Here's what other sites are saying:
From Patagonia.com:
"How to make yourself impervious to winter's bone-chilling gales? Well, you could stay inside. But for the non-couch-potato types, our warmest fleece provides high-loft 7.4-oz R2 (Polartec Thermal Pro polyester that's 40% recycled) on the inside and a velour fleece face (13.5-oz Polartec Windbloc polyester), with a stretchy windproof laminate sandwiched between. It keeps you mobile and toasty, and excels alone or under a shell. The lack of shoulder seams allows pack-wearing comfort, and the one chest and two high-placed handwarmer pockets (above harness-line) close with invisible zippers. Drawcord hem. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program."

From Backcountry.com:
"The windproof Patagonia Men's R4 Fleece Jacket fends off freezing temps and biting winds as you climb the ridge or schuss down the slope. Patagonia sandwiched a windproof laminate between high-loft, wicking fleece to create the R4 Jacket. Polartec Thermal Pro fleece efficiently holds onto your body heat, and the grid-patterned lining pulls perspiration away from your body to keep you comfortable as you work or play hard in the cold. Because the R4 stretches, you won't feel inhibited as you reach with your ice axe, plant with your ski pole, or reach down to adjust your crampon. This regular-fit jacket layers well, so you can pull it on over long johns or wear it under a shell. You'll appreciate details such as the lack of shoulder seams so you can wear your pack comfortably and high hand pockets so your harness doesn't cover the zippered openings."
