No Pulling th R1 over my eyes on this one...

By Pete LaBore Ranked #1077 - Men's Fleece Jackets February 14, 2010

I've got a R1 pullover that has been my go to fleece for a while. I thought I'd try another version with the hood. This is not your typical hoody, it's definitely more of a balaclava. At first I didn't like it, but it's become my favorite for winter trail runs. I'll wear a base merino layer and the hoody and be plenty warm. On cold days, I can zip up the hoody for starters over a thin hat. As I warm up, it's easy to take the hood down adn the deep zip let me cool down even more. The thumb holes also keep the sleeves nice and snug.

I'm 5 ft 11'ish, and the medium fits me snug, snug in a good way.

Pros:
-Toasty warm
-Thumb loops
-Hood (balaclava)
-Typical Patagonia high quality
-Snug fit
-Chest pocket
-Hoody is not a typical hoody, more a performance hood that is meant to be used
-Long tail, keeps my bum warm..

Cons:
-If you're lookign for a casual hoody, this ain't it
