Patagonia M R1 HOODY, Forge Grey

Mens versatile elastic Polartec® midlayer hooded jacket

Product description for Patagonia M R1 HOODY, Forge Grey Outerwear Male

A venerated alpine essential, the M R1 Hoody by PATAGONIA remains the optimal hooded midlayer for the full spectrum of mountain endeavors.

More than fifteen years and cranking, the R1™ fabric still sets the bar for alpine efficiency, and the PATAGONIA M R1 Hoody’s legendary versatility begins there: the high/low grid interior (Polartec® Power Grid™ polyester) has been redesigned exclusively for PATAGONIA so it’s even lighter and more breathable. It stretches, traps heat and compresses to practically nothing, with the pared-down but versatile design.

It meets climbers and backcountry skiers need: a snug-fitting balaclava-style hood, a minimalist deep-venting front zipper with a soft zipper garage that keeps your chin comfy and a Variable Conditions Cuff with discreet on-seam thumb loops and a spiral-stitch construction so you can push up the sleeves with no ensuing forearm pump.

Further pratical features of the M R1 Hoody by PATAGONIA include off-shoulder seams for pack-wearing comfort, a long torso for layering under a harness, an exterior chest pocket and Polygiene® permanent odor control.

• Exclusive to PATAGONIA, a Polartec® Power Grid™ fabric (with Polygiene® permanent odor control) is lighter and more breathable than before but with the same outstanding stretch and durability
• Snug-fitting, balaclava-style hood fits comfortably under a helmet strap and a center-front Slim Zip with a soft, kissing-welt zipper garage at chin for next-to-skin comfort
• Raglan sleeves for increased mobility and off-shoulder seaming for comfort under a pack
• Pullover silhouette has deep center-front zipper to allow for quick venting
• One left chest pocket has Slim Zip install, zipper garage and mesh pocket bag
• Sleeves have discreet on-seam thumb loops for added coverage in cold conditions
• Torso is 1" longer than usual to stay tucked in under a harness or a pack waistbelt
• Weight: 364 g (12.85)

Recycled Polyester

PATAGONIA began making recycled polyester from plastic soda bottles in 1993 - the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to transform trash into fleece. It was a positive step toward a more sustainable system– - ne that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people’s health.

Today, PATAGONIA recycles used soda bottles, unusable manufacturing waste and worn-out garments (including their own) into polyester fibers to produce clothing. And PATAGONIA offers recycled polyester in a lot more garments, including Capilene® baselayers, shell jackets, board shorts and fleece.

Using recycled polyester lessens the dependence on petroleum as a source of raw materials. It curbs discards, thereby prolonging landfill life and reducing toxic emissions from incinerators. It helps to promote new recycling streams for polyester clothing that is no longer wearable. And it causes less air, water and soil contamination compared to using nonrecycled polyester.

Bluesign® Approved Fabric

PATAGONIA has worked with bluesign technologies since 2000 to evaluate and reduce resource consumption in their materials supply chain, and to assist us with managing the chemicals, dyes and finishes used in the process. bluesign technologies, based in Switzerland, works at each step in the textile supply chain to approve chemicals, processes, materials, and products that are safe for the environment, safe for workers, and safe for end customers.

In 2007, PATAGONIA became the first brand to officially join the network of bluesign® system partners.

Any fabric you see that’s bluesign® approved offers the highest level of consumer safety by employing methods and materials in their manufacture that conserve resources and minimize impacts on people and the environment.

Insulation

Regulator® fleece insulation provides phenomenal compressibility, light weight warmth, and moisture transport, whether used alone or as part of a layering system. The lofted hollow-core fibers of Regulator fleece insulation conserve body heat while allowing body moisture to wick uninhibited. They’re also lightweight and highly compressible for packing. Regulator Fleece Insulation provides exceptional breathability to keep you dry on the inside and while Regulator fleece provides the same amount of warmth as a much bulkier fleece, it does so with lighter, more compressible materials. Since you stay both dryer and warmer, you’re able to maintain your comfort over a wide temperature range, which results in fewer layering changes and a lighter, less bulky pack.

Fair Trade Certified™

For every Fair Trade Certified item PATAGONIA buy, they pay a premium. The money goes into an account that is controlled by the workers and is specifically designated for social, economic and environmental development projects. Workers may choose to use the money to help build a school or a health clinic, create a scholarship or invest in some other aspect of their other community.
