Warm, comfortable (the inside is very soft fleece), and good looking - what more could you ask for? I got a Medium, which fits me perfectly; I'm 6'0" and ~173lbs, 40 inch che…

This sweatshirt is great. Keeps you warm and makes a great base for wearing under a shell. Very comfortable too and size is right on…

After going back and forth between the R2 and R3 I decided to spend a little more for the R3. Glad I did. The fit is great...like many Patagonia offerings a little slim in tor…

In a nutshell: This is a very warm jacket that feels good to wear. I've owned the R3 for about 7 months now and it's gone on almost every adventure I have had. I've had a lot…

This jacket is pretty great for a fleece coat. It's kept me very warm during the on and off cold weather so far this year. The two downsides are the cream color does get dirty…

I have had this product for a year or so, and it has held up well. It is soft and has a nice fit, but I do think it is a bit thin, and it wears out fast and gets warn is speci…

This jacket is awesome. It's incredibly light weight and packs down small. Not to mention it breathes like a champ. Whether i'm walking to class or backpacking in the appalach…

I have had the jacket for a week now and absolutely love it. I am 6'1" 180lbs and ordered a large. The athletic cut gives it a great slim fit, and the sleeves are a perfect…

I bought this last year because I was tired of wearing my worn out northface zip up. I knew I would like this product because I have a Patagonia rain jacket that is wonderful!…

I fell in love with this jacket the minute I saw it on someone walking down the path on the campus of my college. It was a cold day and she looked so warm walking from class t…

*FIT: I got the Medium and Large to compare. I'm 5'6" 155lbs - the M fit with just enough room to wear a thin long sleeve shirt underneath. If you're 130-140, the M will be…
- Kely, 12/04/11

Although this jacket is very comfortable, stylish, fashionable, etc., the fit was simply a little odd. It was super short in the torso and baggy in the upper arms. The lining…

I have always been a big fan of Patagonia, and this sweater is exactly what I was looking for. You can dress it up or dress it down. Perfect for work! I got this in another co…

I like this jacket - it caught my eye in the store right away. It's nice that it has the warmth of fleece, and the interior is what you would expect from a fleece, but the ou…

I waited two years to research and ask questions about this jacket. Now, when I'm not wearing my R1, I want to kick my own ass for waiting. This is sleepwear comfort on the tr…
- Jason, 02/28/12

I really love this jacket, as it is very light, but quite warm, and more importantly, very breathable. It is a go-anywhere type of companion that can easily be vented, or pop…

My GF was getting jealous that I was buying all this Arcteryx gear for myself that I felt bad (not really) so I bought her a piece just so she could feel as special as me (onc…

I was lazy and shopped on line and bought this after having a nice live chat. Normally Arcteryx products are a little short on my monkey arms but this one hangs down over my k…

This fleece is great in hundreds of ways. The second I put it on I loved it. The fit is longer than most. It is form fitting but not overly. The sleeves are roomy (comparable…

This is hands down the best jacket ever. It's warm, its breathable, its damn near windproof. I have worn it under a shell or on its own and remained totally toasty. I'm 5'1…

Love this hoody. I didn't find it to run too short at all. it runs exactly like every other Arcteryx thing I have ever tried on or owned. I love the length and I HATE short th…

This hoody is adorable, until you put it on :( I don't feel like I'm abnormally long in the torso but this shirt was very short! I just didn't feel like it would be something…
- Laurie, 02/21/10

The jacket looked a lot cooler on the website then in person. The material is a little strange. It's an uncomfortable wool blend. The small elastic cuffs were also weird.…

I love this product. It's so soft and warm. I'm about 5'10'' and got a medium- the arms and body are long (which I love), and it has a somewhat snug fit. I can comfortably wea…

This is the softest fleece I've ever owned. Wearing it makes cuddling up to rusty nails and broken glass comfortable. It's warm too, so if those nails and glass have been sitt…

The warmth to weight ratio is a winner and it's a great on the trail or the sidewalk. The material is unique. It's as soft and warm as any light jacket you'll ever wear. 2 iss…

I absolutely love this coat! It's the warmest coat I own at least for the upper body. The wind proof barrier is great and actually keeps you nice and toasty (much better than…
