R1 Hoody

By BW Ranked #770 - Men's Fleece Jackets September 28, 2010

You can take the "flash" out of the name, but you cant take the "flash" out of the hoody. without a doubt, the best technical fleece layer on the planet. every climbing trip ive ever been on, i see more people with this particular fleece (or past year model) more consistantly than any other piece of gear. it is a staple in the mountaineering world. the fit is trim, so it works awesome with layers and keeps the bulk to a minimum. Im 5'10'' 190 and a large fits great. the length is long so it goes down a little past the hips-great coverage. doesnt matter the activity, if its cold.. bring the R1 with you. a poly t, the R1, primaloft jacket, and a shell.. always on my body or in my pack. i own several fleece layers, but i will take this one over the rest every time. i might grab a different one if i need a fleece to pull double duty as casual and technical. of course they kept the balaclava hood with the 2011, which you will notice other companies are trying to mimic these days.. good luck beating this one..
