Sizing ChartPatagonia Women's R4 Jacket (Fall 05)
Rather than simply make the Women's R4® Jacket a thicker variation of the fleece found in the R3® Jacket, Patagonia combined the thermal warmth of R2® Polartec® Thermal Pro® outside and wicking R1® Polartec Power Dry®, then added a windproof Polartec® Windbloc® laminate between the two fabrics for unsurpassed warmth and protection while hiking, climbing, backpacking and camping. Patagonia's Women's R4® Jacket is superior, expedition-proven outerwear that excels in dry, windy and cold conditions. This pack-ready garment is completely void of shoulder seams to minimize discomfort under a cumbersome backpack. Elevated handwarmer pocket openings give you quick access to important items even while you're wearing a climbing harness or ascent pack. Patagonia recently revised their R4® Jacket with longer Elastic Centaur Cuffs that help keep the backs of your hands warm without excess flopping fabric up front. The overall fit features a flattering, contoured feminine cut that does more than look good--it stays out of your way when you need to move quickly and freely across remote and untouched terrain.
- 12.5-oz. R4 fabric consisting of a Polartec® Windbloc® laminate between R2® Polartec® Thermal Pro® and R1® Polartec Power Dry®
- Distinct contoured, feminine fit emphasizes complete freedom of motion
- No shoulder seams for a backpack-friendly fit on extended hauls and long trips
- Elevated handwarmer pocket openings (hidden) allow access while in a harness or loaded down with a pack
- Hidden zipper on left chest pocket
- New Elastic Centaur Cuff wrist closures keep backs of hands warm
- Chin flap has a scrape-free, fold-over zipper cover
- Drawcord hem
- Weight: 19 oz. (539 g.)
Fit Tip: This item is fitted. Item is form fitting, tighter and closer to the skin than average. Most customers size up one size.

Michael - 2006-05-09Must Have
I bought my wife this one at a great price b/c she was always wearing mine at football games or when we are out side with our friends. Jacket keeps you very warm and is a great investment
amy - 2006-04-24love it!
It's cut to fit a woman's body. Long sleeves. Won't expose your midriff when you raise your arms. Medium to heavy weight fleece. Breathable and best of all, completely windproof! Wish I would have bought this before any of my other fleece coats!!
Yoshie - 2005-10-05I like it.
This is the best fleece I've ever owned! Arigatou-gozaimasu!!!

Emily Mathews - 2005-03-12It can even warm me in Boston!
Starting off with the con's, I agree with many of you: the jacket is especially tight in the armpits and the arms. I like to wear hoodies over a tee shirt during the winter, and the arms are borderline too tight when I add that layer. It actually makes it very difficult to look at my watch. Otherwise, it is wonderful.
Full sized pockets fit a lot of things, and it has really stood the warmth and wind test of the New England winter that doesn't seem to end...

Great fleece!
Anonymous - 2005-03-06Great jacket!
This jacket is all-purpose and great for casual days on the town, but also great for camping, hiking, etc in cold weather. A must have.
dana - 2005-03-05best fleece i've owned
doesn't get much better than this. i had a north face basic fleece and this doesn't even compare. it also stays looking nicer longer. good in the wind.
Valentin - 2005-03-02Very warm and light weight
It is a great jacket, very warm, and soft, beautifully detailed, and beautiful color, and high quality materials and workmanship. It is very light and ideal for trips were packing space is a premium.
This jacket is a great shell for high altitude climbing.
If you are planning in getting one, I'm sure you will enjoy it for many years to come.
Regards,
V.

I am loving this jacket - it really keeps me warm, and the fit is just right. It is not the type of jacket where you can bundle up with a bulky sweatshirt/sweater, but you won't really need to cause it keeps you toasty already. The contour fit is flattering, and the fabric is nice and soft to touch. I wish Patagonia offered more color options - I would really go for an olive/forest green or maroon red...and I also wish they provided inside pockets to the jacket. Aside from that, I am very happy with my purchase.

I love the Patagonia R4. Like some of you I wasn't sure wheter or not to spend the money, but I did and I LOVE IT. It is the best investment I have ever made in a jacket. It is windproof. I Live in Michigan and this is basically the only jacket I use. It is so warm!!
Anonymous - 2005-02-05Perfect- a must have
Perfect coat. It fits a bit snug but holds in the heat like an oven.

