I have 3 other R1 Air pieces, the Full Zip Hoody and 2 Half Zip Pullovers; and wanted at least one of these for the cusp between indoors & outdoors. Last year, a 3rd party review said R1 Air offered the best thermoregulation of any fleece on the market, and I would not quibble with that assessment. You will feel comfortable indoors if it's a little chilly and yet - magically - nice and warm down into the 30s outdoors. I guess people use these R1 Air garments for exercise, since they are SO breathable; I live in Northern Florida so I do not have such a situation, so I can't comment. All I can say is: I have R1, R1 Techface and R1 Air in my closet, and this is the BEST iteration of R1 in Patagonia's lineup - full stop.

This fleece crew makes an excellent mid layer or is even comfortable as a base layer. The fit is really nice, slim but not tight anywhere (unlike the regular R1 which I find a bit tight in places, even though I’m pretty slim). It seems nice and easy to move in. And the R1 air material is very soft and comfortable - near instant-warmth, but very breathable. And the crater blue colour is quite rich and looks good. This fleece should be excellent for sweaty pursuits in the cold.

I have the hooded jacket version of this piece which i absolutely love for high aerobic output sports like cross-country skiing and fall mountain biking. Happy to report the the crew version is just as good as the jacket. I literally could wear this everyday. I did note that the crew version feels a bit more fitted than the jacket but fortunately the material is pretty stretchy so it isn’t a big deal. Finally, I have gotten quite a few compliments when I worn it around town. Highly recommended!

Great sweater! Tight fit! Might want to size up if you want something loose. Light weight but doesn't feel cheap or lacking in heat retention.
I got this sweatshirt for a mix of both cool city walking and a base layer for skiing. Definitely feels nicely built and does a great job keeping me warm. It's super lightweight to pack into a bag. It very breathable and wouldn't hold up in wind, however, and I haven't washed it enough to know if it will hold up just fine long term. At 6'3 and 180lbs, a large was a good fit, but even a tad tight.
I wasn’t sure about this but heard a lot of great feedback on the R1 line so decided to get one. This crew neck is sweet because you can just wear it as a shirt and it looks rad. It’s been cold in Squamish the last few days and this has kept me warm and cozy. The medium fits great and i can wear a t-shirt under it with a bit of room. I’m 150lbs and 5’11. Get off your wallet and get one of these. Go enjoy nature, stay warm and hug a tree.
Got this for backpacking and it's been a great addition to my pack. Very light for the amount of warmth it provides, had this along with a capilene cool trail long sleeve and I would probably be comfortable sitting down to around 55F or so. If you're moving I think it would be overkill in anything over 30-40F.Super soft and comfy too. Chest pocket is nice for a small swiss army knife or something, but I wouldn't put anything over a few ounces in there. Fit is pretty slim but not as slim as I was expecting based on other reviews. I'm 5'11'' 170 lbs and the medium fits well. I can fit a base layer under it but not much else.
My second favorite piece - only after the zip-neck version of the same thing. I ordered both with the intentions of returning one but I liked them both so much that I kept them both.This is always in my bag for ski trips. I'll wear it all day under my ski shell, and keep it on for apres skis / dinner that night. Great technical piece and looks great wearing casually too. I would wear it even more often but I often refrain unless i really think I NEED it in order to make it last longer (i.e. if I'm going for an easy local hike I may through on a cheaper piece). That 's the only thing - I'm not sure how many years I will get out of this. Time will tell!
Patagonia R1 sweater, great purchase. I thought it ran a tad bit small when compared to Synchilla sweater. Sweater is super warm and great for hiking or even just wearing around the house.
Have been wearing this non-stop since I got it a couple of weeks ago. Very light weight, very warm, breaths well. Too early to comment on quality. I got the large and the fit is spot on for me (5'10,170lbs, athletic build).
