Why We Like The R1 Air Zip-Neck Top
Dropping temps be damned, the lightweight, breathable Patagonia R1 Air Zip-Neck Top allows us to push our bodies to the limit in cold, winter weather without losing a step. This is made possible thanks to the recycled hollow-core fabric with a unique zig-zag texture that wicks sweat from our skin, dries insanely fast, and maintains high levels of breathability to keep our muscles warm as we reach for new PRs, whether we're on the skin track or a road run.

I'm confused by the R1 Air and haven't decided the best use or combination for me yet. Patagonia lists it as a baselayer to midlayer. Wearing it as a baselayer, I felt it did not wick sufficiently to be a baselayer. I felt the between areas of the zig-zag weaving where it breathes was fine, but sweat was accumulating at the zig-zag weave so it wasn't wicking sufficiently to wear as a baselayer. One person's breathability is another person's wind penetration, which makes it a cold midlayer without a wind resistant/proof outer layer. Most recently I wore lightweight baselayer, the R1 Air zip neck, and R1 techface on a hike in 18F-20F temp, and felt it was comfortable with exertion. above 20F I had to take off the R1 Air and just wore the lightweight baselayer and R1 techface. I also tried another hike in same temp range wearing just the R1 Air zip neck under a Nano-Air hoody and that was too warm and the R1 Air zip neck wasn't working well as a base layer. I feel it is on the bulky side for packing. I'm not sure how I will use it given its air permiability/breathability and its packing bulkiness. It's sort of like The North Face's 50/50 line, which I also find perplexing. On one hand its breathable because of the gaps, on the other hand it is cold because of the gaps. Conversely, it can get too warm where there aren't any gaps. Last, I wish there were thumb loops.

Torso isn’t as bulky as the full zip version with the hood. Make no sense but palo green is a really nice in person. Very warm even though it breathes well. Very niche. I run warm so I can use it below 20F over baselayer or as a baselayer because it’s so tight.

Toasty Warm, Runs Slim

This is a pretty interesting new addition to the R1 sub-brand. You put it on and immediately feel toasty warm. And it really shines under a shell to block the wind or precipitation. My first reaction was that it was too slim/tight; and I almost returned it. However, I decided to keep it and have noticed it sort of loosens up a bit as you wear it. But honestly, I cannot conceive how one could wear anything but an uber thin, and I mean UBER thin, garment underneath. Maybe an UA compression half-sleeve.

Used it as an action layer during some recent climbing. It breathed as well as you could expect, but did get a bit too toasty under mid-day sun. Otherwise, was super happy to have it early mornings and during some blustery evenings at altitude. After five days or so, it smelled pretty rough, though, so mind yourself if you’re going for post-climb drinks indoors!

Seems nice but didn't fit

The materials and construction of the R1 air seem superb. However the fit of the XL was unpleasant. I have about a 47 inch chest and found the garment to be too tight in the chest, shoulders, and arms while simultaneously being very long in the body. I think the XL would fit someone taller than me (>5'10) who is also of a slimmer build very well. I found the Arc'teryx Delta Lt fit me much better in the chest and shoulders.

Comfortable and Warm

The New R1 Air is a home run. I have the original R1 and love it, but the fit is a bit boxy, sleeves are too long and while it is warm, the wind fires through it. The R1 Air improves in all areas. Better fit, sleeves are perfect (may be short if you have long arms), more of a slim fit, but not too slim. It breathes well, but also is much better at blocking the wind. Crazy warm, perfect for using under a ski shell. The original R1 was not something I would wear to the office, where the R1 Air is a bit more refined and is great for my cold office. Definitely worn more than any thing else this winter. Just buy it you will love it.
