Patagonia Men's R1 Air Crew - Crater Blue

Patagonia’s Men’s R1® Air Crew is a lightweight, breathable and quick-drying technical fleece with a clean, athletic fit for high-exertion activities in cold conditions.

 

It is extremely light and packable and made off Patagonia’s technical R1® Air fleece / hollow core yarns. The fabric has a lofted zig-zag texture to trap air and dissipate moisture quickly so it will dry fast. It offers highly breathable warmth without weight during high-exertion, non-stop activities in cold conditions.

 

Light, airy and minimally designed, it feels soft and forgiving on the skin and can be worn as a stand-alone top when conditions permit.

	Sweat alone is odorless–bacteria metabolizing fat and protein in a moist, warm environment is actually what causes garments to smell after extended use HeiQ-Fresh® uses the natural antimicrobial properties of silver ions from recycled silver salt that are naturally present in our environment. It effectively inhibits the metabolism of the bacteria from processing odorless sweat into nasty smells.
