Let's put it this way, I've snagged three of them on sale over the years. It's a great windbreaker/fleece for warmth on fall days. Because it's windproof it's fine on most warmer winter days. It's great for a mid-layer on boarding days in harsh conditions. The softer texture inside makes it super comfy, the finish on t... Read Morehe outside doesn't make it looks schlubby. Fit is great too. I'm 6', 210 lbs (bit on chubby side) and it's flattering too. Just buy one.
I have been wearing capeline and regulator layers for many years. Nothing compares! Standing in frigid waters all day you need the best. Patagonia is the best.
This is my go to item in almost all weather conditions. Warm when you need it especially if I layer with another shell. Seems to be very rain and wind resistant even when wearing without a shell. Best fit I could ask for.
This jacket can be used in any number ways. When it's s little cooler out, this can be your go to jacket. If you need a slightly heavier layering piece, this jacket can handle the task. It's got all the pockets you need; phone, wallet, whatever. I definitely recommend this jacket.
Great fit, a bit long for general wear but great when using in winter gear to stay tucked in and the high pockets are easily accessible.
For layering size down (M) for me. If wearing around town I would get a size large. Im 5 ft 9 in 185lbs Athletic Build
The R2 is a perfect combination between weight and warmth for 90% of situations. The jacket is very breathable and has a water-resistant coating so it's good for light rain as well.

I'm 6'1", 190lbs with long arms and it's always hard to find something that fits me just right but this is it. Perfect for hiking/backpacking as an outer layer or to layer up under a jacket. But it's really warm. Used it hiking in 35 degrees in Yosemite and it was perfect. Use it for around the house and going surfing. This... Read More might just be the perfect zip up I've ever got along with my Nano Puff which is right up there too.
Typically wear an XL but had to size down as I want this jacket to be relatively tighter and more exacting for layering on my work shirt and a further layer over my R1 half zip. Well built of course and good attention to detail as it relates to cuffs that you pull at to undress. A great worthwhile buy!
This is a great product. It is very comfortable and great to wear when you need to be warm but not so bundled up you cannot move. This works in all 'cool' weather! Great for golf, great for walking, great for work...I fell asleep in this and it was very comfortable. I bought two because they were THAT comfortable.
The R2 was my gateway drug to Patagonia circa 2008. I wore that iteration nearly every day (save summer) until I could see through the fleece. The next iteration I owned was the super form-fitting "light" 2012 model. It was great for performance, but definitely not casual. I recently retired that one, but with this iteration, the pendulum... Read More swung too far the other way. It's missing the raglan sleeve and, as other reviewers noted, it's oddly boxy in the chest / arm pits / biceps and tight in the collar / forearms / and waist. Otherwise, the TechFace fabric is awesome and the length is perfect. Instead of the R2, I went with an R1 and sport a vest or a shell when the weather calls for it. The gauge in the fabric is minor between the two and the fit of the R1 is more performance-oriented.
Thanks for your feedback Jared, and the opportunity to improve on design. This jacket has a slim fit, so it's interesting to hear that you experienced a boxy fit in the chest area, we'll make sure to let our team know about this. If you're ever looking for past iterations of products, we recommend checking out [Worn Wear](https://wornwear.patagonia.com/shop/search?q=techface)! You can find lightly used past season versions of your favorite items, and it looks like we have quite a few of the TechFace posted at this time.

Perfect piece
I cant say enough good things about this piece. I love that I use the same jacket for so many activities. Its great for my fishing kit. I love it for riding my MTB as it offers just the slightest extra length. I mostly use it as a mid layer for my snowboarding kit. I love this thing so much that I have two now. I have read some other reviews about ... Read Morethe length being too long and or the collar being too big. Please never change anything about this piece.

This fleece has the widest comfort range of any jacket I own. A long cut, below the waist adds comfort. Breaths very well under excursion but still has the ability to block a light breeze.

I love Patagonia, my old R2 jacket had thumb holes and it was an everyday jacket for 10yrs! When it got to cold it was a base layer. This new jacket is awesome but I beg of you Patagonia please bring back the thumb holes on the R2 jacket!!!!!!! Please!!!!!
I love this jacket as my go to casual option. Its just the right amount of protection and serves really well as a mid layer. It is a very presentable jacket too!

