The Patagonia R1 TechFace full-zip fleece is a lightweight, technical model with a regular fit, designed for outdoor activities and variable conditions. Made from a double-weave fabric (90% recycled polyester / 10% elastane), it is soft on the inside, breathable, and yet flexible. The smooth outer layer increases abrasion resistance, and the PFAS-free DWR finish protects against light moisture.
The fitted, athletic cut with a full zip and anatomical construction ensures freedom of movement. The model features two high-set side pockets with mesh lining, compatible with a harness and backpack. Low-profile cuffs improve comfort during activity, and an adjustable drawcord hem (operated from the pockets) allows for a better fit to the body and conditions. The product was manufactured in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, and its weight is 337 g.
