R4 Light in Iraq

Ranked #176 - Men's Fleece Jackets
July 8, 2008
I am a loyal fan of the original R4, but could never take advantage of wearing it in layers. I bought the R4 Light (black) to take on deployments to Iraq and to wear under my digital uniform during the cold, wet Iraqi winters. It fit beautifully, unzipped fully when needed and even when washed under military conditions, came out softer and even better than the first wearing. For warmth without the bulk - this is a real find!
