![]() Patagonia's R1 Pullover Hoody is stripped down version of the classic R1 Hoody. With an exterior left-chest pocket and Polygiene® permanent odor control. The torso is now 1" longer for layering under a harness. The sleeves push up easily when it’s hot, but have discreet on-seam thumb holes for added warmth when it’s cold. A minimalist, deep-venting front zipper allows for further temperature regulation, with a soft zipper garage to keep your chin comfy, while the off-shoulder seams sit comfortably under your pack straps. For higher-output use and enhanced mobility, we’ve incorporated lighter weight, super stretchy grid fabric along the side panels, in the snug-fitting balaclava-style hood and at harness line. It stretches, traps heat and compresses down to practically nothing. Its high/low grid interior (Polartec® Power Grid™ polyester) is key to the hoody’s versatility-it’s the lightest and most breathable iteration ever, and still exclusive to Patagonia. R1 air is more on the casual/passive warmth side that's kind of in between the two but most definitely heavier.Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / SpecificationsĪ trusted thermal layering piece ideal for climbing and ski touring, with alpine-specific features, such as a balaclava hood, and a slim fit with a long hem to stay tucked under a harness or pants.Īfter nearly 20 years of cranking, our R1® fabric remains a benchmark for alpine efficiency-and this season we’ve refocused the Pullover Hoody for the technical core user. R1 is best for anything remotely sweat inducing. ![]() I'd say melly is great for more casual but occasional technical usage. Hope this provides enough information for those researching the differences between a couple options. Otherwise it feels warmer by virtue of the fabric weight and exposed surface area of zig-zag vs grid. The r1 air chest pocket keeps snacks warm when it’s cold and discourages putting in heavy items that will make you have a saggy, heavy chest. However, the melly hood scoop with a cinch is much warmer than when I am fully covered in the r1. I find myself using the r1 chest pocket + thumb loops for warmth than the melly kangaroo pocket. R1 air hasn’t gotten use in different scenarios but the zipper is quite useful for temp control.įeatures for warm/breathability don’t necessarily correspond to weight. Can’t really raise the sleeves up that much :(Īlthough the wind cuts right through all of them, I find myself getting sweatier and staying sweaty longer in the melly more when active. R1 air fabric is kinda scratchy since it’s thicker and zig zagged. The spandex panels can constrict a bit but loosens up over time. R1 comfortable textured inside and “slicker” outside fabric. Can raise sleeves over forearms up to the elbows. Melly is basically pajamas disguised as a technical garment. Most useful for technical stuff like wearing a helmet or adding a smidge of warmth but also compresses the forehead/hair/ears a bit after a few hours. R1 is tight and form fitting for going under helmets. That fabric alone adds significant warmth by trapping a bubble of hot air around the chest/neck instead of merely covering it with the polyester layer. Measurements based on size small with hoods. Zipper and hood combo make it super versatile especially when you add a wind layer over, have a LS underneath, or both! I've comfortably taken those three items to upper 40s with a breeze while moving. R1 - used for everything: day hikes, backpacking, climbing, skiing, cycling, layering over/under whatever else. Less great for active use and good passive warmth if there's no wind. ![]() Gets really hot when active so the layer usually comes off unless there’s a stiff breeze. Melly - used primarily for short dayhikes (~50 degrees) and around the house.
