Summary

The Patagonia R1 TechFace Hoody is a weather-resistant fleece that shines as an outer layer for windy, damp conditions, performing well for climbing, running, and biking. It features a baggy mid-layer fit, durable stretch, and a large helmet-friendly hood, but it's heavier and not as warm or soft as traditional fleece when layered under lighter pieces.

Pros

  • +Weather resistant
  • +Good stretch
  • +Breathable
  • +Hood fits over helmet
  • +Zippered handwarmer pockets and interior chest pocket
  • +Durable for climbing
  • +Comfortable as outer layer

Cons

  • -Baggy fit as a mid-layer
  • -Heavier than many light mid-layer fleeces
  • -Less warmth/softness than classic R1 Hoody
  • -Less breathable than lighter fleeces
