Description of Patagonia R4 Fleece Jacket - Men's:
|
The windproof Patagonia Men's R4 Fleece Jacket fends off freezing temps and biting winds as you climb the ridge or schuss down the slope. Patagonia sandwiched a windproof laminate between high-loft, wicking fleece to create the R4 Jacket. Polartec Thermal Pro fleece efficiently holds onto your body heat, and the grid-patterned lining pulls perspiration away from your body to keep you comfortable as you work or play hard in the cold. Because the R4 stretches, you won't feel inhibited as you reach with your ice axe, plant with your ski pole, or reach down to adjust your crampon. This regular-fit jacket layers well, so you can pull it on over long johns or wear it under a shell. You'll appreciate details such as the lack of shoulder seams so you can wear your pack comfortably and high hand pockets so your harness doesn't cover the zippered openings.

|
Bottom Line: When you're high on the snowy mountaintop, you'll be loving your Patagonia R4 Jacket.

| Great late season fleece 11-11-08 |

| I spent most of my spring and summer skiing while wearing the R4 and have been very pleased so far. When temps get above 50F, it can get a bit warm but the ventilation by the pits certainly help. At times, I think its wind resistance could be better, but I suppose that's what I get for taking this jacket above 13k feet with 40+mph winds. Durability has been top-notch so far and there are no problems to report. I don't have much experience with other fleeces, but will definitely consider the R4 should someone try to steal mine. |

| This jacket is now lighter and softer and with much better zippers than its predecessor. The Aegean Blue is Beautiful! I'm purchasing it for a trip I'm anticipating to take soon... However, I can't quite decide if I need a Small or a Medium or Aegean or Black...
Bottom Line: There is no other fleece jacket in the market that's better at providing windproof, compressibility, lightweight, durability, stretch, comfort, and is also stylish. ONE issue: I wish they would have placed regular hand warming pockets instead of the "venting" pockets whose purpose is useless for me-(am I the only one?) |

| I have owned this piece for almost two years now and it never lets me down. Living in MN, windchill is always a factor so you need to have something that blocks the wind. TNF's Denali might be warm around the house, but with the slightest breeze you might as well not be wearing it at all. The R4 cuts the wind and is incredibly warm. I'm a big fan of the higher pockets too, and you don't need pitzips when your pockets double as vents. I am 6'0"/165 lbs and I ordered a Large so I could layer underneath on colder days, though a Medium would have worked a bit better if I wasn't going to layer. With this jacket all you need to remember is to throw a hardshell in your pack in case of rain or snow. Hands down, this is the best fleece ever and I won't buy another one until this one wears out, and then I'll get the latest R4 again! |
