They say you can never have too much of a good thing: first tracks through Blue Sky Basin, crystal blue skies, a view that never ends from the top of Vista Bahn, and the incredible warmth and softness of the Men's Patagonia R4 Jacket. This high loft technical fleece has been setting the standard for years, and things just keep getting better. Worn on its own or as part of a layering system, the R4 has everything you need for epic days in the powder or high altitude pursuits.
A Windbloc® laminate blocks the gales that frequent mountain exploits while the updated and improved Polartec® fabric and microfleece lined collar and cuffs keep you toasty when the mercury is low. Featuring Regulator® technology, this insulating full-zip offers moisture-wicking performance for temperature regulating dryness as well as superior compressibility for easy transport. Full stretch capabilities make for unrestricted mobility and the micro-stitched seams and zippers create a streamlined fit absent of movement inhibiting bulk. With shoulder yokes designed for comfy backpack carrying and a lightweight feel for all day comfort, the Patagonia R4 Jacket for men proves once again that it's number one.

odd fit
January 19, 2012
I typically wear a size extra large in clothing and outerwear but I had to return this one and get a large. The extra large was very long and wide on the bottom. Since there are no pull cords on the waist to tighten the jacket it can be drafty at times.

I just received my Patagonia R4 jacket on Thursday. I must say I don't normally write product reviews but I am so impressed with the warmth and quality I had to share it. This is my first Patagonia product after years of wearing North Face. I wear it strictly as casual outerware. I live in Alaska and the first weekend I had it the temps dropped to minus 30. I have had absolutely no problem with keeping warm. It is a bit on the spendy side, but after wearing it, worth every penny. I would reccommend this jacket to anyone living in a cold climate
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of useVery Nice

Heavy weight, wind proof fleece. Lives up to its description well. The cut is not very athletic, but not sloppy. The fleece could use a hem cinch and the sleeve cuffs should have been finished. Overall very high quality super warm fleece.

Great quality--typical of Patagonia. Although very costly, it is worth it. Although a very warm jacket, it easily packs down to a reasonable size for storage in my pack when the temperature warms requiring less clothing. Looks good enough to wear around town which I do, but is also rugged enough for overnight backpacking.

I purchased one of these in need of a nice layer for backpacking as well as a stylish fleece to wear casually. This fleece was worth every penny considering the price tag. Its snuggly and fits amazing. I've had it for almost a year now and still no pilling of wear after more than normal use-my backpack straps never did damage. The zippers are high quality and I have not had any problems. Like most not so thick fleeces, this isnt windproof. You really need an outer shell if you expecting cool wind. Im 6'5" 185lbs and the large fits me like it was made for me.

I moved to upstate NY where it gets very cold in the winter.Bought an R4 for my wife and I.We love it.If we could have one jacket and one jacket only,it would be the R4.It keeps us warm,blocks the wind.Worth every penny.Just wish they would make them slimer like the one I bought 5 years ago.

I purchased this 6 months ago to replace my beloved Patagonia fleece that had seen almost continuous 3 season use. Nothing could take it's place, but this is probably as close as I could have gotton. On the positive side, this is even more soft and comfy than my old one ever was, and the windblocking layer works great without having any major effect on the drape or stretch of the fabric. What I miss most is elastic at the cuffs and the hem, to keep out drafts and handle the slight extra length of the sleeves on me. I'm fine with no drawstring. I agree with those that think this is a city jacket and not a technical one. That's what makes it so wonderful. It's growing on me.

To be clear, I do like this jacket and will not be returning it. My only problem with it is that this is not a technical outdoor enthusiasts' fleece. The fit is a little on the baggy side, and the cuffs are also loose around the wrists. This is a great windproof fleece for dog walking, going to work, going out on the town, etc. I used to have an older version of this fleece from 2007, but returned it because the windproof laminate liner felt awkward. This newer version has a soft supple feel, and the windproof barrier has improved. There is no clunky laminate feeling as with the R4 from a few yearsÂ’ ago. All in all, a great casual fleece.
Best Fleece of all Time

This is my go-to Jacket when it's cold. I bought one last year and liked it so much that I got another one in a different color this year. The R4 is a very versatile jacket and excels in conditions from midly chilly weather all the way down to frigid, blizzard-like conditions. It performs just as well as an outer layer as it does layered under an outer shell. I am always amazed at Patagonia's ability to pack so much warmth in such a lightweight, compact package. The R4 is much warmer and blocks the wind much better than many of the heavier/bulkier jackets in my wardrobe. If you're looking for an all around great fleece that performs wonderfully in a variety of conditions - look no further than the R4. Another fine product from Patagonia.

