I love this mid-weight layering fleece - it's my favorite fleece that I own, and I own many. I find that I can hike in a thin baselayer and this fleece from temperatures in 40s and 50s. Above that and you'll likely find it too warm while hiking. | |

Incredibly comfortable, technical fleece. | |
| Rating: | |
I have recently been turned onto Patagonia gear, and I must confess it lives up to the hype. This particular fleece is absurdly comfortable and lightweight, utilizing variable length fibers that mimics 'fur' for maximum warmth. | |

R U Going to try the R2? The answer should be yes. | |
| Rating: | |
I had a Mt. Hardware Monkey Man fleece that was warm but uncomfortable so I returned it for the R2. While the R2 is not as warm, it is a overall better fleece. The R2 is more durable, looks great and is welcome on the slopes as well as casual dinners, and it fits great. It has great side pockets that are very roomy and a double as vents when open. It has a great breast pocket that I put my phone and keys in and it keeps them warm, accessable, and protected. The R2 has provided confort on 28 degree 10 hour days of teaching with my Backcountry Shift softshell and on sunny 40 degree spring days I have really enjoyed this jacket with my Arcteryx Sidewinder Jacket. When the temps climb I just break open the pit zips and open the pockets on the R2 and I have direct venting. I bet the R3 will more closely resemble the warth of the Monkey man and I plan to try it next year for the 20 degree days. I don't get touched as much as I did with the Monkey but the look is still fuzzy and is more civilized. I find Myself wearing this fleece everyday and can see it as a useful item until temps are above 70 degrees. | |

R2 jacket | |
| Rating: | |
| After watching my wife wear her R2 every day for two years (well, at least it seemed like it), I finally decided to buy one for myself. First of all, the fit it outstanding. Tall skinny guys like me generally have to settle for something with sleeves that are short or something that wears like a tent. This jacket (size medium) fits as if it were tailored, and the sleeves are perfect. Don't know how it works for short-armed folk, but for me it's perfect. Because of the close fit, i can layer it under anything - rain shell, down jacket, even a suit jacket! Secondly, the breathability is excellent. Not the thing if you're looking for warmth and a windbreaker in one, but that's not what the R2 is for. See above re: layering. I spent a while deciding if i actually wanted to buy another fleece. I'd pretty much given up on the material for backpacking - too stuffy, too bulky. With this jacket, fleece goes back in the pack. My only problem is that I'm sure I'm going to wear it too much. And I love color - good for outdoor (though in hunting season, one looks alarmingly like a deer), and a nice camel color to wear under sport jacket instead of an overcoat. | |

R2 + Shell = Warm + Dry | |
| Rating: | |
| This is my cold weather midlayer of choice, usually below the Ascensionist Jacket. It replaces ALL of my fleece for cold weather technical sports. R2 fabric is a work of inspired engineering. Dense, but light. Breathable, but warm. After trying R1 and R2, my fleece is just leisure wear. I wear this over Cap 3 and under a shell and I am warm on the chilliest NH winter day. The fabric is dense (giving wind protection) and really comfortable against the skin. Fleece dries fast, but it absorbs moisture. The R2 fabric seems to make moisture disappear. I don't know where it goes, but it doesn't stay with me. R2 is warmer, lighter, drier, and more windpoof than fleece. A huge improvment! The trim cut of this jacket is super for me. If I have to extra layer, the fabric ajusts to my body. I can even wear it over a Cap 3 top AND an R1 pullover. No downsides ...except it is pricey. I am looking forward to next winter when I can put it on again. | |

Great lightweight fleece | |
| Rating: |  |
| I picked up the R2 to replace an aging Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man (also a GREAT fleece), mainly due to the slightly lighter weight (maybe just mental) and less bulky feel. This jacket has already served well as a light layer under a rain shell or stand alone to knock off the chill. It is NOT windproof, or even wind resistant, so if you want that, check out the R4. Otherwise, this has to be one of the best lightweight full-zip fleeces around. It layers well, is super soft and comfortable, the colors are always great and it's easy to match other layering pieces in the (R)egulator series with Capilene 2, etc... Overall, this is a great choice for everything from cruising the sidewalks of your hometown to nailing the final move of your latest boulder project. The ONLY downside is the material around the zippers; It's a bit stiff at first, but in a way, it makes zipping easier since the fabric can't move as much. If you need a solid, mid-weight fleece, this is it. | |

