- How does the R1 Ultralight differ from the standard R1 Hoody?
- It is thinner and lighter, with less insulation and more breathability. Choose it for high-output activity; the standard R1 is warmer for slower days.
- Is it warm enough on its own?
- Only in mild or active conditions. It is designed as a midlayer, so pair it with a shell or vest when you stop moving or the temperature drops.
- Does the hood fit under a climbing helmet?
- Yes. The hood is cut close to fit under a helmet, and it adds warmth at the neck without a separate beanie.
- How does the slim fit run?
- It runs snug and athletic. If you want room for a base layer or a looser feel, consider sizing up.
- What activities is it made for?
- Climbing, hiking and other fast, sweaty cold-weather pursuits. It also works as a light travel layer.
- Is it machine washable?
- Yes. Wash cold and skip fabric softener, which can clog fleece and reduce breathability.
