Patagonia R1 Hoody - Mens 2016

A venerated alpine essential, the R1® Hoody remains the optimal hooded midlayer for the full spectrum of mountain endeavors – now made with lighter and more breathable Polartec® Power Grid™ for outstanding stretch, compressibility and durability. More than fifteen years and cranking, our R1® fabric still sets the bar for alpine efficiency, and our R1 Hoody’s legendary versatility begins there: the high/low grid interior (Polartec® Power Grid™ polyester) has been redesigned exclusively for Patagonia so it’s 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.
