Patagonia Men's R1 Air Full-Zip Hoody

The Patagonia Men's R1 Air Full-Zip Hoody redefines what an active fleece can be, offering exceptional warmth and breathability in a package that feels almost weightless. This technical midlayer is engineered for high-output pursuits in cold conditions, using a unique zig-zag textured fleece that moves with you, wicks moisture, and dries with remarkable speed, keeping you comfortable whether you're climbing up or cruising down.

Best Used For

This hoody excels as a midlayer for stop-and-go activities in cold weather. It is ideal for ski touring, alpine climbing, cold-weather trail running, and mountaineering where regulating temperature and managing moisture during intense exertion is critical.

Key Features

Light and breathable 100% recycled polyester jacquard fleece with hollow-core yarns and a unique zig-zag texture.

Full-length center-front zipper allows for easy venting to manage body heat.

A slim-fit hood is designed to be worn comfortably under a helmet.

Off-shoulder seam construction eliminates chafing when wearing a backpack.

One zippered chest pocket and two zippered handwarmer pockets provide secure storage for small essentials.

Quick-drying woven binding at the back hem and cuffs adds stretch and improves the fit.

Why We Like It

What truly sets the R1 Air Full-Zip Hoody apart is its revolutionary fabric structure. The hollow-core yarns combined with the open, zig-zag jacquard knit create a fleece that offers an incredible warmth-to-weight ratio while being phenomenally breathable. Unlike denser fleece that can feel clammy during hard efforts, the R1 Air actively pulls moisture away from your body and dries in a flash. This means you can keep it on through a wider range of temperatures and output levels, minimizing the need to constantly stop and adjust your layers.

Fabric/Material Composition

The body is constructed from 5.7-oz 100% recycled polyester jacquard fleece with hollow-core yarns. The fabric is bluesign approved and Fair Trade Certified sewn.

Fit

This hoody features a slim fit, designed to be worn close to the body over a baselayer. This athletic cut reduces bulk and allows it to layer smoothly under an outer shell without restricting movement.

Sizing Availability

This product is available in Men's sizes X-Small through XX-Large.

Care Instruction
