The Patagonia R1 Air Zip Neck in Blue Sage is built for high-output skiing, touring, and active layering—this is one of the most performance-driven fleeces Patagonia makes.
At its core is a 100% recycled polyester jacquard fleece, engineered with hollow-core yarns that trap warmth while actively moving moisture away from your body. The result is a layer that keeps you warm without overheating when you’re pushing hard.
What really separates the R1 Air is the zigzag knit construction. It increases airflow and reduces bulk, making it significantly more breathable and compressible than traditional fleece—perfect for ski touring, bootpacking, or just skiing hard all day.
The quarter-zip design adds real usability:
- Vent heat quickly on the move
- Easy to layer under shells
- Minimal bulk through the chest and neck
Fit is slim and performance-oriented, designed to sit close to the body for efficient moisture management and clean layering.
Other details show it’s built for real use:
- Offset shoulder seams = no pressure under packs
- Zippered chest pocket = secure storage
- Quick-drying cuffs and hem = better durability and fit
And as expected from Patagonia:
- 100% recycled fabric
- Fair Trade Certified™ construction
- bluesign® approved materials
Why this piece stands out
• Extremely breathable for high-output activity
• Lightweight warmth without bulk
• Fast-drying and moisture-wicking performance
• Low-profile design layers easily
• Slim fit improves efficiency and comfort
