I have had the Patagonia R1Pullover now for 3 years and have to say it is a very nice layer. It is very warm, breathable and incredibly comfortable.
It is made of a neat waffle material on the inside, smooth on the outside.
It also has a favorite feature of mine, the napoleon pocket.
Laura rocks the Patagonia R1 Full Zip Jacket all the winter long.
Bottom Line: I really like this layer, in fact I have two of them. They are really warm, breath well, and wear well. You can run these through the washing machine a ton without any risk of shrinking or falling apart. The only downside is that it is pricy at $130, but if you wait until spring you may just find it on sale, like I did.
