• Collar and chin flap lined with Polartec® Power Stretch® fabric (made with recycled polyester) for next-to-skin comfort
• Shoulder yoke offset for comfort with pack straps

As every mountain minimalist knows, little can match the weight-to-redemption value of high-loft core warmth. And now it's even better, because Patagonia's newly refined Women's R2 Vest (Polartec Thermal Pro) is warmer, with improved stretch and a softer hand while being significantly more compressible, breathable and lighter. The short-sheared but high-loft polyester face has a smoother appearance and insulates especially well underneath a shell; its directional knit wicks superbly, speeding dry times. Super-breathable and warm stretch panels (Polartec Power Stretch) along the sides allow for a closer, more mobile fit. With a softly lined inner collar and chin flap for skin comfort, offset shoulder yokes to stay clear of pack straps, and zippered handwarmer pockets. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

Well fitting, warm and slim fit. Collar fits well. Back is long and hugs your back. Very happy with purchase.

Great inbetween layer
Warm, but not too warm. Great for spring hikes. Very comfortable. My one complaint is it bunches a bit in the back.
