There are also women’s versions for the aforementioned styles, which are practically the same with a different placement of the zippered pocket. We’ve been testing the latter, but all the technical elements hold true for all three of the versions. Fabric, Fit, & Featuresīefore we get into the nitty-gritty, we want to note that you can pick up the R1 fleece in a few different styles, including a Pullover, Pullover Hoody, and the Full-Zip Hoody. Is it everything we hoped it would be? Let’s find out. We’ve been testing this hoody for nearly two months in Detroit, Michigan and have taken it on a climbing trip to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky. Suffice to say, we’ve been excited to get our hands on it and see for ourselves if it’s as awesome as advertised. (Fun Fact: at the time of this review, it’s the 20th anniversary of Patagonia’s R1!) Patagonia R1 Fleece Full-Zip Hoody In Kentucky Ask any serious climber, mountain biker, or trail aficionado and they’ve probably heard of it.

(Unfortunately, we are unable to ship Patagonia products outside of the European Area (defined as the European Economic Area plus Switzerland and the UK)) Due to the nature of the weave, the fit is slimmer than you might expect – a size up might be needed over your usual Patagonia size. This is an excellent midlayer for use on chilly mornings and it’s a reliable piece for cold evenings. The soft recycled polyester face fabric has proven to be far more durable than initially expected – it’s been used and abused on adentures in the Lakes and Snowdonia, and despite days under a pack and weeks on the trail, the Air maintains its soft, comfortable warmth. The flipside of this is that the R1 Air is vulnerable to windchill, and I would strongly recommend combing it with a lightweight windshell on blustery days to make the most of the warmth provided by the fleece. The R1 Air excels in high-intensity use, as it breathes far more efficiently than the standard R1 and wicks sweat with ease. Fair Trade Certified™ sewn.Ĭonstructed from Patagonia's hollow-core fabric in a new zig-zag pattern, the R1 Air is a warmer, more breathable iteration of the venerable R1 fleece. Fabric is made with 100% recycled polyester and is structured for comfort during movement. The R1® Air Full-Zip Hoody is a lightweight, breathable and quick-drying technical fleece for high-exertion activities in cold conditions. Use over a baselayer for spring mornings, layer with a windshell in the autumn, and wear under a hardshell in the winter – the R1 Air handles it all.
