PATAGONIA M'S R1 AIR CREW | BREATHABLE TECHNICAL FLEECE
THE TECHNICAL FLEECE THAT BREATHES WITH YOU: PATAGONIA M'S R1 AIR CREW
When the cold bites but your body won't stop, you need a layer that knows how to manage both at the same time. The Patagonia M's R1 Air Crew is exactly that: Patagonia's most breathable fleece, constructed with hollow-core yarns in a zigzag pattern to retain the heat you need and evacuate the heat you don't. Lightweight, compressible, with a crew neck and a straight fit—and made from 100% recycled polyester. The midlayer you won't want to take off.
THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE FABRIC: HOLLOW-CORE YARNS AND ZIGZAG JACQUARD
The R1 Air is not a conventional fleece. Its point of difference is in the fabric: at an almost microscopic level, the R1 Air is built with hollow-core yarns. Inside every strand of polyester is a small air chamber. Still air creates an insulating cushion that contributes to the fabric's warmth, increasing the volume of the fleece while reducing the garment's weight.
Added to this is the zigzag jacquard knit pattern: the zigzag weave with hollow-core yarns traps body heat effectively, making it one of the warmest technical fleeces in its active category, while its open valleys maximize airflow to vent excess heat during exertion. The practical result: it keeps you warm during stops and cool during moments of highest intensity.
At 193 g/m² and a total weight of only 278 g, the R1 Air Crew is a layer you barely notice in your pack—until you need it.

EXPERT ADVICE
"The R1 Air Crew is the layer that always goes in the pack. It weighs next to nothing, goes on in seconds, and manages heat better than any other fleece at this weight. On windy days or during stops after an intense session, it makes all the difference. Once you use it in real conditions, it's hard to leave it at home."

PATAGONIA WARRANTY — "WE'RE IN BUSINESS TO SAVE OUR HOME PLANET"
Since its founding in 1973 by Yvon Chouinard, Patagonia has been internationally recognized for its sustainable supply chains and active environmental advocacy, to the point of receiving the United Nations Champions of the Earth Award. In 2022, its founder donated the company to a trust and a non-profit organization to dedicate its profits entirely to fighting climate change.
Patagonia allocates at least 1% of its annual sales to grassroots environmental groups, prioritizing initiatives that other corporate donors often ignore. Every product is backed by the Ironclad Guarantee: if you are not satisfied, they will repair, replace, or refund it. No exceptions.
TWO CERTIFICATIONS THAT ENDORSE EVERY DETAIL
Fair Trade Certified™: guarantees that the people who made this garment in Sri Lanka received fair compensation and worked in dignified and safe conditions. It is not just a marketing label: it involves independent audits and a direct economic premium for the workers.
bluesign®: considered the strictest sustainability label in the textile industry, bluesign evaluates the entire production chain from raw materials to final products, guaranteeing the responsible use of resources, minimum environmental impact, and worker safety. The R1 Air Crew fabric carries this certification, meaning the manufacturing process—from chemicals to water and energy consumption—meets the industry's most demanding standards.
HOW TO USE THE R1 AIR CREW IN YOUR LAYERING SYSTEM
The R1 Air Crew is designed to function while in motion. Its offset shoulder seams prevent chafing under backpack straps or a harness. Its straight cut and crew neck allow it to be combined without friction over a technical base layer or under a waterproof shell. Its 278 g weight and compressibility make it the layer you will always carry even if you aren't sure you'll need it.
Ideal for trail running, cold-water surfing, technical hiking, ski touring, or any high-intensity activity in cool temperatures.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- Machine wash warm
- Do not bleach

SIZE GUIDE
