    Tyler Silvestri's review

    From alpine starts to fast-paced ridge hikes, the R1 Air Jacket is our go-to for breathable warmth that doesn’t quit. Patagonia crafted this piece using 100% recycled polyester jacquard fleece with hollow-core yarns, creating a grid-like texture that actively moves moisture and air while trapping just enough heat. Whether we’re pushing uphill or transitioning at the summit, it manages sweat and warmth better than traditional fleece. The slim fit layers cleanly under a shell or down jacket, and the off-shoulder seams reduce friction when we’re wearing a pack. Bluesign-approved and sewn in a Fair Trade Certified facility, the R1 Air Jacket is our answer for fast, cold missions where breathability is just as important as insulation.
