"The Patagonia R1 Granular Jacket can be worn for any cold weather activity. The versatility of this technical insulator can not be denied. Bearing Patagonia's Regulator designation for its insulating properties and layerabilty, the Granular can be used for numerous pursuits. The use of negative space, in its interior grid pattern, to store body heat and encourage airflow allows this all-purpose jacket to regulate temperature and move moisture. Smooth on the outside, this jacket can easily be layered under your favorite shell to keep you outside. A contoured cut accommodates base-layers and lets you wear this functional jacket every time you head outdoors.Available In: Leaf Features Regulator Grid interior Wind resistant Two hand pockets, and one sleeve pocket Weighs 20 oz.

From RockCreek:
"Patagonia's Men's R1 Granular Jacket is a technical, lightweight fleece jacket with a smooth face for wind resistance and durability. Part insulation and part shell, the R1 Granular resists weather and abrasion while moving moisture and trapping warmth. A smooth Hardface outer fabric blocks wind and snow and adds durability, while the time-honored R1 internal grid fabric wicks and insulates. Layers slide effortlessly over the jacket top when the going gets harsh; offset shoulder seams maintain comfort with a pack or gear sling; and the invisible-zipper handwarmer pockets rest above a harness. Other details include a two-way, reverse-coil front zipper, articulated elbows, anatomically shaped cuffs and a glued-in left bicep pocket. Contoured fit. Imported."

Men's R1 Granular Jacket
Reviewed by RidgeMan, Nov 15, 2006

Very well designed, made in the U. S. , grid fleece on the inside is very warm but breathes and dries well. The outside is very much a smooth material almost a semi-softshell and the DWR beads like nobody's business.

Only CONCERN is that it is a very athletic fit! It fits tightly around the waist area which is great for a technical piece of kit but may prevent you from wearing it out in public as it looks bike jersey fittish.
