Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"On Sale. Free Shipping. Patagonia Men's R1.5 Jacket (Spring 2007) The Men's R1.5 Jacket by Patagonia is a technical fleece that bridges the gap between baselayer and insulation by seamlessly varying fleece densities to optimize thermal quality and breathability while reducing bulk Features: R1.5 fabric is warm and pliable, with a smooth face for layering BioMap innovative knitting technology blends different fleece weights, without cutting fabric or adding seams. (BioMap technology was co-developed with Malden Mills) Full, ?closed? fleece for warmth and wind resistance in the core Double-sided high/low grid fleece, with mesh for breathability and lighter insulation, in high sweat areas (under the arms, down the back, cuffs and bottom hem) Curved mesh slits for minimal bulk and maximum mobility in flex zones (inside elbows, on shoulders blades and back of neck) The only seams (shoulder, outer collar and down sides) are flat stitched Zippers, cuffs, pockets, collar and hems are welded-in, making them smoother, lighter and trimmer Full-length reverse-coil zipper, with offset chin to reduce chafing, is welded to the outside for next-to-skin comfort Welded-in hand pockets, with reverse-coil welded-in zippers are placed high for harness compatibility Clean, minimal design throughout, down to the heat-transfer label and high/low knit logo (no tags) Contoured fit with room for a light baselayer Weight: 425 g. (15 oz.) Fabric: R1.5: 8-oz. (Polartec Thermal Pro) 97% polyester, 3% spandex double-sided fleece treated with a wicking finish"

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Varied densities of Polartec Thermal Pro fleece fabric make this Patagonia R1.5 Jacket an excellent four-season piece for skiing, snowboarding, climbing and backpacking. It's a design similar to mapped bike jerseys and running tops, but the Patagonia R1.5 Jacket uses a heavier fleece fabric for better wear-alone versatility as summer outerwear. The R1.5 Polartec Thermal Pro fleece fabric is highly wind resistant along key warmth areas while thinner material facilitates venting under the arms, at the center of back and along the back of the neck. If you hike, climb, or ski hard and far, this BIOMAP knit jacket is a must-have essential."

From RockCreek:
"Patagonia's R1.5 Jacket is the technical fleece that bridges the gap between base layer and insulation by varying fleece densities. Frigidity, exhaustion, fear - a few of alpinism's joys. The R1.5 fabric seamlessly varies fleece densities throughout the jacket, thanks to BioMap, an innovative knitting technology (codeveloped with Malden Mills) that blends different-weight fleeces without cutting fabric or adding seams. A more-open grid structure under the arms and down the sides enhances breathability (and matches the pit zips on our hard shells); curved mesh grooves inside the elbows, on the shoulder blades and behind the neck facilitate mobility and minimize bulk; and "closed" knit in the core ensures warmth where it matters most. With stretch throughout and a brushed, wicking interior for next-to-skin comfort. The collar, cuffs, pockets and reverse-coil, center-front zip are glued, complementing the clean, minimalist design. Made in USA."

From Patagonia:
"When it's too cold for a base layer, but too warm for insulation, reach for our new Regulator? R1.5. This exciting new addition to our Regulator System is the first to use BIOMAP? design, guided by human physiology and anatomy."

"I LOVE LOVE LOVE this jacket. . . absolutely an essential part of my fall/winter/spring attire! Great alone when there is a slight chill in the air and perfect warm layer for skiing the slopes when the mercury drops! Soft and snuggly even on the days I stay in and lay about the house."
