Great Jacket
Patagonia R3 Insulated Jacket - Men's
March 25, 2008
Well I grabbed this sucker when it was on sale and I am totally happy with my purchase. The day I got the fleece in the mail our University got smacked with a narly blizzard and R3 performed great in the elements right from the get-go. While it doesn't soak up water like a sponge, it is good for cold to very cold conditions. I have coupled this piece with my Patagonia down jacket and together I was warm in -20C weather. PROS: Lightweight and very warm. Wind doesn't get through the jacket, even in the sleeves. Looks good. Has a good functional pocket at the chest...good for cell phones and the like. CONS: It fits me perfect but I would have liked a drawstring around the bottom of the jacket to prevent the wind from sneaking up there when it gets crazy out (I have an older model, and I think they have fixed this problem in the newer version). I would have also liked a pocket on the inside of the jacket for a wallet/keys! OVERALL: Phenom jacket and I don't have regrets buying it whatsoever. Best uses would be for bombing around campus, around town, and heading out to the bars during the winter!
