Patagonia: Women's R2 Vest

New R2? fabric provides lightweight, core warmth without excess bulk for mountain pursuits.

On cold mountain days, the R2? Vest turns agonizing over warmth-versus-weight into a no-brainer. Its unique variable-fiber structure, updated with a matte finish and greater warmth, ensures optimal breathability while offering toasty, low-bulk core insulation. Stretchy R1? (now made with 60%-recycled polyester) lines the inner collar for next-to-skin comfort. The vest has a new, easy-to-use regular-coil zipper front, welded-in zippers on the hand pockets, and forward-set shoulder seams for pack-wearing comfort. 100% recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program. Slim, feminine fit with contouring along the sides and armholes.
