How does the R1 Air Hoody differ from the standard R1?

The Air uses an open zigzag knit that breathes and dries faster but insulates less. The classic R1 is warmer and more wind-resistant but bulkier.

Is it warm enough on its own?

For cool, active days, yes. In freezing or windy conditions most people wear it under a shell or pair it with a vest.

Does the slim fit run small?

It is cut close to the body. If you plan to layer over a heavy baselayer, consider sizing up.

Does the hood fit under a climbing or ski helmet?

Yes. The slim hood is designed to layer under helmets and other hoods.

What pockets does it have?

Three zippered pockets: a left-chest pocket and two hand pockets.

Is it machine washable?

Yes. Wash cold and tumble low; avoid fabric softener, which clogs the fleece's loft.
