| very cute and soft but not that warm! 
by warm and cozy
This jacket is really cute has a nice slim fit and packs up small. I did not find it to be warm at all though--it was more of a "fall" jacket to me or perhaps a good layer for running in winter. I run cold so I was looking for something quite warm and this wasn't it. Also I'm tall and it wasn't as long as I'd have liked. It just barely made it to the top of my pants--not ideal. In the end I sent it back and went with the bulkier (but warmer and longer) regular R4.
wonderful fleece

I live in New England where it is bone chilling cold but I refuse to wear a big bulky coat. I have the warmth and the mobility I crave in this jacket!
Light yet Warm; Fits Great

I bought this as a gift for my wife and she thinks it's the best fleece she has ever owned. It's not thick and puffy like lots of other fleece jackets yet it feels incredibly warm even on cold windy days. The windproof laminate really does work. She says the fit is just right - not body-hugging tight yet not baggy either.
wonderful, lightweight and warm

I purchased this jacket as my "warm layer" under my patagonia light smoke flash jacket. I wanted something that is not bulky but at the same time warm and allowing for freedom of movement. Patagonia did not let me down. It is very warm and comfortable. Having the underarm area constructed with a stretchy non bulky fabric makes a lot of sense to me. Most of the fleece jackets I have seen tend to be very thick making you feel somewhat "tied up" in the underarm area- particularly when you wear them under your winter jacket. This jacket is anything but that. On top of that it has great ventilation which makes it easy to wear as your warmer layer on a colder day. The pockets and finishing touches are well thought out. I would recommend this jacket with no hesitation. The size chart seems about right to me. I am 5'2 and 120 lbs and I opted for a medium because I don't like things to be too tight- this worked perfectly me for me. I can wear a base layer under it and be very comfortable. Go for it you wont be disappointed!
So fantastic

Staying true to the Patagonia brand this is another great jacket! The fit is perfect..functional yet not frumpy. It's warm but it is lightweight. In Chicago it definitely won't do you right in the winter but it should handle well in to the fall.
