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 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 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…

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…

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've had the strato for a little while and it seems to be larger around the mid section than other arcteryx clothing. I'm 6'2 and 170lbs and I have a few arcteryx items that…

A very nice addition to my closetful of Arcteryx gear. Worn it a couple of times already in central New York beginnings of winter. Almost too warm for the 30s with just a ss T…

I've enjoyed the Better Sweater Cardigan so much, I had to try the 1/4 zip. I haven't worn my baggy Patagonia Marsupial since, the fit of this is Better Sweater is so much mo…

I may have just received this today, but I already know it's gonna perform like a monster. The jacket is softer than Patagonia's R1, and the weight is going to be PERFECT for…

LOVE THIS. 1 of my 10+ Arc'teryx pieces.. was excited to order this from them. SOOO light.. can barely tell it's on. Great for layering in moderately cool/cold weather. It's g…

I bought myself this so I wouldn't die while waiting for the bus on cold Brooklyn days. So far, I am alive and well. People often tell me that my jacket is too light, and th…

I bought this jacket in hope that it would work as a winter jacket combined with a thick sweater beneath and possibly a windproof layer for windy days. I went biking to wor…

I bought this damn jacket when it first came out this year. My girlfriend and I were already having problems and the mere fact that I looked like a god in it didn't help matt…

Like any gear that blurs boundaries, it does most of what you want, just not as well as the ideal layer. So it breathes and wicks, but not aw well as a Paty R1 Hoody. It pro…

I had the chance to try this jacket on recently and I found it to be an amazing piece of equipment that I can't live without. You can rock it on it's own or use it for layerin…
