Stretchy R1? fabric (made with polyester that's 60% recycled) inside the collar and cuffs enhances skin comfort, and the pliable R2 body fabric affords unrestrained movement.

From Backcountry.com:
"The Patagonia Men's R2 is the fleece jacket you'll reach for every time you go outside. Constructed from Patagonia's trademark R2 stretchy, midweight fleece material, the R2 Jacket keeps you comfortable in brisk temps and lets you move freely. Wear it alone in moderately cold weather or underneath a shell when snow is falling or the wind picks up. The R2 Fleece Jacket dries quickly in case you get caught in drizzly weather. Plus, this breathable fleece speeds moisture away from your core to keep you warm as you ski, hike, or belay your climbing partner. Patagonia gave this jacket an offset zipper at the chin to prevent chafing and a Napoleon chest pocket for your energy bar."

The quality and fit of the jacket are top notch. In these respects, it is exactly what I wanted. I am 5'9 and fairly skinny and the small fits me great. Fairly comparable to most Mountain Hardwear size small stuff."

It really hit me that this is a real standout when I got back from a snowshoeing trip on the Superior hiking trail and noticed a picture of the guy I spent 10 minutes talking to about the jacket (it was five in the morning with full blizzard conditions very conducive to conversation) in the trail brochure I picked up."
