Why We Like The R1 TechFace Hooded Fleece Jacket
The R1 TechFace Hooded Fleece Jacket from Patagonia is a new addition to their technical fleece lineup. It is a versatile jacket that can be worn for various outdoor activities such as climbing or skiing.
This jacket has a fleece construction that provides a next-to-skin feel, similar to Patagonia's warm, stretchy, and breathable Regulator fleece. However, the R1 TechFace Jacket also offers additional abrasion and weather resistance on its face.
It features a DWR finish that helps to shed light precipitation, ensuring that you stay dry. The articulated patterning allows for unrestricted movement during your climb. The hood is designed to be compatible with climbing helmets for added safety and convenience.
The jacket has low-bulk, snag-resistant cuffs that keep a low profile on your wrists. Whether you're cleaning a route or removing skins, these cuffs won't get in your way. The hem and hood are drawstring adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit and protect yourself from an unexpected winter breeze.
