Patagonia R1 Full-Zip Jacket - Men's

good investment
January 30, 2011

This jacket goes a long way for the money. The overall quality is great. It's perfect as a midlayer under a shell for downhill skiing, but is also great to wear on its own in warmer weather. Without a protective shell, it doesn't provide much wind protection. The sleeves seem to run a little long, but otherwise is seems tts for Patagonia clothing. Overall, another solid, high quality jacket from Patagonia. Definitely worth the money!

Patagonia R1 full zip jacket

Perfect!!! The patagonia R1 is my absolute favorite. The best base layer around!!!

R1 Full Zip
June 03, 2011

The jacket is very breathable and very warm for its weight. The cut is a bit bigger than my (older) pullovers, though still quite trim. It is a great layering piece. I wear a light or mid weight capilene t- shirt underneath depending on the temperature. Great go to jacket for mixed weather.

It is very useful in various situation.

This jacket fits any layering. In addition, with a full zip, I can put willingly anytime. It is easy to move by slim fitting even if I wear a shell when I use it in combination with a Capilene2 shirt. Thickness of the cloth is just right.

R1 Never Disappoints
December 23, 2012

I've had several R1 garments over the years and they keep getting better. The current version is even softer than it has been in the past, great colors, and full zip is a big upgrade for me over the half-zips. Temperature range is really broad and a great layering piece.

great jacket
December 15, 2010

Excellent 3 season jacket. Nice snug fit, warm unless there is wind or extended exposure to temps below 40-45 degrees F. Good for layering in colder weather.

The Best!
December 24, 2011

This isn't my first R1. I had to come back for more! The weight of this high low garment is the best! You can layer it with other tops to create an unbelievable warmth. Or wear alone when the weather is warmer. I travel to warm and cold climates and the R1 goes with me every time! A fine Patagonia product!

Great Jacket
January 30, 2011

Overall this is a very good jacket. I live in the South, so this jacket can provide warmth on most of our winter days. I have worn it as my only jacket in New York during the winter and was a little cold. For a more extreme climate, I would recommend using the R1 as a layer. It does a pretty good job of keeping most of the wind out, but you will still feel some in windier conditions. I do love this jacket and for where I live, it is an excellent buy.

Great Product
November 15, 2011

This is an extremely comfortable thin layer fleece that works as a light jacket or a layer under a heavier coat. The check pattern is great for mobility. The fit is typical for Patagonia; Large for 6'1", 180. I can not speak to the durability since I have not had this product very long. I recommend this product and will definitely purchase another when this wears out.

Full zip offers full vent vs. full warms
November 16, 2011

OK....so the last thing I really needed was more patagonia garments in my closet...but...having the R1 Balaclava convinced me of the square checked fleece pattern....when worn snug, the garment presses tightly against skin (or wool base layer) and creates slight friction and a gentle warming affect. The full zip allows complete and continuous zipping/venting to desired needs. You'd never guess it, but an essential base layer next to skin or, as my favorite, with a wool layer first. Go for it...

Best fleece you can get
November 04, 2009

The R1 is unbelievable. It is crazy warm for how light it is and it is the most comfortable thing I own. Buy one right now

nice light weight fleece, high quality jacket
October 26, 2011

I bought the Patagonia R1 jacket as light weight fleece for 2 purposes: first to wear around the house or around town when there is a chill in the air. Secondly as an under jacket when it gets cold out there. Not so cold that I need urb-warmth, but when I want the advantage of layers. The R1 is a stylist jacket and looks great. The red color is more cranberry color than a true (bright) red. My only concern is that after a season's wear, the jacket will show excessive warm. Cautious recommendation.

Impressive
September 29, 2011

I heard so many great things about Patagonia's R1, I had to try it out for myself. The full zip is awesome. Suprisingly warm. Very stylish. So lightweight I can barely tell it's there except for how warm it is. I can't imagine how warm the R3 or R4 would be, but this should suffice as a great layering piece. Patagonia quality is unmatched. I wish I would have purchased one sooner.

Comfortable and Quality, but Thin
January 21, 2013

The jacket will serve very well as a thin jacket for cool days in casual conditions or as a layer for much colder days. I have a thick athletic build for a man, and I find this jacket quite small compared to what I expected. I initially ordered the large, but found that it fit quite tightly around the arms and across the chest. It fit more like I would expect a long sleeve shirt would. I needed to move up to a XL, even though I wear L in most brands and felt that it is still a slim fit. That said, it is an incredibly soft and comfortable jacket.

Great fit
September 30, 2011

This is a very comfortable fleece. It is lightweight and not too baggy like a lot of other jackets. This has a modern fit. I don't love the subtle checkered pattern in the weave but will live with it because the fit is so awesome.

Great layer
January 19, 2011

The R1 is very comparable to a lightweight fleece. The microfiber outside is soft and not as bulky as a regular fleece. Easy to layer under a shell. Fits great under my Patagonia Storm Jacket, Torrentshell, and Guide Jacket as an extra layer. I also wear it at work much like a sweater on cold days. I'm 5'9" and 160 lbs and the medium fits me well. It does have a slim fit that is tough to layer over anything with any bulk. The sleeves are a tad on the long side for me but not annoying. Overall a great jacket and I would strongly recommend it.

Excellent jacket!
January 07, 2010

Excellent mid-layer jacket!I really love my merino insulating layers.it very versatile for keeping you warm when you need it to

Great for Layering
November 01, 2011

I've had the R1 for a couple months now and I mainly use it as a mid layer. Unlike most layer jackets that I have purchased in the past, the neck is very soft and comfortable when fully zipped because the top of the zipper is covered with soft material eliminating the annoying zipper rub when moving your head back and forth. I've used it to run around town but it does not slide off and on very easily over normal clothes. As usual, it is another quality Patagonia product: fits great and expected to last a long time.

Does what it was designed to
January 17, 2012

Overall the R1 zip up does exactly what it set out to. With that in mind, you need to know that the fleece is not a hang around the house winter warmer, although it does this job fairly well. The R1 is designed to be used to move moisture and keep you dry during high exertion cold weather activities. It does this job superbly. During a recent winter ride I was I got soaked in a wet rain snow mix and was freezing in my wet jersey and arm warmers. Once the rain stopped I ditched the wet clothes, put on the R1, and rode another 6 miles warm and snug without overheating. Use it for what it's intended for and this is an excellent product.

Essential gear
June 14, 2010

Much like the R1 pullover, it's perfect for running. I'm 6'2" and weigh 180 lbs, and size large fits me perfectly. The arm length and torso fit well - not short, but not too long. No fading or pilling after many washes. If you already own the R1 pullover, you will appreciate the full-zip as well - maybe even a little more.

Very pleased
November 02, 2009

The R1 jacket was just the thing for cold Chicago winters. Also, I was looking for something warmer for backpacking in September and their simple synchilla was chilly once the sun set. This is considerably warmer. It is a "slim fit" and they mean it - a reg. fit on another Patagonia jacket is considerably bulkier. Altrec got it to me quickly - absolutely no problems.

Good Layer for the In-Between
April 12, 2012

This is a great layer for when the weather is not cold enough for a jacket, but not warm enough to just wear a shirt. It is a performace garment, so fits a little snug. I usually wear a medium in Patagonia clothing, but the large is a better fit if you want this to have a little room for your clothing underneath.

Great Mid-Layer
January 30, 2013

I was looking to update the mid-layer i use skiing and have been very pleased with the R1 jacket. Its lightweight but provides enough warmth for me in most conditions. Patagonia's slim fit also minimizes excess material.
