Patagonia Men's R2 Jacket

When cutting-edge adventures require adaptability, the Patagonia R2 Jacket for Men takes on the insulation challenge with the versatile, lightweight, compressible, low bulk of R2 performance fleece. A midlayer mountain staple, this fleece jacket features variegated fibers to enhance compressibility, breathability, stretch, warmth, and wind resistance. A breathable stand-alone jacket when you're aerobically on the move during a light and fast endeavor or as an insulating layer under a shell when the mercury plummets, this fleece is the temperature chameleon. Its matte-finished fabric features higher loft from improved variegated fibers with longer insulating tall fibers and denser, supportive short fibers. At the top of the front full length coil zipper the fleece jacket collar and chin flap are lined with Polartec Power Stretch fabric (recycled polyester) for next-to-skin comfort. Subtle performance details include shoulder seams that are set forward for pack-wearing comfort, welded handwarmer pockets with reverse-coil zippers surrounded with Supplex strips for snag-free operation, and zippered chest pocket with welded-in, reverse-coil zipper surrounded with a snag-free nylon strip.

Solid Peice
I love the entire R line. I previously bought this seasons R1 and R3 and have the R4 from a prior year. Great fit for me in medium, 5'7 and pretty broad shoulders for my height. I primarily use it as a mid layer when the temp starts to dip...nice as casual wear as well as long as it's not too windy.

Not oversized like most jackets
I ordered this jacket for my husband, after I saw my son wearing it. I was very pleased with the beautiful color and softness of the fabric. This Patagonia polar fleece fits true to size and not oversized like most jackets. I ordered a M but will return for the size L.

Stretchy, great fit, light, warm
I have R1, R2, R3 and R4 and R2 is my favorite. It is very light, warm and does not get in the way during various outdoor activities. I've worn it for hiking, climbing, sking and even golfing. R2 is also very breathable and dries up very quickly. I strongly recommend R2.