Not quite what I expected | |
| Rating: | |
This seems more like a really heavy shirt to me than a really light jacket. The fit is very tight, I usually wear a M and the L in this still inhibits movement when I climb, so order up a size and don't expect to be doing anything too flexible. The sleeves are too tight to be pulled up without cutting off circulation at the elbow, which for me is a problem because when cooking or climbing, I like to have my sleeves up. And finally, it is not windproof at all. I didn't expect it to be, but it really has no windproofing whatsoever, to the point where if you are wearing it at a comfortable temperature and a breeze kicks in, you will be too cold. All that said, it is a great fleece for day to day, walking to class, not too cold, urban environments, etc, it's just not practical enough for me to want to take it anywhere. | |

I didn't get it for 50 bucks..BUT I'm used to paying for clothes in NYC & I usually shop online..but MISSED that deal....but I got a size larger and just layer away ...This is the fIRST time in my life that I haven't worn a winter coat yet but it does take time to get the look...AND I do not like the snow so don't ski...but I have gotten so many compliments on this jacket ,I can't tell you how many and it's so comfy , I don't want to take it off....but those layers I learned you have to take extra when they get wet...while walking to the gym(like 1/2 mile)..just the bottom two...I have had about 5 thin layers and just this jacket at temps in the 20s and it works...now the legs is a WHOLE other story.. | |

My most favorite clothing item | |
| Rating: | |
This fleece is basically the softest and most comfortable jacket I've encountered. It is super breathable and dries really fast. Wind cuts through it, which is part of why it's so breathable. So if you need a windproof fleece go with the lightweight R4 or some other model. I normally wear patagonia small, but went with the medium for this because it fits tightly. If you're going to be using it exclusively as a technical layering piece I would not size up. It will be tight, but it is somewhat stretchy, and breathes well. Otherwise, if you want to wear it for a wider range of purposes, go one size up and it will fit more like a traditional fleece. Even with the medium, I can comfortably layer it under my normal shells. Considering how long these are rumored to last, and how great of a product it is, I think $150 is a really good price. | |

R2 Jacket, A Building block | |
| Rating: | |
| Versatility. I cherish the versatility. The R2 Jkt is one of my most used insolation jackets because I can build on it, and under it. On a cool summer morning up in the alpine I may start a climb with the R2 Jkt layered over a M's R1 Flash Pullover and M's Capilene 1 T-Shirt. I can remove layers as temperature and body heat demand, eventually ending up in the T and sunscreen, or not. If the wind comes up I can create a soft shell by adding a M's Houdini Full-Zip. Spring and fall I'll start with a M's C2 Zip-Neck and build out over the R1 Flash and R2 Jkt with a M's Stretch Element Jacket (yes, ambassadors also have to wait to get their mitts on a new Ascensionist Jacket). The R2 Jkt is also long and clean enough to cinch down under a climbing harness, and to a large extent it stays there. | |

| Strange fleece, not light, not heavy, not windproof. I sent mine back. I'd advise burying a windproof piece. I think this one misses the mark. It wasn't what I expected. | |

Great Insulation Layer | |
| Rating: |  |
I was lucky enough to get one of these issued at work. As a layer under a shell, this is fabulous...lightweight, stretchy, and breathable. As an outer layer, it does not do so well...the slightest wind goes right through it. Traditional old Polartec 200 fleece is more windproof than this making it a better outer fleece, but not as good as the R2 under a shell. I also would never pay $150 for this thing. Bottom line... great if you want to invest in a very high quality, but expensive layering system, look elsewhere if you want a versatile fleece usable as an insulation or outer layer. | |

Nice lightweight jacket | |
| Rating: | |
I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. He loves it and the the bright green looks really great on him. However, I tried it on and took it for a test run. It's not very warm, probably better for layering. Wind was coming right through it and I was cold. I think $150 is quite a lot for such a lightweight jacket. | |

Decent Jacket | |
| Rating: | |
A nice jacket that can be used in a layering system pretty effectively. However, this is not the jacket to wear everyday as i would have liked. The wind cuts right through like your wearing nothing at all. Nice and fashionable but i would have went for another stand alone fleece instead of just a layer. | |

| I bought the red jacket because of the price-it fit pretty well over a white turtle neck-however when I took it off, the jacket left a lot of red fuzz on the shirt underneath-this occured everytime I wore it, so be careful with white under red. | |
