User Review: Patagonia R4 Jacket

Patagonia R4 Jacket
Above: The current R4 Jacket, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 1 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $170

This is not a serious piece of outdoor gear. The drawstring on the bottom does not hold any tension meaning it doesn't seal effectively, and does not keep me warm. Additionally, the sleeves are not tight enough to keep out the cold, and there's no drawstring on the neck.

All together, this adds up to a very expensive jacket that does not keep me warm. It might serve me well to go to a cafe but I don't drink coffee so I'm SOL.

I bought this on sale (now I know why) after I lost my Mountain Hardwear Link Jacket. The MH was better in every way, and cheaper.
