- How does the R1 Thermal compare with the R1 Air?
- The Thermal is warmer and thicker, with a hood and high collar for cold conditions. The R1 Air is lighter and more breathable, better for high-output activity in milder cold.
- Is it warm enough as a standalone jacket?
- In calm, dry cold it works as an outer layer for moderate activity. In wind, rain or snow it is best used as a midlayer under a shell.
- Does the hood fit under a helmet?
- The hood is low-profile enough to wear under many climbing and ski helmets, though fit varies by helmet. Try it with your own helmet before relying on it.
- How does it fit?
- It has a relaxed, slightly boxy cut with room for a base layer underneath. Most buyers take their usual Patagonia size; size down for a closer fit.
- What is it made of?
- It is a polyester grid fleece with a brushed high-loft interior and a smooth face. The fabric is treated for light water repellency.
- Does it have pockets?
- Yes, it has zippered hand pockets. There is no chest pocket on this model.
