Patagonia M's R1 TechFace Jkt technical fleece jacket men

The R1® TechFace Jacket by Patagonia is a men's technical jacket without a hood, ideal as a mid-layer or outer layer for mountaineering and climbing in variable weather conditions. Made from a fabric composed of 90% recycled polyester and 10% spandex, this jacket offers the warmth and breathability typical of Regulator® fleece but with a smooth and robust outer surface that resists abrasion. The PFAS-free DWR water-repellent treatment ensures protection from moisture and wind, while the inner side remains soft and comfortable against the skin without retaining excess heat during physical exertion. The slim and articulated cut design is tailored to accommodate broader athletic movements, ensuring maximum freedom when reaching for a hold or maneuvering ropes. The jacket features two high handwarmer pockets with mesh lining to promote ventilation, strategically positioned to be compatible with harnesses and backpack belts. The low-profile Variable Conditions cuffs reduce bulk at the wrists, and the hem is easily adjustable via an internal drawcord in the pockets with front locks for quick closure. Weighing only 337 grams, the garment uses bluesign® certified materials and is produced in a Fair Trade Certified™ facility, confirming the brand's ethical commitment to workers. This jacket version represents the perfect solution for those seeking dynamic, lightweight, and compressible protection to tackle high-altitude challenges.