Versatile Mid Layer
The jacket works well as a mid layer under a shell as well as an outer layer while exercising. I like the longer arm length and the extra torso length when backcountry skiing. It would be nice if the neck was a bit smaller in circumference like my Icebreaker wool sweater to keep out a bit more of the cold.
Over the years I have moved away from fleece except for my base layer. Primaloft and the like is warmer per ounce and more compressible. For a typical day of downhill skiing or ice climbing I use Polartec Powerstretch as my base layer. It is considered a heavyweight base layer and when I am moving uphill I can wear it by itself. Two years ago I got... Read More a Polartec Alpha layer and loved it but feel the material isn't very durable and sheds material. I've also been doing more uphill and decided to move to a light weight merino base layer so I can better regulate my temperature. I find for uphill using the light weight base layer allows me to keep my soft shell jacket on, which cuts the wind and holds enough heat to keep me comfortable while keeping up with breathability so I don't sweat out- the bane of winter sports. I needed something to wear over my base layer for warmth but that was more durable and had better face material than Polartec Alpha.
That's is where this jacket shines. The techface protects the fleece and slides under layers. It wears like a super breathable soft shell. It adds warmth when I need it and is easy to take off when I don't. People say it has a DWR and handles light precipitation, but I wouldn't trust it in this role beyond shedding some snow falling off branches while you are hiking. It's an awesome layer to wear over a lightweight base layer when you need warmth. You can wear it as a warm and breathable outer later but I would always bring a shell to go over it if any precipitation or wind is possible. I get the feeling this is going to be a new a new staple for me! Strong work Patagonia.
I really wanted to like this piece, but it fell just a tad short. As an "R2", I thought this would be a warm insulation layer, but didn't find it much warmer than my R1 pieces. The sleeves were a nice length and fit snugly, so I thought this would be a nice piece to have at the crag. But afternoons in the 50s I longed for just a litt... Read Morele more warmth.
I found the length to be this jacket's biggest shortcoming. It didn't layer well with my Nano Puff Jacket, sticking out about 2" below it. It also didn't work well when wearing a harness as the side pocket zippers got trapped by the waist belt. Also, the lower portion of the jacket has a tendency to roll up an make a little 'paunch' at my belt buckle. Overall I just didn't feel 'at home' in the piece and sent it back.
We're very sorry that the R2 missed the mark for you, and we really value your detailed feedback. We hope you'll find our Spring 2023 product more fitting for your purposes. Thanks so much for taking the time to review the jacket, Evan!

So versatile
This is a great jacket. Its warm, low bulk, and sheds light precipitation. Its become my cold weather go to. Add a shell, and its an all weather set up. I love it. A lot.
If you want the perfect lightweight jacket -- this is it. You can wear it anywhere and it looks great and has the right amount of warmth. I mainly use it when I play golf.
Excellent mid or outer layer. Runs VERY large so I had to return a large, which I usually wear, for a medium. It wasn't even close. But my medium fits perfectly.
I've owned this jacket for two years now and it is perfect for me. I use it when instructing climbing, navigation and leading groups in the UK hills.
It's warm, windproof and very soft.
Absolutely epic jacket.
Wish I had 2 so I can still wear one on laundry days.
Hesitated between the M and L since it's a bit longer than other Patagonia L cloth I have, went for L, no regret, I wear it all the time, around the house, for hiking, soon for skiing.
As true as "a jacket needs to be multifunctional" as it gets.
I have many Patagonia jackets from goose down to better sweater. I used to order extra small and the chest pocket big enough for my iPhone pro max, but this jacket for size small the pocket is too small but I bought it anyway because is very comfortable. I tried different fleece jackets at the store a few days ago and for size small the chest pocke... Read Moret needs bigger like it used to. For Large size the picket is big enough.
Please consider to make chest pocket bigger even for small size enough to put the bigger phone. Thank you.
At 74 years of age my body has changed, mostly around the waist. I've warn your products from the beginning of time and was always a medium.
The last 10 years my body has changed and I now require an XL to get around my middle. Everything else is to big, please consider everyone is Not 6 foot 4 inches and 150 lbs.
Love the jacket ... just needs a 'tweak' in sizing
OK Patagonia - I have tried BOTH your R1 & R2 Techface jkts. Love them both! EXCEPT :-( ....
for me (5-5 / 140#) BOTH had some weird sizing issues. The R1 fit everywhere EXCEPT in the shoulder/ underarm area (cut up into my pits)

Versatile and comfortable
The black one works even in formal settings with khakis and a button up. Fit is great for 5 foot 7, 150 lb athletic build. Plan to use under my snow shell on the slopes on cold days. Very warm and comfortable.
R2® TechFace Jacket is pretty nice! It's great to the touch and fits around the chest well. I can (almost...) see me going to this daily, if it were not for the long torso. It's just too long for my preference. I'm ever so slightly disappointed but otherwise it's a keeper!
Im so old I owned the first generation of Patagonia/The Great Pacific Iron Works fleeces. When I worked for an outfitter I bought/owned 2 of the first generation R2 fleeces.

