The R2 Vest is recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

The fleece on the r2 is soft, plush and very lightweight. It's not the same after a wash, even a dry clean, but still holds up quite well. It's a technical fit, cut pretty slim. Great layering piece under a shell as it maintains mobility.

R2 Vest
use the vest as a base layer, great added warmth and wind barrier.

Warm and light weight
The high quality is typical of Patagonia clothing. The vest is sharp looking and very functional. I have several vests and this is definitely one of the favorites. Like most of Patagonia's technical wear, it is well fitted and proportioned. Be warned though, the close fit does not leave much room for many layers of clothing underneath.
