When alpine conditions keep shifting between sunny scrambles and sudden squalls, the Patagonia R1 TechFace Hoody bridges the gap between fleece comfort and softshell protection with remarkable versatility. This technical hoody combines a weather-resistant face fabric with a cozy fleece-like interior, delivering wind and water resistance without sacrificing breathability during high-output climbs. The helmet-compatible 3-panel hood with laminated visor accommodates your climbing helmet while keeping weather at bay, while the articulated pattern and stretchy construction move with you through every reach, mantling move, and cross-body stretch. Built for mountaineers who demand performance in variable mountain conditions, this alpine hoody features low-bulk cuffs that won't catch on handholds and a drawcord hem that adjusts easily through the handwarmer pockets, even with gloves on. At 403g, it's the kind of versatile crosslayer that earns permanent residence in your climbing pack, ready to adapt as quickly as mountain weather changes.