I have had this jacket for about 2 years, and it is the jacket I reach for most often from October through April here in PNW. The combination of smooth outer surface and inner fleece is perfect.

I've worn it to about 30 degrees with a long sleeve t-shit under and it has kept me warm while walking/hiking. Its probably too warm above 50 degrees. The jacket sheds light rain well, blocks wind and is very breathable. It can't withstand a downpour but dries quickly. Some notes about fit (I'm about 6'1, 165 lbs) - I'd say this jacket runs larger than most mediums from patagonia (ex better sweater). It is longer, which is great for my height. I think arm length is perfect as is height of the collar. I use it as an everyday jacket in fall, winter and early spring, as well as for hiking. Overall, excellent job with this jacket, I wouldn't change anything. My only suggestion is a vest version!
This is my new favorite jacket! It can be worn in most types of weather as it is surprisingly warm while providing optimal function. The quality is impeccable. The pockets are excellent. The interior is soft and incredibly comfortable.

Thank you.
This is a exceptionally versatile jacket. I bought it in NY during a cold snap with wind. I quickly realized I could stow all other layers as it seemed comfortable in 20kt winds at 40deg. Perfect jacket to move quickly and to layer.
This was recommended by the salesman in the store and it was my best purchase. This was my go to fleece for the entire trip, warm when it needed to be and cooler and just needed a layer. I continue to wear it after the trip on hikes around the north east.
Slightly heavier than an R 1 techface and super comfy. Can be warm as a mid layer or cool weather outer layer. Comfy piece at work too. Very versatile!
I love this jacket. Its very breathable under a shell when I am riding but also its warm too. Pockets are roomy and well positioned. It looks good when used as a casual jacket. And best of all its super comfortable.
I am 6 feet tall and about 165-170 lbs. I ordered a large...it was way too big. The medium is PUURfect. This thing is outstanding. Super soft and cozy lining with a nice exterior.

versatile fleece - great for layering but good on its own as well. I'm 5'10" and 155 lbs and normally wear a medium in patagonia (and any other company) but medium was too loose and this fit perfectly in a small size.
This could be the most versatile fleece ever. It blocks wind really effectively and is super warm for its weight. It also breaths well. Super comfortable. Durable. Great collar great fit. Great cuffs that you can easily pull up your forearms when needed. I have one in three colors. I absolutely love this thing.

Very happy with the jacket
I didn't go to the local Patagonia store for this item, I came across it while trying on other pieces. I am glad this was mentioned to me by one of the employees. This is my second Patagonia purchase.
This is very good jacket. By coincidence the first night I wore it the temps were in the high 40's to low 50's with quite a bit of w... Read Moreind and some decent light rain. It held up really well while I was walking to and from a theater.
I have taken this on bike rides in similar temps, including mid to low 40's and windy conditions. It's adequate in these temperatures but you would probably need something warmer, especially while riding.
I love all of the pockets. The chest pocket is solid and can hold my iPhone 11. The pockets zip easily and I'm a fan of the two inner pockets to hold gloves or other items.
The jacket is comfortable and I like the feel of the grid lining. I'd say it's about medium weight. It isn't too light but it certainly isn't heavy. When zipped all the way up, the collar provides fairly good protection and warmth.
I bought a size Large because I like to layer but I will say that I do wonder if I could have worn a Medium. I only tried on the Large. For reference, I am 5'7 about 150 lbs, 33 waist, and pretty trim. The jacket is on the longish side and does have some room to spare. I don't think it is too big but I definitely know some people like a trimmer fit. The sleeve length is fine. If I stretch my fingers all the way out the sleeves come down almost to the tips but the sleeves aren't baggy at all. My arms are skinny and to me the sleeves are fine. If you have similar measurements to me and can try them on in the store, a Medium might be a better fit for you. But as I said, I didn't try one on. This is just how the Large itself fits.
The R2 is an excellent autumn jacket. I can wear it on long walks, bike rides, to work, and around town. This was a good investment because I know I will have this for several years.
A perfect jacket for cooler California weather for everything. Also plan to wear it under my shell and over an R1 Zipneck this winter. Very stretchy. I bought the blue/grey one w/ the orange patch, looks great
I had purchased this jacket a few years ago and it was starting to look its age. I pretty much wear it daily through 3 seasons as both outerwear and a liner.

