Patagonia's most-breathable women's technical fleece vest — lightweight, quick-drying construction in a core-warmer silhouette for cool-weather active use where full-sleeve insulation traps heat. Built around the same R1 Air construction as the rest of the line.
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
- Zigzag-knit pattern — increases airflow and minimizes bulk
- Mobility-first full-zip vest — slim fit built for a full range of motion
- 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 hem and armholes — quick-drying with added stretch and improved fit
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 runners, ski tourers, and hikers who want a core-warmer that doesn't overheat during exertion. The vest cut adds versatility for active customers who already own full-sleeve R1 pieces and want a complementary layering option for the active-pause cycle.