What a terrific jacket! It is functional and looks great too.

This coat is so warm and cute! I wear it all the time. It is warm enough for the winter, yet so light.
Chris - 2004-11-15Runs small
Awesome fleece. I'm told it is extremely warm and comfortable (was a present). Jacket looks great, but note that it runs a little small.
PS Altrec online customer service was great. Switched my shipping preference no problem. Thanks.
Anonymous - 2004-11-13A great jacket at a great price!
I was unsure which jacket to order and I am glad I chose the one I did. It is warm, nice looking, and repels the wind effectively. It is amazing how warm it is even though it is lightweight and therefore not cumbersome. My sister wants one too and I have received many complements on it. I would heartily recommend it to anyone.

Mike - San Francisco - 2006-05-23Warm jacket... fit too tight and short
I purchased the Women's version of the R4 for my girlfriend, after being so satisfied with the mens version. Both R4's are the warmest fleece that we both have worn and we like that a great deal about the jacket.
Unfortunately, the women's version is much more form fitting and a lot shorter in length then the men's version. So much so, that my girlfriend that is a petite small needed to order a medium just to get something that fit comfortably! These jackets are intended for outdoor activities,and should allow the freedom of movement while hiking that the men's version does. Yes, the form fitting does "look good" but my girlfriend would have prefered a few extra inches in length...
In checking, it looks like Pentagonia might have corrected this with their newer version of the jacket (which they advertise as a relaxed fit).
Overall, a great, warm fleece jacket, but order a size larger!
Sara - 2006-05-17I love my fleece!
This fleece is warm and insulated. It fit a little smaller than I expected and shed on my clothes a little bit the first few times I wore it.
Anonymous - 2006-04-16Very warm, but not the most comfortable
the jacket is very warm, and is great in the cold if you are not doing anything too strenuous. If you are, it's a bit sweaty since it's not as breathable as regular fleece. Also, it's not very stretchy and I find the centaur cuffs annoying to get off, so it loses a point for comfort.
tammy - 2006-03-07warm and cozy even in the wind
When i first got my jacket I was ready to send it back because of the tightness in the armpits. But I decided to wait and wear it a few times. True, its still snug...but 2weeks later Im still wearing it. You can only wear a thin shirt with it, but really thats all i need. Ive wore it in 25mph winds at 20 degrees and been plenty toasty. No wind gets in, unless you have a pocket open. I may keep this jacket after all.
Anonymous - 2006-03-06You will love this jacket!
Stylish and very warm. It is cut small, but if you have doubts about the sizing, get the next largest size. The arms are long and tight-fitted, so it is hard to see your watch and such. Despite the sizing and the long arms, it is still a great jacket. It can protect you from cold wind better than a down jacket!
Anonymous - 2006-02-07Great jacket but tight fit
This is a very nice jacket but I found it a bit tight under the arms. Very durable and great at stopping the wind, you only have to wear a light layer underneath. It has a very close to the body fit.
Hong McConnell - 2006-01-24meets expectation
The product is great but the size runs a little small and for people do not like long sleeves, might not like it. Otherwise, it is warm and comfortable to wear.
Anonymous - 2005-02-22R4® Jacket
The jacket is really good, it's much warmer than I expected (which is good) and it has a nice fitted cut. The only thing against the seeming in the shoulder area felt bit weird at first and took some getting used to.

Warm jacket and cute color.
Anonymous - 2005-02-20toasty warm, but sized a little small.
i enjoy the jacket overall. it definitely is worth it.
Anonymous - 2005-03-05Too much money for what it is
I really wanted to like this, but found it to be lacking a bit in toughness. I also found that the fabric didn't seem to breath that well. The armpits fit up fairly tightly, which gives this jacket a nice look, but made me feel clastrophobic. I kept wearing it but noticed that each time I took it off, I felt relieved. I sent it back, wasn't worth the price tag and I could tell I'd accidentally kill it or in some way harm it. Perhaps would fit a smaller person better. Did keep the wind out well and was warm.
