Patagonia R1 TechFace Jacket

The Patagonia R1 TechFace Jacket bridges the gap between the two, functioning as a highly breathable soft-shell with a warm, gridded fleece interior. It utilizes a durable, abrasion-resistant face fabric to block wind and weather rather than a stiff, waterproof hard shell material.

The jacket is constructed with a blend of recycled nylon and polyester fabrics, adhering to Patagonia's strict environmental standards. The exterior features a durable water repellent (DWR) finish to shed light moisture during demanding outdoor tasks or sudden weather changes.

It is specifically designed for high-output mountain activities like rock climbing, skiing, and hiking where you need both breathability and weather protection. The abrasion-resistant exterior handles impacts from rock and ice exceptionally well, making it perfect for demanding workwear in rugged conditions.

It provides excellent mid-weight insulation, making it ideal as an outer layer during cool, dry conditions or as a mid-layer under a heavy storm shell in winter. Its dynamic, stretchy fabric traps heat efficiently without causing you to overheat during intense aerobic climbs.
