The Men's R1® Air Full-Zip Hoody is Patagonia's most-breathable men's technical fleece — lightweight, quick-drying construction in a full-zip hooded silhouette designed for cool-weather active use where standard fleeces overheat during exertion. It's warmer than a baselayer and lighter than a standard R1.
It's built from a 5.7-ounce 100% recycled polyester jacquard fleece with hollow-core yarns, where a zigzag-knit pattern increases airflow and minimizes bulk for breathable, compressible performance; the fabric is bluesign® approved. A full-zip silhouette with a slim-fit hood makes venting easy and layers under a helmet or another hood, offset shoulder seams sit comfortably under pack straps, and three pockets — one zippered left-chest and two front with minimal zippers — keep bulk down. Woven binding at the cuffs and hem dries quickly. It's made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory in Sri Lanka, meaning the people who built it earned a premium for their labor.
