Patagonia R1 Air - THE lightest and warmest Midlayer ever?

#ultralight #backpacking #Patagonia
In January I reported from the ISPO 2020 and the Patagonia R1 Air was one of the most anticipated pieces of gear from the Tradeshow - and now that I own one, I can say it really does not disappoint! It probably is the warmest midlayer for the weight that I own, and I'm looking forward to go hiking and skitouring with it in the coming months!

Good choice mate! Are you in Vaasa?
Ein wirklich interessanter Midlayer! Ich beschäftige mich nun seit gut 1.5 Jahren intensiv mit dem Thema Kleidung und das sollte eigentlich jeder Outdoor-Freund tun. Wenn man sich richtig mit der Materie befasst, dann wird man schnell feststellen wie groß der Komfortgewinn ist, wenn ich für die jeweilige Tour die passende Kleidung verwende. 👍

Auf jeden Fall! Und wenn man mal ein Kleidungssystem gefunden hat welches für einen funktioniert weiss man auch immer wieder was man anziehen soll 😆 Und solche neuen “Kleider” wie der R1 Air ersetzten dann in der Regel nur einen Teil im System.
Thanks for the review :) Is it time for a 1 year (long term) review? Subed.
Hi there, great review! Just wondering what chest size you are if you have a small so I can compare! Thanks

How does the r1 air compare to the capilene air?? Thx!
Hello Hendrik! Is it possible to wear the collar folded down also? With zip half open, so the collar sits like a regular, let's say, flannel. Or is it made in such a way that it always stays up? Wish you luck on your adventures, TGA
it's 2 years later now...how did it perform for you during high output cold weather?
Stoked about this new addition to the R1 family. Just ordered the hooded version. Will go well with my Nano Air and Rain Shadow for layering.

My buddy has an R1 from like 2001-2003 and it still is going strong and is warm. Unreal how many people use it as a fashion brand nowadays.. this is high end gear you are supposed to buy once and wear into the ground lol.
which pants and backpack you are wearing?
a question about the combination with the Arc'teryx insulation jacket. Is LT or AR Atom model?. Would it be too warm with AR? Do you think LT model is enough? What temperature range are you thinking about? Thanks a lot.

LT should be good for anything around fifty Fahrenheit by itself. With a mid it can drop lower. I’d personally check out the Proton LT since it’s warmer and better fitting.
Would love they made the crew neck one with this half zip

Seems like a good option from the Nano Air hoody, ie, a R1 Air hoody plus a Houdini /Houdini Air . More flexibility.

For cold runs I’ve been going w a cap air for insulation depending on situation, and the older airshed pullover as the breathable wind block. The Houdini’s too clammy and works against the wicking of the baselayer, but the airshed breathes so well it’s symbiotic. Blocks just enough wind but let’s the steam out. The nano air is great but with the air shed+fleece it’s separating the insulation from the shell so it’s more of a versatile combo. If less active but still moving in the cold it’s either the R1 pullover+airshed or if it’s really cold the R2 tech face, which is basically a slightly beefier R1 grid fleece w a built in airshed. It’s far superior to the regular R2 but at the same price

00:04:19 thanks for the important information that it is not air resistant. So not for bike riding. Would like to know, if the R1 daily is wind resistant.
Hugely informative. For running (around 5:15 min/km) in 2-10C with or without a wind over a base layer would you be too hot? Or would a ultra light wind shirt be better? I’m torn between the two? Keep up the great work!

It’s the best bang for buck for a mid layer you can buy. Made to last decades of use. Patagonia is the best.

@@bikeinmotion I concur wholeheartedly, the cap air crew is the one thing I wear every day, from fall to spring, I had to get more than one so as to never be without a clean one although they stay surprisingly fresh for what I do in them. My regular R1 is the full zip since it’s easier to get on over a clingy wool base, but I ordered the R1 air crew hoping they will pair up well. Can’t wait to put is under my Airshed, so far the cap air+1st gen airshed has been the perfect cold combo from 40°F down to the twenties. Lower than that I swap out the airshed for the R1 for max therm and airflow. If it’s below 0 F all 3 lol

The BD Jacket is great, if that’s what you mean. It is the Alpine Start Hoody.
Id say this is not as much as a midlayer but more of a top layer for high exertion activies like ski touring, running or rock climbing in windless conditions and you want the best warmth/weight ration while simultaneously cannot afford to get sweaty.
this isn't crew neck
It doesn't last long. The fluff compresses very quickly and does NOT bounce back.

@@GermanBadGuy the half zip is classic, but the full zip isn’t much heavier, and it makes it much more versatile. It’s easier to put on and take off, especially over clingy baselayers or thin sweaters. The main flaw of the regular R1 full zip is the pockets don’t zip which was a major oversight they attempt to make up for with the new Air version. The one advantage is the lack of zippers makes the pockets real comfy for jamming cool hands in since the reinforcement binding isn’t cold or scratchy, but they ain’t for storage