I did indeed find it larger than expected, as most Patagonia mediums fit me perfectly. However, it layers comfortably under the jacket and looks good on its own. T... Read Morehe sleeves fall about on my knuckles (I wear 32/33 LS shirts), and the hem runs about 7" below my waistline, a little below my hipbones. Overall, good fit and finish and I am happy with the purchase.
Fantastic mid layer. perfect in every way. warm and cuts the wind but light and looks great. 6'5" 245lbs with long monkey arms and XL fits perfect. thank God for this one Patagonia!!
This is an amazing garment. I use it for early morning hikes when its too cold for just a baselayer or a light midlayer. Its warm but breathes well. It is completely water repellent as well.
Vestibilità perfetta; la tasca sul petto mi serve per avere il mio iPhone sempre a portata di mano, uso spesso un’applicazione topografica e scatto foto all’ambiente e ai miei clienti in montagna. Il tessuto sembra molto robusto esteriormente; il capo copre bene la schiena anche se mi piego in avanti. Sonno molto soddisfatto!!!
I got this as a gift and wondered if the medium would be long enough for my arms. I am 6'2" and usually wear a large. This jacket fits perfect and I am wearing it most days.
I wear this over my base layer when cycling in the winter, it's kept me warm and effectively blocked the wind. It's very well made, I'm very happy with it.
I bought the R1 techface and fell in love the R2 is even better! Twice as warm only need a base layer under to stay toasty! Im a longtime patagonia lover and this is my top 5 favorite jackets Ive purchased inching closer to number 1 every wear
I've had this jacket for about a year and a half now. I've put it through the wringer: Taken it to the mountains in Peru and New Zealand, salt deserts in South America, dry climates in Utah and wet and unpredictable New England. I also live in Chicago, so it gets a lot of cold and foul-weather use.
Performance-wise, it's become my g... Read Moreo-to for just about anything where the weather isn't TOTALLY awful.
- Best midlayer I've ever had. Pair it with the proper base and outer and you're set for almost anything.
- Warm enough as an around-town jacket down to about the mid 30's.
- Great as an outer with the proper wool baselayer for hiking in milder temps.
- Excellent wind protection.
- Fleece feels great on bare skin.
- Highly durable. I've worn it in every condition imaginable and stuffed it in the smallest nooks and it comes out looking new.
- Good moisture-resistance, though not totally waterproof.
- Breathability isn't the BEST, but it's better than I expected and haven't had any real issues there.
- Looks great with proper sizing, a bit technical looking but I find it a slim-fit and stylish enough for casual wear.
Only thing(s) I don't like were fit-related and therefore highly subjective. The sleeves were long for me, I had them altered to correct this. Also the waist area is on the tight side, but it's flexible enough that this isn't much of an issue.
I'm hard on my gear in my work and play, and this one earned it's first-choice piece status from me. Couldn't go wrong!
material feels so bad. I bought it for my son, it was too small for him.
I returned it. It looked very nice on
your website, and very bad in reality. Bad quality, artificial, glassy feeling material, did not like anything about this jacket

