Men's R1 Hoody

More than fifteen years and cranking, Patagonia's R1 fabric still sets the bar for alpine efficiency, and their R1 Hoodys legendary versatility begins there: the highlow grid interior Polartec Power Grid polyester has been redesigned exclusively for Patagonia so its even lighter and more breathable. It stretches, traps heat and compresses to practically nothing, with the pared down but versatile design features climbers and backcountry skiers need: a snug fitting balaclava style hood, a minimalist deep venting front zipper with a soft zipper garage that keeps your chin comfy, and a Variable Conditions Cuff with discreet on seam thumb loops and a spiral stitch construction so you can push up the sleeves with no ensuing forearm pump. With off shoulder seams for pack wearing comfort, a long torso for layering under a harness, an exterior chest pocket and Polygiene permanent odor control.
