Technical insulation that provides a high degree of warmth when worn under a shell and breathable, heat-trapping properties when worn alone.Starting with crisp fall evenings and lasting through spindrift-blasted belays and backcountry hut tours, cold-weather outings call for top-level insulation. The R3? Jacket is our warmest nonlaminated (thus more breathable) fleece, with a technical design that excels alone or under a shell. The dense velour face helps stop wind, while the superplush interior grid soothes and adds wicking and warmth. Offset shoulder seams allow for pack-wearing comfort. Pockets: two zippered hand and one chest. 100% recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.
When I received the jacket, I questioned whether it would be warm enough. Except in extreme conditions (especially high winds), the jacket is plenty warm. As a bonus, the styling and color set it apart from the crowd. Very happy with the purchase.
The layers are so condensed that I have absolutely free movement, more so than any other jacket I have owned. Because of the jacket's warmth, I spend more time out-of-doors without having to worry about the cold-factor.
This is one of the best fitting jackets I've ever had. It has great movement and is suprisingly warm. I layer up with no heavy outer, so this is a nice mid-layer insulator.