Bought 2nd one for husband since he loved the first one so much
R2 jackets are amazing. Our whole family lives in them. We use them fir casual wear, work, climbing, hiking, skiing, running. Very comfortable. Wear it alone or fits well over a base layer and under warm down jacket. Perfect!
This jacket had a fleece lining I didn't anticipate. It is much warmer than my first one. I'm not sure if I prefer the jacket or the hoody but that is a personal problem. Great jacket!
Im 511/175 and fit is excellent. Although longer than I prefer, the hem keeps that in check nicely. Length is there if I need it.
Nice sleeve length and great cuffs. Good array of well-placed and size pockets. Hugs my body to keep in warmth but has excellent stretch and does not feel binding at all. I am a fan of the cozy fleece interior and the sm... Read Moreoother technical exterior. I have a Patagonia R Jacket from the 90s (USA made) that is still in good condition and has proven durability as did all the Patagonia I purchased in that era. This jacket is warmer and better fitting and hopefully retains some of that durability from earlier pieces. Ive worn quite a bit this past year and so far so good. Was glad to have as a mid layer on a few cold nights in the Alpine Lakes wilderness of the Cascades earlier this year
I used, and still use, my 14 year old R2 pullover primarily for cold weather running. Also as a mid-layer for downhill skiing. My old R2 is showing its age so thought it was time to add a new one to the fleet. I'm 5'7 and weigh 150 and have always worn size M Patagonia clothing. After reading reviews indicating how large this jacket runs ... Read MoreI decided to go with a size S and I'm glad I did. It is just about a perfect fit. It's a little snug in the armpits area but otherwise fine. Sleeves on the long side but not too long. The length of the jacket itself is fairly long, more so than my pullover but this is not a problem. Should be a benefit if real windy I imagine. It does seem to block wind a little better than my old one. Very pleased with the warmth for sure. I haven't yet worn it in the rain to check the water repellency. I am enjoying the full length zipper and all the pockets. Bottom line - this is a great addition to the line-up and will receive a lot of use. No question that a size M would have been way too big.
I got this jacket primarily to use as a mid layer for alpine climbing and as a mid layer/shell for XC skiing. Im based in Detroit, and weve gotten a little bit of snow up state the past couple weeks to be able to start skiing and really get to test this thing out. Its pretty close to perfect so far.
For cross country skiing in ~25 degree weather w... Read Moreith moderate wind, I wore this as my shell over a lighter weight fleece (a competitors light weight 1/2 zip grid fleece) and a lightweight base layer. It performed exceptionally well, repelling light snow and sleet as well as protecting from the wind while remaining breathable enough to keep from sweating.
Ive used the jacket to walk my dogs several times down to 20-30F with just a capilene air hoody underneath and I have been extremely impressed. I really cannot say enough good things about it: it works amazingly as a shell for wind and light precip, even keeping me dry during a fairly steady snow for ~an hour of walking the pups, works PERFECTLY as a mid layer under a gore-Tex shell, and the lofted interior fleece is amazing for insulation and comfort.
This in combination with my gore-tex shell will almost certainly be my go to for alpine starts during spring/summer climbing, as it regulates perfectly without being too much and stretches/flexes quite well. Im really excited about the possibilities!
Very pleased with the R2 Tech. I use it mainly for mountain biking and hiking. Does a decent job of blocking the wind while still being very breathable. On very cold days on the bike I layer and combine it with the dirt roamer MTB jacket. Perfect combination. Totally worth the price.
Love the jacket it is very fashionable, everyone asked about it and it is very cozy and warm, love to use it as a base liner, but sometimes wear it over a base liner. Love it
I got the R2 Tech Face to fill the role of a standalone technical fleece for higher exertion activities and it performs very well. I usually opt for having a hood but it's very form fitting and not helmet compatible. The collar is a tad bit on the longer side but it's nice for when the wind picks up. My only gripe with this jacket is that... Read More the collar is a little wonky in the sense that it doesn't lay flat when I'm wearing it around town or at work.
Other than that minor complaint, this is a bomber piece that has become my go to piece for early morning climbs and a great mid layer when layering for colder climates!
I own a lot of Patagonia gear so I have my size locked in. When I read the reviews that this garment was running long I didnt worry about it as its a jacket and I plannned to wear it underneath my Patagonia Parka which is also a large. Nope. It hung below the hem line of my ski parka. Otherwise it fit great but this would be better labeled as a tal... Read Morel product. I am good with Patagonia updating styles etc but I am bought into buying their great products that last forever and if the styles are not compatible over the years it seems to be counter productive to all of their efforts to be more environmentally friendly.