I have been very pleased with how the jacket performs in all conditions. We have experienced very cold weather and the jacket has been perfect in the cold/windy conditions and yet not bulky or heavy. I would highly recommend this jacket!

The first day I recieved this jacket I thought it felt a little light and thin. I was really afraid it would not be very warm. WOW was I ever wrong!. I wore it on an 18 degree day with just a long sleeve Tee shirt underneath and I was sweating. If you are looking for a light weight jacket to keep you warm this is it. I wear it alone or under my shell skiing(only on very cold days!). All I can say is WARM! WARM! WARM!.

Great jacket by itself or for layering. Material has a great soft feel. And it is warm!
Implausibly warm
December 23, 2010
I bought this jacket for mundane purposes -- primarily daily activities in New England during the winter. I'm very happy with it. It's been in the 20s here lately and while wearing this I keep getting asked if I'm warm enough, because all I'm wearing is this light jacket. But I am! This is while just walking around, no physical exertion whatsoever. I don't know how they make such a light jacket this warm. It's also quite good in the wind. It's very comfortable and looks good. I only have a two nits to pick with it: - A drawstring around the waist would be nice. - The "hand warmer" pockets let drafts in when they are left unzipped. It fits on the large side, so when wearing it under my soft shell it's a little bulky. But my soft shell is probably a bit too small, and in any event I expect that combo will be good to below zero. I can't speak to its durability as I've only had it for a short time. But it appears to be well built and tough.

I love patagonia in general. I give this a 3 because the quality of the materials are awesome its just the fit is terrible. I have 2 of the lightweight r4 jackets and they are great. Wanted something a little warmer so figured I would try the R4. I usually buy S but since I wanted to wear this under my jacket to ski I figured I would get an XS since I have room in the S. The fit on these is very odd. The body width is great however, the length is unbelievable short both in the torso and arms. I am pretty short and I can't imagine this fitting anyone. Without a cord along the bottom and given the short length it just looks and feels very odd. Glad Altrec has a great return policy. This is def going back
Pros: Build quality, PerformanceExpensive... yes, but it's worth it.

Some say that this jacket has been drifting toward city users as this version doesn't include a drawstring at the waist... I would disagree, it's still equipped to handle some serious back-country use. By the way, this fleece is warmer than any other I've worn. So, if you want a minimal technical soft shell - go with the R4 lite version. Otherwise, go with the R4 if you need some serious warmth, performance, and durability in an easy to care for garment. It's also very soft and velvety... hope you like hugs.

Very warm and windproof, but it's too small.Looks great. Blocks wind great. It is not so good as I imaged. I think old R4 is better than new R4. Consider about size before buy it.

I now own an R4 and a Lightweight R4 - both are excellent jackets. Not heavy but still warm and windproof! Unless it is really cold these are the jackets I reach for first. I wear them for everything from shopping at the mall to crabbing on the Puget Sound. Always warm and comfortable to wear.

I ordered this product from Altrec and in less than a week the item arrived on a Saturday. I am impressed with the service and the weekend delivery. So far, the jacket has been warm, has an awesome color and meets all my expectations. I am looking forward to trying this out this coming weekend at the TN Football game.

R4 is the most warm fleece jacket of patagonia, not R4 LTW, but R4. With this jacket, staying outdoor of under zero centi-degree is not a problem. To try this fleece is strongly recommended.
Pros: PerformanceReally comfy
November 14, 2010
If you want a really soft comfy warm jacket this is it. A perfect medium with plenty of room for a layer underneath (5' 10" 165lbs). Good length in the arms too. Lining slides over layers easily. It is on the bulky side so if you get a shell over it for more wind and water protection, you might want to think about a size larger, depending on how the shell fit runs. I would probably use a different mid-layer than this if I needed a shell.
