A firm Needle Sports' favourite and venerated alpine essential, the R1™ Hoody remains the optimal hooded midlayer for a full spectrum of mountain activities - now made with lighter and more breathable Polartec® Power Grid™ for outstanding stretch, compressibility and durability.
The R1 is a Pullover Hoody for the technical core user. Its high/low grid interior (Polartec® Power Grid™ polyester) is key to the hoody's versatility - it's the lightest and most breathable version of this fleece ever, and still exclusive to Patagonia. It stretches, traps heat and compresses down to practically nothing. For higher-output use and enhanced mobility, they've incorporated lighter weight, super stretchy grid fabric along the side panels, in the snug-fitting balaclava-style hood and at harness line. A minimalist, deep-venting front zip allows for further temperature regulation, with a soft zipper garage to keep your chin comfy, while the off-shoulder seams sit comfortably under rucksack straps. The sleeves push up easily when it's hot, but have discreet on-seam thumb holes for added warmth when it's cold. The torso is long for layering under a harness. With a zipped exterior left-chest pocket and HeiQ® Fresh durable odour control.