My into to Patagonia fleece was their R1 quarter zip which is for the most part comfortable except for additional awkward shifting of the sleeves to align the sleeves to a preferred comfort level. The R2 Tech face does not have this issue. The R2 Techface is my go-to preferred cool/chilly weather fleece that fits in just as well in the office as it... Read More does on the hiking trails of Ojai. I can confidently recommend this jacket as well worth the price. There's 2 improvements I"d recommend. First, at least 1 interior pocket with a zipper and thicker material. Second, a zippered collar with a thin material hoodie inside. These are quality of life features that would improve an already excellent product.
R2 l'ho trovato polivalente. utilizzabile in estate per proteggersi dalle brezzoline sopra una T-Shirt e in inverno, associato a Capilene® Air Crew garantisce il confort termico. Buona resistenza all'usura (se per necessità dovete maltrattarlo!).
I really like the r2- its packable and looks great - I like a slimmer cut and it defiantly has a nice formed shape- Im 5-11 and 170 lbs ( I got a medium) - but be warned - the R2 is warm!!! Its almost to warm for fall or spring - I wear it on 60 degree days with just a t shirt under it and I am roasting! I really should switch to the R1 but the one... Read More I tied on didnt fit as nice.
Excellent jacket, size down- sleeves are really long.
Got this jacket in time for chilly weather. It is very light, warm and repels enough moisture in light rain with my experience. It should make a great mid layer for even colder weather since it is not bulky. So far I have just used it as an outer layer over a T-shirt with temps in the high 40's / low 50's and light wind and rain and it is... Read More plenty warm. The grid pattern fleece is super soft against the skin and the jacket stretches and allows for easy movement. The sizing is a bit odd. I initially ordered a size Small since that is my usual size in Patagonia and other comparable brands. However, I ended up exchanging for an XS because though the body fit okay with the Small, the sleeves were VERY long and baggy in the upper arms. Even though it says "slim fit" I recommend going a size down for this jacket. Luckily Patagonia makes the exchange process easy. Overall really happy with the product and hope to be using it for years.
The material on this jacket is exactly what I have been looking for but it doesn't fit well at all. I wear a medium in all the Patagonia gear I own (10+ items) and the fit is usually very good. This jacket has freakishly long arms (my arms are anything but short) and was really loose all over for the size. Was unable to try on in store so went... Read More with usual sizing. Sadly I had to return but will try again with one size smaller and see if that works out.
This is the perfect layer for cool coastal winter days. I was searching high and low for a lightweight layer that could keep the damp chill of coastal Southern California winters off me and this jacket has surpassed my expectations. As a stand-alone outer, I would say that the jacket’s ideal temperature range is from the high 40s up into the low 60... Read Mores. It keeps you warm and dry in moderate wind and misting rain, as well.
This jacket is a go-to for hiking under 40 degrees, casual wear, travel, and ice climbing. This and the R1 jacket were fantastic pieces for a September trip to Iceland with weather that varied with the hour. However, the fit of the sleeves is weirdly puffy around the biceps, and a bit bunched around the armpits. It’s especially odd given the fitted... Read More contour of the lower arms. Not a dealbreaker for me, but doesn’t have as sleek an appearance as I’d like out of a fitted jacket.
I’ve been using this jacket for hiking and climbing around 30-45 degrees and while skiing under a shell 30 and lower. It’s got just the right mix of breathability, wind blocking, and warmth to keep me comfortable when steaming uphill but not freezing on the downhill leg. Really appreciate the stretch and semi-soft shell hard face, both of which mak... Read Moree this a more usable jacket than a standard R2. However, it’s got a very tall collar that doesn’t lie down very readily, and it’s quite long - hip length, not waist length. The hoody version has a very close-fitting, scuba-style hood that covers your chin, so it also is wonky in the collar department. I tried both and settled on the jacket. All that said, it’s such a good winter hiking piece I can forgive some idiosyncrasies.
Molto caldo ma vestibilità un po' difficile. La taglia S quasi aderente mentre la taglia M troppo abbondante. Il tessuto esterno è ottimo permette di indossare l'ultimo strato facendolo scivolare .
Gentile Alessandro,
Grazie per il suoi commenti del nostro prodotto! Ci spiace il problema avuto con la taglia. Le misure sono standardizzate dopo di provare il prodotto e la vestibilità prima di essere lanciato.
Comunque se non è contento con nessuna taglia, le chiedo gentilmente di scrivere al Servizio Cliente a directsales.europe@patagonia.com per potere aiutarlo a trovare una soluzione :)

So far so amazing
I am pretty tough on my fleece and demand a lot from my layering systems. As a river guide I work in a lot of conditions and need my layers to be light, warm, breathable and comfy. The R2 totally delivers. From Maine in January to Panamanian rain forest this layer has kept me warm, well regulated and fits in on just about any adventure.
ottimo prodotto, traspirante, caldo e comodo.
Ho provato dapprima la taglia M e ho rimandato indietro il prodotto perchè troppo grande, ora ho una taglia S che però mi sembra leggermente stretta, nel mio caso c'è troppa differenza tra le due misure. Il colore azzurro è bellissimo!
I've done 4 UTMB with similar products from Patagonia and this new one has already kept me warm and safe in the mountains when I trail run. It's not the most breathable or packable but it's warm and soft. It makes me feel safe.
