Patagonia M's R1 Ultralight Hoody men's fleece

The Men's R1 Ultralight Hoody from Patagonia is a technical fleece designed as an essential layer for big-wall climbing and the most challenging multipitch routes. This ultralight piece combines the warmth of a technical fleece with the weight and breathability of a baselayer, thanks to a 100% recycled polyester double-knit fabric that offers exceptional comfort against the skin. The smooth outer surface is designed to provide high abrasion resistance against sharp rock while facilitating the layering of other garments without creating friction. The slim fit cut ensures total mobility and minimal bulk under the harness, while the unique single-panel sleeve construction eliminates shoulder seams to prevent irritation when wearing a backpack. The technical hood is shaped to comfortably slide under a helmet, providing immediate thermal protection when the wind picks up at a belay. For optimal thermoregulation, the deep central zip allows for quick release of excess heat and facilitates removal even in tight spaces or with fatigued arms. Completing the technical profile are two vertical zip chest pockets, ideal for keeping a topo, phone, or bars handy without interfering with gear, and low-profile cuffs that stay put on the forearms during the most physical moves. Made in Fair Trade Certified™ factories, this hoody is part of the Free Wall Kit, representing the pinnacle of technicality for climbers aiming for maximum performance without unnecessary weight.
