Fifteen years and cranking, Patagonia's R1 fabric still sets the bar for alpine efficiency, and the R1 Hoody's legendary versatility begins there: a high/low grid interior (Polartec Power Dry polyester) that stretches, traps heat, breathes freely and compresses to practically nothing. Its highly refined design features the pared-down detailing that climbers and backcountry skiers need, like a snug-fitting balaclava-style hood, a minimalist deep-venting front zipper that's offset at the chin (with a soft zipper garage for next-to-skin comfort) and a Variable Conditions Cuff with discreet on-seam thumb loops and a spiral-stitch construction that lets you push up the sleeves without constricting your forearms. With off-shoulder seams for pack-wearing comfort, a long torso for layering under a harness, an exterior chest pocket and lightweight micro-grid stretch polyester at the cuffs, hem and armpits for minimal bulk, increased breathability and quicker dry times.
