User Review: Patagonia R2 Jacket

Patagonia R2 Jacket
Above: The current R2 Jacket, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $125

This jacket is great! I can see why it won an Editor's Choice award. Why is it great? Because you get a very warm insulating jacket that can vent at will. Of course you have to pair it with a lightweight waterproof/windproof shell with pit zips. This creates the perfect combo for a wide range of temperature variations without having to remove your jacket. That is, you close up your zips and the monkey-hair fabric traps warmth in in its air pockets--perfect for riding the lift up a mountain. On the way down, you find yourself starting to work up a sweat, open up your vents, and the air goes right through the monkey hair. This jacket is an insulating (mid-layer) jacket and does a great job at it.
