Patagonia M's R1 TechFace Hoody men's technical fleece

The R1® TechFace Hoody from Patagonia is a men's technical jacket with a hood, designed to provide the warmth and breathability of the renowned Regulator® fleece, with added abrasion and weather resistance for mountaineering and climbing. Made from a fabric composed of 90% recycled polyester and 10% spandex, this crosslayer features a smooth outer surface treated with a PFAS-free DWR finish, capable of repelling moisture and protecting against wind without trapping excess heat. The slim, articulated cut is specifically designed to accommodate broader movements, such as when reaching for a hold, while the elasticized hood with a laminated visor is adjustable and helmet-compatible to ensure maximum visibility and protection. The pocket configuration includes an external zippered chest pocket and two high handwarmer pockets, with mesh lining to promote ventilation, strategically positioned to remain accessible even when wearing a harness or backpack. The low-profile Variable Conditions cuffs prevent interference during climbing phases, and the hem is easily adjustable via an internal drawcord in the pockets, with integrated locks at the front for quick fit management. Weighing 403 grams, the garment uses bluesign® certified fabrics and is produced in a Fair Trade Certified™ facility. This fleece represents the perfect balance between softshell protection and thermal comfort, ideal for tackling the changing conditions of the mountain environment with a single dynamic and durable layer.
