They say you can never have too much of a good thing: first tracks through Blue Sky Basin, crystal blue skies and a view that never ends from the top of Vista Bahn, and the incredible warmth and softness of the Patagonia Men's R4 Jacket. This high loft technical fleece has been setting the standard for years, and things just keep getting better. Worn on its own or as part of a layering system, the R4 has everything you need for epic days in the powder or high altitude pursuits.
A Windbloc laminate blocks the gales that frequent mountain exploits while the updated and improved Polartec fabric and microfleece lined collar and cuffs keep you toasty when the mercury is low. Featuring Regulator technology, this insulating full-zip offers moisture-wicking performance for temperature regulating dryness as well as superior compressibility for easy transport. Full stretch capabilities make for unrestricted mobility and the micro-stitched seams and zippers create a streamlined fit absent of movement inhibiting bulk. With shoulder yokes designed for pack carrying ease and a lightweight feel for all day comfort, the Patagonia R4 Jacket for men proves once again that it's number one.

I purchased one of these in need of a nice layer for backpacking as well as a stylish fleece to wear casually. This fleece was worth every penny considering the price tag. Its snuggly and fits amazing. I've had it for almost a year now and still no pilling of wear after more than normal use-my backpack straps never did damage. The zippers are high quality and I have not had any problems. Like most not so thick fleeces, this isnt windproof. You really need an outer shell if you expecting cool wind. Im 6'5" 185lbs and the large fits me like it was made for me.

Greatest jacket
I moved to upstate NY where it gets very cold in the winter.Bought an R4 for my wife and I.We love it.If we could have one jacket and one jacket only,it would be the R4.It keeps us warm,blocks the wind.Worth every penny.Just wish they would make them slimer like the one I bought 5 years ago.

Best Fleece of all Time
This is my go-to Jacket when it's cold. I bought one last year and liked it so much that I got another one in a different color this year. The R4 is a very versatile jacket and excels in conditions from midly chilly weather all the way down to frigid, blizzard-like conditions. It performs just as well as an outer layer as it does layered under an outer shell. I am always amazed at Patagonia's ability to pack so much warmth in such a lightweight, compact package. The R4 is much warmer and blocks the wind much better than many of the heavier/bulkier jackets in my wardrobe. If you're looking for an all around great fleece that performs wonderfully in a variety of conditions - look no further than the R4. Another fine product from Patagonia.

Love my jacket
I have been very pleased with how the jacket performs in all conditions. We have experienced very cold weather and the jacket has been perfect in the cold/windy conditions and yet not bulky or heavy. I would highly recommend this jacket!
