Patagonia has once again set the standard for performance outerwear with the latest iteration of its industry-leading R1 fleece.

Now lighter and more breathable than ever, the new R1 collection is designed for high-output activities and varying conditions.

The updated R1 lineup, available now at REI Co-op, includes the R1 Jacket, R1 Pullover Hoody, and R1 Vest—each offering superior warmth, mobility, and comfort.

R1 Jacket: The Perfect Mid-Layer

The men’s Patagonia R1 Jacket is a lightweight and packable mid-layer, built for cool mountain days and shoulder-season adventures.

Constructed with Polartec Power Grid fabric and Capilene Thermal Weight base layer fabric, this hybrid design enhances warmth while ensuring optimal breathability.

The combination of fabrics also allows for increased mobility, making it an ideal choice for climbers, hikers, and backcountry explorers.

For those who need a go-to technical fleece, the Patagonia R1 Pullover Hoody delivers.

Featuring a slim fit with a deep center-front zipper and a soft kissing-welt zipper garage, this hoody provides next-to-skin comfort in cool conditions.

Crafted from 93% recycled polyester and 7% spandex in a classic grid pattern, it effectively traps heat while wicking moisture away, ensuring warmth and dryness during stop-and-go activities.
