The Patagonia Women's R1 CrossStrata Hoody is a versatile, technical mid-layer designed for outdoor enthusiasts tackling unpredictable mountain conditions. Whether you're climbing, hiking, or trail running, this hoody excels in performance while keeping weight to a minimum.
Key Features:
- Material & Sustainability: Made from 90% recycled polyester and 10% elastane, this hoody prioritizes eco-friendliness, with the fabric produced in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory and treated with a PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. This ensures it resists light showers and wind while minimizing environmental impact.
- Weather Resistance & Breathability: With its double-weave fabric, it offers great breathability while still being resistant to abrasion and light rain. It’s not the warmest fleece, but it balances heat retention and moisture-wicking well, making it ideal for high-output activities where you’re working up a sweat.
- Fit & Functionality: The slim, stretchy fit accommodates movement, and the low-profile hood fits comfortably under a helmet, making it ideal for climbers and skiers. The hoody features well-placed side pockets above harness and backpack straps for accessibility, as well as a chest pocket for essentials.
- Comfort & Mobility: With a stretchy, abrasion-resistant exterior and a soft inner fleece, this jacket ensures comfort during long days outdoors. However, it’s best suited for mild to cool conditions, and it may retain more heat and sweat during intense activities.
This hoody is perfect for outdoor athletes seeking a technical, sustainable layer for high-energy activities like climbing, skiing, and hiking. It offers weather protection and breathability without sacrificing freedom of movement.
