Patagonia R1.5 Jacket - Women's

Striking a line between base layer and insulation, the BioMap� design of the R1.5� Jacket by Patagonia seamlessly varies fleece densities for optimal high-output, cold-weather performance. (BioMap is an innovative knitting technology, co-developed with Malden Mills, that blends different-weight fleeces without cutting fabric or adding seams.) A more-open grid structure under the arms and down the sides enhances breathability (and matches the pit-zips on our hard shells); curved mesh grooves inside the elbows, on the shoulder blades and behind the neck facilitate mobility and minimize bulk; and in.closed in. knit in the core ensures warmth where it matters most. With stretch throughout and a brushed, wicking interior for next-to-skin comfort. The collar, cuffs, pockets and reverse-coil, center-front zip are glued, complementing the clean, minimalist design.
