Few product categories encapsulate Patagonia's legacy quite like its fleeces. From the sumptuous Synchilla tops to the timeless Retro Pile jackets, the brand’s luxuriously soft jumpers have long captivated admirers. Equally esteemed is the R1 line – now reimagined for 2025 with insights gleaned from thousands of climbing hours.
I am thoroughly familiar with the previous iteration; if you don't believe me, read my Patagonia R1 Air Fleece Crew review. It's soft and cosy, all the while allowing you to move your upper limbs in any direction you want, making it perfect for outdoor excursions.
