Here's what other sites are saying:

From Patagonia:
"Another gorgeous spring day. Time to call in sick ? again. An all-time favorite, the R1 Hoody earns raves from our most active customers and ambassadors alike. Warm, breathable and mobile, it has the minimalist detailing that avid climbers and backcountry skiers need ? from the stretchy and more earth-friendly R1 polyester fabric (made with polyester that's 60% recycled), to the snug-fitting balaclava-style hood. With low-grid stretch polyester under the arms, at the wrist cuffs and around the long bottom hem for minimal bulk under a harness. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program. Slim fit leaves room for a light baselayer."

Men's R1 Hoody
Reviewed by r_k, Jan 16, 2007

"While not exactly a fashion item, the R1 Hoody is very nice when it comes to lightweight hiking or climbing in cool or cold conditions. Actually, for the people who rarely bother to bring a second shirt to a trip, this is a gift from heaven. The hood replaces neck gaiter and hat or balaclava, making your kit list a little shorter, the long sleeves that end in thumb loops mean that you can survive with lighter gloves."
