Great all around mid layer

By Babak Sakaki Ranked #42 - Men's Fleece Jackets October 30, 2011

The R2 is an incredibly warm, durable and versatile fleece that takes "fleece" to an entirely new level. This isn't really the best thing to wear as outerwear in cold, windy conditions, unless you are doing some extremely high exertion activities (touring, running, XC skiing).This is an incredibly breathable mid layer that provides a perfect amount of warmth under a shell while skiing. With a lightweight long sleeve, R2 and shell, I can ski comfortable in most conditions the Rockies dish out. Below zero, you are going to want some form of down or synthetic insulation.

In terms of breathability compared to other products I've used, it would be :

Pat. Down Hoody< Pat. Nano Puff
