Form-fitting and very toasty - great jacket!

By NickG Ranked #1202 - Men's Fleece Jackets November 27, 2006

This is the coziest, most comfortable jacket I've ever worn. I'm a slim 6' 5" and the XL fits me perfectly. I've been out all day in 35 degree weather with 25 mph winds, and this jacket kept my core warm and toasty. It's just a bit stretchy, completely windproof, and very breathable - never clammy like my old Windstopper fleece. And it's pretty darn stylish, too - not too "techy" like some other fleece jackets.

The quality and detailing are what I've come to expect from Patagonia. I've been looking for a windproof jacket with decent insulating qualities for quite some time. I looked at every soft shell on the market, then tried out a Marmot Gravity soft shell, but returned it due to the boxy fit and lack of insulation.

The R4 is exactly what I was looking for. I probably wouldn't have coughed up $215 for one, but I didn't have to. I'm an extremely happy customer.
