Very Nice
Not only is it warm, but one of the most breathable lightweight jackets on the market. The newly added R1 fleece combined with the high-loft R2 just blows me away, so much better than the old model. It is so light, you might forget you are wearing it, if it weren't for how warm it is. Just be warned, this jacket is not intended for winds by itself, so make sure you have a shell over, just like most fleece jackets the wind will go right through it. But thats because of the breathability, with the r4 you might over heat. I would definitely recommend this jacket.

Extremely satisfied
I've been a believer in Patagonia outer wear for some time. All of my fly fishing gear is by Patagonia. The R2 jacket meets and or exceeds my expectations. Light weight, very warm and very functional. For the price in active outer wear, I would highly recommend to anyone.
