The R2 TechFace is Patagonia's midweight softshell jacket. Sits between a fleece and a hardshell stretchy, breathable, and wind-resistant enough for most conditions. The chest pocket has a contrasting panel and the fit is slim without being tight.

What's it actually for?

It works as an outer layer in milder weather or as a mid-layer under a waterproof when it's properly cold. The Polartec fabric has a grid fleece interior that traps warmth without bulk. Good for hiking, climbing, or just walking the dog when it's blowy. Patagonia gear tends to last years and they'll repair it if something goes wrong.
