I was excited about the improved pocket placement on this new R4, until I discovered there is NO waist adjustment cord on this version...
Can someone who has actually worn this version explain why they got rid of the clinch cord on a windproof fleece? Does it have a slim waist fit design?

kris, thanks for your answer. I confirmed the lack of cinch cord on hem and lack of elastic bands on wrist with Patagonia rep. I don't see how this new version of R4 can trap any heat. Thought this purchase would be a no brainer, but guess I'll have to check it out at the local store when they stock it.

it does have a slim waist line and it fairly stretchy actual. though i will say this it is tough to size right. the large was right for me in the chest and left enough room for a cap base layer underneath but was not as tight as i would have liked at the waist, and the medium was perfect at the waist but no quite roomy enough for me as i wanted to be able to wear something underneath if i had to. i went with the large and figured i would deal with a little draft if it came up, but over all im happy with it, the stretch is decent enough for me, though a cinch would have been better
