The R1 Air Fleece Pullover from Patagonia is the ideal midlayer for variable days.
If you are looking for a versatile fleece pullover that supports you optimally in nature or everyday life, then the Patagonia R1 Air series is just right for you. Whether fly fishing by the water or engaging in other outdoor activities—this pullover has it all. Let's take a look at the outstanding features that make the R1 Air an indispensable companion.
1. Top warmth and breathability:
The Patagonia R1 Air Fleece Pullover offers you a perfect combination of lightness and warmth. The R1 Air fabric ensures that you stay warm during intense activities without overheating. Thanks to excellent breathability and moisture regulation, your body stays pleasantly dry, even when things get a bit wild. In short: Thanks to its special material, this fleece is extremely versatile and suitable for every season.
The R1 Air material is fluffy, feels wonderfully soft on the skin, and offers great air circulation thanks to small air channels. At the same time, these air channels provide a pleasant thermal layer in cold temperatures.
2. Environmentally friendly materials:
Patagonia also focuses on sustainability with the R1 Air—the fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester. This is not only good for the environment but also makes the pullover robust and durable. If you value environmentally friendly products, you will appreciate this approach.
3. Versatile design:
The R1 Air Pullover is extremely versatile. The half zipper (Zip Neck) allows you to adjust the ventilation according to your needs. In cool weather, the high collar protects your neck from the cold, and when it gets warmer, you can simply open it. The sleek design ensures that the pullover looks good both under a jacket and over a T-shirt. And if you need a bit more protection, then the Hoody with Full Zip is the optimal choice for you! The snug hood warms your head and shields it from cold wind. But if you can do without a zip, the minimalist crew is perfect for you. The round neck fits comfortably and makes this version an ultra-comfortable companion.
For those who like to pull a hood deep into their face, the R1 Air Hoody is just right.
4. Practical details for outdoor fans:
For all outdoor activities, the R1 Air offers thoughtful details. The flat seams prevent chafing and increase comfort—perfect, for example, when casting. The elastic cuffs on the sleeves and hem ensure that no warmth escapes and no wind gets in. Additionally, the fleece fits snugly under a wading or rain jacket. Perfect!
Our conclusion:
Whether you're standing by the water waiting for the next hatch, just out in nature, or looking for a versatile fleece for your everyday life—the Patagonia R1 Air Fleece Pullover will quickly become your favorite companion. Its combination of warmth, breathability, and sustainability makes it a great choice.
