Patagonia R2 Fleece Jacket

The ultimate cold-weather midlayer, our hybrid-design R2 Jacket provides exceptionally breathable, quick-drying warmth in our most compressible Regulator style.

Patagonia says:

For northern latitudes, frigid starts and cold weather, the highly refined construction and fabric of this Regulator® fleece traps heat and breathes freely to keep you warm and comfortable across a wide range of conditions.

The main body relies on high-loft Polartec® Thermal Pro® 63% recycled polyester fabric, which is superlight, wicking, compressible, stretchy and soft. R1® Polartec Power Grid™ high/low grid panels wrap each cuff and run along the underside of the arms and down the sides to improve fit, mobility and comfort range. The cuffs’ spiral-seam construction won’t constrict your forearms when you push up the sleeves, and the softly lined inner collar and kissing-welt zipper garage go easy on the neck and chin.

Other details: sonic/stitch seam construction on all zippers reduces bulk, offset shoulder seams stay clear of pack straps, zippers close the external pockets (one left-chest and two handwarmers, above harness line) and the handwarmers’ pocket bags double as stealthy internal mesh drop-in pockets.

Patagonia's R2 Fleece Jacket is a great cold-weather mid layer and technical fleece capable of performing across a wide range of conditions. The soft, moisture wicking and super stretchy fabric is fast drying, exceptionally warm and breathes freely.

The body of the fleece is constructed from Polartec Thermal Pro which is warm and super soft to touch. Fluffy is probably the best description to use. The side panels are made from stretchy R1 Polartec Power Grid fabric (just like the R1 jackets) which improves the overall fit, breathability and abrasion resistance of the fleece.

This slim fitting fleece features plenty of storage space with 2 roomy handwarmer pockets and one chest pocket, all of which are lined with a soft perforated fabric for extra comfort. As always Patagonia have really thought about their fabrics and methods used to minimise the impact it has on people and the environment
