I bought it for year-round use from snowboarding to hiking. I decided on the Theta for a few main reasons. 1. Gore-Tex Pro Shell is totally waterproof, extremely breathable, w…

Don't listen to that other review. Moosejaw was awesome in getting me this jacket. I had gotten the previous year's model with rewards points and it didn't fit but by the time…

I bought this jacket last year just before Christmas. After spending the previous winter getting wet and cold in my old jacket. I have to say that I have been blown away by…

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…

Excellent jacket, HOWEVER, about a month after wearing it, I found that there was a small delamination inside the main zipper. So I contacted MooseJaw to ask if I could excha…

Pretty much every aspect of this jacket is great except the price. I often hold my sleeve under the faucet of sinks to show my friends how sweet the gore tex is although with…

I am a fan of Mountain Hardwear, but this is a poorly designed jacket. Mountain Hardwear calls it "ideal for any climb". It should say "ideal for any climb that you dont lift…

I'm giving it four stars because the fabric is savvy and this things totally feels bombproof. Serious zippers. Serious fabric. Unfortunately, compared to other MH jackets (…

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…

I am 5'9" 182 lbs and usually wear a large. I might have been able to go with a medium here due to the "regular" cut of this jacket - "regular" at Patagonia sometimes means a…

This is a great jacket. The quality is top notch and it's extremely warm for the the weight. It stuffs into it's own pocket (pretty cool). The only issue I have is with the si…

This is perfect for wearing around town, where the lack of pit zips. The one downside is the very large, which is designed to accommodate a helmet. Still, a very nice jacket…

Not only is it a great jacket to have in your pack, but it also is great on a night on the town. This jacket not only keeps you warm but also doesn't feel bulky like every oth…

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.…

Perfect for cool weather aerobic activities. Over just a t-shirt running at 40F I soon opened the zip, so it should be good to near freezing, lower with a good base layer. It…

Was excited but a little disappointed. It is a great jacket. Technically, very light, super warm. Why I didn’t like: 1. 5'11, 181 pounds. 41 to 42 inch chest and 31.5 waist…
