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. Warmer than a baselayer, lighter than a standard R1.
Built from a 5.7-oz 100% recycled polyester jacquard fleece with hollow-core yarns, the zigzag-knit pattern increases airflow and minimizes bulk for breathable, compressible performance. Fabric is bluesign® approved.
Standout features:
- Hollow-core jacquard fleece — wicks moisture, dries fast, and stays highly breathable for cool-weather activities
- Zigzag-knit pattern — increases airflow and minimizes bulk, with a slim fit
- Full-zip silhouette with slim-fit hood — easy on-off venting; hood layers comfortably under helmets and other hoods
- Offset shoulder seams — sit comfortably under pack straps
- Three pockets — one zippered left-chest, two front pockets with minimal zippers for reduced bulk
- Woven binding at cuffs and hem — quick-drying for improved fit and durability
Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory in Sri Lanka, meaning the people who built it earned a premium for their labor. Fabric is bluesign® approved.
Right pick for customers who run hot during exertion or live in shoulder-season climates where standard fleeces overheat. Useful for hiking, running, ski touring, and the active rotation where moisture management matters as much as warmth — works as a standalone piece in milder cool weather or under a shell in colder conditions.
