Patagonia R1 Air Fleece Zip Neck Women's

Whether you're grinding up a switchback trail, working a belay in the shoulder season, or paddling into a brisk headwind, the Patagonia R1 Air Fleece Zip-Neck earns its spot as your go-to mid layer. Built from a recycled polyester jacquard fleece with hollow-core yarns, it wicks sweat and dries fast, so you stay warm without overheating when the pace picks up. The zigzag knit keeps the fabric airy and compressible, letting you stuff it into a pack pocket without a second thought, while the quarter-zip neck opens up for quick venting on the climbs and seals shut when the wind kicks in. A slim, second-skin fit slides cleanly under a shell or harness, and the offset shoulder seams stay out of the way of pack straps mile after mile. It's the kind of fleece you forget you're wearing, until you realize how much farther you went in it.
