User Review: Patagonia R2 Jacket
|
Rating: 
Fabric: Fleece
Price Paid: $130 US
I bought this jacket because of its fit, light weight, and the promised performance of the new R2 Regulator fleece. It looks gorgeous and feels like silk. But I'm selling it after owning it only a week. Why? The neck closure is uncomfortably tight.
A cold weather jacket needs enough room at the neck to hold the air in yet not give one the feeling that one is about to choke. The jacket is a medium and my neck is 16". I thought about cutting the collar open and sewing in some fleece, but I'm just going to sell this and get something with a better designed collar. This problem is not unique to the R2, I've noticed -- Patagonia designs many of their jackets this way. What a shame.
