PATAGONIA MEN'S R1 AIR FULL-ZIP HOODY | TECHNICAL FLEECE HOODIE

THE HOODED FLEECE THAT DOESN'T HOLD YOU BACK: PATAGONIA R1® AIR FULL-ZIP HOODY

When the mountain demands more and the thermometer drops, you need a garment that works with you, not against you. The Patagonia Men's R1® Air Full-Zip Hoody is the technical hooded fleece with a full zip that redefines what it means to be equipped for the cold: lightweight, compressible, ultra-quick drying, and made entirely from 100% recycled polyester. It is the most versatile and complete version of the R1® Air line, with the snug-fitting hood serving as the definitive argument for those who don't want compromises on the mountain.

WHY THE R1® AIR FULL-ZIP HOODY IS THE MOST COMPLETE MIDLAYER IN THE LINE

What sets the Full-Zip Hoody apart from the rest of the R1® Air family is not just the full zip or the hood itself, but the combination of both. The full-length zipper allows you to open and close the garment in seconds during ascents, without stopping or taking off your backpack. And the snug-fitting hood conforms to your head without slipping or blocking peripheral vision, fitting perfectly under a ski, bike, or climbing helmet without adding unnecessary bulk.

The result is a fleece that works just as well as a midlayer under a waterproof jacket for ski touring as it does as an outer layer on a chilly morning trail run or an afternoon of rock climbing. Few technical fleeces on the market offer this level of versatility at this weight.

EXPERT ADVICE

"The R1® Air Full-Zip Hoody is our recommendation for anyone looking for the most complete fleece in the R1® line. The full zip makes all the difference in high-intensity activities: you can vent instantly without stopping or taking anything off. The hood is one of the best-executed designs we've tested in its category: it moves with your head, doesn't block vision, and fits under a ski helmet without a fuss. If the Zip-Neck is the minimal weight option for layering, the Full-Zip Hoody is the maximum versatility option for any condition."

PATAGONIA GUARANTEE — "WE'RE IN BUSINESS TO SAVE OUR HOME PLANET"

Patagonia is not just a technical clothing brand. Founded in 1973 by climber and activist Yvon Chouinard, it is today one of the world's most committed companies to sustainability. A winner of the United Nations Champion of the Earth award in the Entrepreneurial Vision category, it has dedicated at least 1% of its annual sales to the preservation and restoration of the natural environment since 1986. In 2022, its founder transferred ownership of the company to a trust and a non-profit organization, with the goal of ensuring all profits are used to fight climate change.

The R1® Air Full-Zip Hoody reflects this philosophy in every detail: 100% recycled polyester jacquard fabric with bluesign® certification, made in a Fair Trade™ Certified factory in Sri Lanka. Patagonia's Worn Wear program also allows you to repair or renew your garment whenever you need to, closing the loop on disposable fashion. When you buy Patagonia, you aren't just equipping your adventure; you're funding the planet's.

HOW TO USE IT AND HOW TO CARE FOR IT

Recommended uses: ski touring, mountain hiking, rock and ice climbing, cold-weather trail running, mountaineering, winter mountain biking, or as a versatile midlayer under any windbreaker or waterproof jacket. The hood makes it especially useful in activities where the head needs extra protection without a dedicated helmet.

Layering system: combine it over a technical base layer and under a windproof or waterproof outer shell. The zigzag pattern of the R1® Air creates columns of warm air on both sides of the fabric: inside it retains body heat, outside it generates a second insulating layer under the shell. The result is thermal performance that far exceeds its weight.

Care:

• Machine wash warm (30 °C)
• Do not use bleach or fabric softener (reduces the fabric's breathability)
• Tumble dry at low temperature
• Iron at low temperature if necessary
• Do not dry clean

SIZE GUIDE

The R1® Air Full-Zip Hoody has a slim fit: close to the body, designed for layering. If you are between sizes or prefer to wear it primarily as an outer layer with more range of motion, size up. For use primarily as a midlayer under a shell, choose your usual size.
