The R4 should be a lot warmer, warmer than a TNF 300-rated classic fleece fabric. The R4 will be a bit heavier than the Windwall as well.

it is a longer pile (fuzzier), has a different poket configuration, and lacks the re-inforcments. I have worn a backpack with my R4 several times and have not had any noticeable wear related to that...however it could happen overtime. My oppinion both will block the wind equally well, and which type of material you like is just preference. The R4 may tend to capture more snow and water because of the longer pile, where the TNF may shed a bit more.Aaron hit it right on the head! The Windwall isnt as warm either...it is a 200 weight fleece vs the R4 300 weight. The Windwall 2 is slightly lighter and the fleece in the windwall 2 isnt nearly as warm as the polartec in the r4. But the R4 is also a 100 more...depends what you are looking for.
