Here's what other sites are saying:

From Patagonia.com:
"Versatile enough to wear alone in the fall or with layers come winter, our R1 Flash works as a do-everything technical pullover. Its high/low interior grid fabric stretches, breathes, moves moisture, and insulates - on the trail or off the ground. Sized for next-to-skin performance, it's still roomy enough to accommodate a thin baselayer. Low-grid polyester stretch panels under the arms and at the wrist and hem decrease bulk and increase breathability. To further reduce bulk, the elastic cuffs and the brushed-mesh chest pocket (now on the inside) are glued in. Made in USA."

From Mountain Hideaway:
"Desert sandstone, corn snow, iced-up corners: It's springtime. As a stand-alone top or an insulating midlayer, the R1 polyester of the Patagonia R1 Flash- with its high/low grid interior - stretches, breathes, moves moisture, and insulates. Sized for next-to-skin performance, it's still roomy enough to accommodate a thin baselayer. Low-grid polyester stretch panels under the arms and at the wrist and hem decrease bulk and increase breathability. To further reduce bulk, the brushed-mesh internal chest pocket is welded.

"Excellent warmth-for-weight. Ideal base-or-second-layer for cold weather. Superbly fitted high collar with slightly off-center zip at the top and flap behind zip: very comfortable and seals out any drafts.

Seams at the wrist do have a tendency to get undone, but that happens often with this kind of garment and is very easy to stitch back."

"I have the first one of these pullovers. It is an excellent top, though a little snug for Patagonia sizing but this will probably vary in each design.
Some of the stitching has come away, but power stretch is famous for tearing at the seams anyway."

"I find this pullover works best for 3 seasons. In the winter I prefer Capilene 4 with a good lofty fleece on top and a shell.

For myself, the R1 fleece is like a waffle, and if it's cold out you will really feel the cold through the thin parts!

I wear this pullover when I am going to be sweating a lot in spring, fall, or those chilly Alaskan summer days."
