Patagonia Men's R2 Jacket
The new R2 Jacket is our most versatile insulation lightweight, compressible and warm without excess bulk for mountain pursuits.

The stretchy and improved variegated-fiber fabric, now with a matte finish and greater warmth, has superb breathability and compressibility, along with minimal weight. Stretchy R1 (now made with recycled polyester) inside the collar and cuffs enhances skin comfort, and the pliable R2 body fabric affords unrestrained movement.

The perfect weight
This jacket is exceptional. It's amazingly warm for a light jacket. On 45 degree days I'll wear it over a t-shirt if there isn't too much wind and be totally comfortable. It's slim enough to fit under a jacket and packs well. The cut is athletic but it wears just slightly short on me (the large), but is otherwise true to size. Highly recommended.

wonderful
I use it indoors in our cool house as a sweater. I used it under my ski jacket in 0 to 10 degree weather and was warm. Love it

Pretty much flawless
First off, it's fantastic. When I first got it, I was worried about how warm it was going to be because it is SO light, but it turns out it's quite warm. The R2 fabric's fantastically fluffy. The sleeves are sleek and long (I have gorilla arms), so they slip into other jackets and shells well. Get it, you'll be warm and look like a stud.
