The Patagonia R1 Air Full-Zip Hoody is a lightweight technical fleece built for cold-weather activity where you sweat. Its hollow-core recycled polyester grid knit moves moisture and dries fast, and the zigzag texture traps warmth without bulk. It sits between a base layer and a midweight fleece: warmer than a thin grid fleece, far more breathable than a softshell or puffy. Owners treat it as a go-to for ski touring, climbing and cool-weather running; the main complaints are the slim cut and the thin hood.
