PATAGONIA R2 VEST (MEN'S)

The Men's R2 Vest by Patagonia is made with breathable high-loft fleece. Maybe shave down the rack, maybe carry less food, but don't ditch the R2 Vest for climbs where core warmth matters as much as weight. Its unique variable-knit polyester ensures optimal breathability, moisture-management, and warmth for low-bulk core insulation that's especially effective when worn under a shell. Stretchy R1 fabric (made with 60% recycled polyester) lines the inner collar for next-to-skin comfort. The vest has an easy-to-use front zipper, welded-in zippered handwarmer pockets and forward-set shoulder seams for comfort with a pack.

Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.
