R1 is #1

By Ty Nelson Ranked #2 - Men's Fleece Jackets May 2, 2009

This is a jacket that you can use practically year round no matter where you live and no matter what you do. It's my mid layer in the winter, around the house/town jacket all the time, and my go to jacket for chilly summer nights. The open grid on the inside of the fleece makes it very versatile for keeping you warm when you need it to, and cooling you off as well by moving the air through the grid and out the fleece. It dries incredibly quickly too, you can drop water on it and watch the fabric move the water out across the surface and dry right in front of your eyes. It doesn't protect against the wind that well, but
layer a Patagonia Houdini or Alpine Wind Jacket over your R1 and you're good to go for all but the chilliest outings.

Everyone I know who owns one has it at the top of their list of favorite clothing. Plus you can't go wrong with Patagonia's warranty and environmental ethics as well.
